This month I had to find a solution to some financial difficulty. There were more expenses than usual; I had to pay the house and car tax, so I was left with little money until the next donation and I had to look for a way to earn some money.

It so happened that someone needed a worker for a few days to put tiles in a kitchen, so I took this opportunity. I did not know what the Lord was preparing for me, but the place where I had to work was a monastery five kilometers from our town. On this occasion I met the abbot Teofil and the priest Arsenie.

God had a plan for these people, and a friendship was forged between us. I had the opportunity to talk to them about all sorts of things. We talked about what's going on around the world because of the pandemic, about the wickedness of many people they had working for them, and about the fact that you can't trust anyone anymore. I thank God that from these discussions, I was able to ask them a few questions like; Why do you think people have sinful behavior and what can be done to change it? They believed that for certain people, they will not be able to change.

I started talking to them about the way I was 16 years ago. They couldn't believe what I was telling them, since they had a good impression of me from day one. From there I began to preach the gospel to them, to show them that there is a great difference between a religious man and one who is faithful to God. I told them that God has a solution for all people, not just the wicked and untrustworthy. I kept telling them that people need to know the TRUTH, they need GOD more than ever, showing them that I am one of those people for whom faith in God has produced a great change.

Please pray with us for these two people, we do not know how God will work. in them I kindly ask you to pray for me, we will visit them with the family. Pray that God will give us the wisdom and skill to know how to speak to these people so that they will be touched by the gospel.

Thank you for all you do for your mission work here, for your prayers and support.

Be blessed!
