September 1, 2014 - Tatăl ceresc nu face greseala.

Photographs first today!

Our Zone Training Meeting from the beginning of the transfer.
I just barely got a copy of it...but here are the Moldovan missionaries!

A Christ statue in Mitoc, a village we visited this past week. These shrines are EVERYWHERE in Moldova. But I've never seen one as beautiful as this! This one was carved from wood and the crown of thorns were real thorns....the detail was incredible.

One of the puppies who followed us around Mitoc. They were adorable. We call this puppy contacting.....every creature on this Earth should hear the gospel, right?!

Sora Bynum and I in some building ruins....contacting
gets kind of weird in villages sometimes.

Just some pretty ruins.

The mama cat who had baby kittens outside of our apartment....I'm pretty sure I talked about it in last week's email! We named the little brown one Nephi because he's our favorite....then the other one's Laman and Lemuel because all they do is meow when we pick them up. Hahaha.

Mirror selfie with our neighbor's cat. Sometimes it sneaks into our apartment when we open the door, which I secretly love.... But we always play with her for a minute before putting her back into the hall. Haha.

Okay....now that I've sent the most random photos from my week.... In this week's email I'm just going to focus on one of the things I learned... Heavenly Father doesn't make mistakes. This concept hit me SO hard this past week. We had a hard week because literally every single lesson we had scheduled fell through...and that certainly starts to take a toll after awhile. But on Friday I had my STL exchange for the transfer with Sora Bray and it was such a good experience! She did a lovely job at reminding me that everything happens for a reason. Heavenly Father doesn't make mistakes and if I'm working hard in faith, things will go how HE wants them to go. 

I hope you all know how very much I love this gospel. I know God is my loving Heavenly Father and is very, very aware of what I'm going through and He knows what He wants me to become. Heavenly Father doesn't make mistakes.

PROFITE DE ZILE.
