Ceau!
I cannot believe that December is already here. Sibiu has gotten a lot colder and has really started to prepare for the Holiday season. We also found out about transfers. We will be going down to Bucaresti on Tuesday and coming back Wednesday or Thursday. Sora Sam will be going to Chisinau and I will be staying here in Sibiu with Sora Zimmerman! We couldn't believe it when the transfer boards came out. I get the opportunity to serve alongside my best friend again. Once in the MTC and a second time in the mission field. She is an amazing missionary and will do wonders for Sibiu. I can't wait.
The country celebrated it's form of independence day on December 1st. It was also Saint Andrew's Day. This is an Orthodox holdiay dedicated to the apostle Andrew who came and taught in Romania after Christ's Atonement. This week I realized how much I have fallen in love with the New Testament. It is a history of the people in the Holy lands. It is a history of the people with whom I work with and love everyday. I find strength and comfort in the words of Christ and the words of his apostles as they preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. After Christ was gone, somedays the apostles didn't have the most success and were rejected, but otherdays they had success and helped others to be spiritually healed by the gospel. That is exactly what missionary work is today. I just love the New Testament. I feel so close to the Savior as I read his words. Especially as we near the Christmas holiday may we remember the true meaning of Christmas.
Va Iubesc,
Sora Remsberg
