Ceau!
The weeks are continuing to go by so fast. This week we were able to travel to Arad to celebrate Christmas with our zone and with the Arad zone. It was fun to be with all the other missionaries and I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner. I love the holiday season because we really get to focus on the true meaning of Christmas, Christ. We have the opportunity to invite Christ into the lives of others everyday, but it just seems that during this time of the year everyone opens up just a little bit more. We do truly bring glad tiding of great joy.
When we got back, we had lots of work to do and we saw so many little miracles. Sora Z and I had made a goal to have 2 investigators at church this week. We knew it could be done, we just needed to work hard. Sunday came and Natalia, the sister of a member and an investigator came to church and a new investigator, Sanda, who is the girlfriend of a member came! What a blessing. Church was really good as we had President and Sora Heninger, the second counselor in the mission presidency come to speak to us.
We have also been working with a less-active member quite a bit and he is progressing and coming back. The best part is to see his desire to share the gospel with those he loves. What better way to strengthen your own testimony than by inviting others to strengthen theirs?!
When Elder Kerr of the 70 was here he advised us to think of power lines, our arsenal, to give to those we come in contact with everyday. We really have about one sentence or one minute to grab people's attention and invite them to learn more about the gospel. This is even more true as it gets colder and colder outside. We have made it a goal to think of at least one new "arsenal" everyday. We have come up with a few:

-Repentance is the ability to change who you want to become
-The Gospel of Jesus Christ inspires action and change continually
-The Bible teaches us what we need to do to return to God, the Book of Mormon teaches us how we can return to Him. Together they are complete
-The Atonement is the foundation of our lives and our faith and qualifies us for all the blessings of heaven.
-The feelings of the heart can bring great joy into our lives

If you had one line to share with others about any aspect of the gospel, what would it be? I would love to hear what you would say. The gospel is so personal and tailored to every individual life. It is truly a blessing that we all have been given in our lives.
Va iubesc,
