Hello!!!!

I think I say this every week but this week really was amazing!!!!! To start we started teaching this amazing family!!!! On Tuesday we were walking to a members house and thus lady walked up to us, and she asked us if we were from the church and how she wants to come to church! And we were like well.. Okay!! And we explained that we are
missionaries and we talk to people about our church and God and Jesus Christ! And she invited us over! So that Thursday we went over to her house and her whole family gathered around us while we explained the Book of Mormon!! The family was just in awe and thought it was amazing!!! Even the younger kids!! They don't speak very good German
and Romanian! So we used the pictures in the front!! We went back the following Saturday and finished explaining the restoration and Joseph Smith and they thought it was amazing!!! And we brought the picture book with us to help and to have something for the kids and they loved it! We talked about how we are asked to follow Jesus Christ's example and be baptized by the correct authority! And we showed the picture of Christ being baptized and the spirit just hit like a brick wall and the mom almost started crying and she nodded and said that's what we want!! So we were able to set a date with the mom and dad and three oldest kids and their aunt!!! They are the Geborg family!! I'm am so excited for them!! We are meeting with them again tomorrow!! 

We met with a lot of potentials this week and all but one became new investigators!! That one wasn't very excited when he showed up expecting a date and came to find out two girls who really only wanted to talk about God, Jesus Christ, and a book were there!! But all the others had really good lessons!! It's so cool to watch people's reactions when we talk about the restoration!! It's always different!!
One guy looked at us like we were crazy but we explained that is why prayer is so important!! We can say as many times as we want that this church is true!! But the only way he will know is to pray! So he agreed! But others, like the Geborg family, and this man Ebi are totally open to it and open to the spirit testifying to them!!!

So I don't know if any of you know this, but the Muslims have this fasting thing they do, and they do it for a whole month!!!!! Where from 5 in the morning to 10 at night they can't eat or leave their house!!! So like 5 of our investigators can't meet with us for a whole month!!!! So dumb!! Who fasts for a month?! That's not even healthy!!
And the Quran doesn't even make sense.. Someone read me something out of it and I don't even get how they think it is scripture... Sorry if there are any Muslims reading this! But it's true!!

So we met with Samson this week!! I'm going to seriously cry when I have to leave him!!! He is so amazing and just grows so much every day!!! We talked about the priesthood some more and he made a countdown for a year from his baptism date and when he can officially go on a mission!! He finally agreed to wear a tie to church! It took me a while but I convinced him!! The hard part is getting him to wear
a tie AND tuck his shirt in! I haven't been able to do that yet! But we will keep working on it!!!

Amir is doing good!! We were able to finally squeeze in a new member lesson again! Those are so hard cause he always has so many questions that we have to answer! Which is good! But hard cause we need to teach him lessons! But his leg is a blessing in disguise cause now we can meet with him more often!! But he is doing really good!!! So that's awesome!! I told him to stay off the longboard for a while and his mom agreed!!
