16 februarie 2015 - Orbită uman.

Hi again! Still doing missionary work over here. Haha. Kind of the same story as last week..... But we've got some really great things happening here. But I'm not going to tell you about any of them.... Hahaha. Instead, I want to share a personal experience that I had this week. I may or may not have had a total break down because I've been praying for something specific that hasn't happened yet. I talked to mom and dad about it a couple weeks ago and what they said really made me step back and look at what I was asking for. It was not an unrighteous desire at all, in fact, it was QUITE the opposite. But it was something that will happen on God's time, if it's going to happen at all. I came to realize that if this thing would have happened..... I would have had different companions than the ones I've served with up to this point.....which has been one of my biggest blessings from my mission. Almost every single one of my companions has become one of my new best friends. I feel incredible blessed to have been put with such lovely ladies and to be able to work along side them. If my prayers would have been answered, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet all of them! The same day as said crying session, I read a quote on a sticky note I had written in my planner ages ago and it hit me straight in the soul. So I'd like to share it all with you!

"The same God that placed that star in a precise orbit millenia before it appeared over Bethlehem in celebration of the birth of the Babe has given at least equal attention to placement of each of us in precise human orbit so that we may, if we will, illuminate the landscape of our individual lives, so that our own light may not only lead others but warm them as well."  -Neal A. Maxwell

I'm exactly where I need to be. God knows what's best for me.....more than I ever will. I'm supposed to be here in Romania working with these specific people. I'm so lucky to have a Father in Heaven who steers me in the direction my life issupposed to go, instead of letting me steer it by myself in the direction I want it to go. Mmmmmm. I love this gospel. I love being a missionary. We are all so lucky to have the knowledge of Christ's restored gospel. Whoo! Have a great week!

This one's just of a cool wooden church.

This photograph is of this way cool statue that we found on my STL exchange with Sora Trebas this week!

Okay. This one wins art piece of the week. Iubire is the Romanian word for love. Found this gem when we got lost in downtown Bucharest.

This second one wins graffiti of the week.

This one is when we got lost in downtown. We were lost in the mess of side streets and couldn't find the main street where we needed to be to get home. We turned a corner and saw this... Maybe I thought it was beautiful because I was so relieved we found our way back.... But either way. Bucharest is lovely.  :)
