| Guitar contacting |
I feel like we English contacted nonstop...
which we did. We tried every different form of English contacting that we could
possibly think of, including guitar, chalk, flyers, posters, bloc knocking...
everything! We've been getting lots of phone calls so hopefully we'll have a
ton of new people at English tomorrow and we'll be able to find some people who
are also interested in the gospel.
We met with Elena on Saturday which was
wonderful. I just love that girl. We're going to start doing language study
with her every Saturday like we used to in Constanta! :D yaaay

Okay... so the real story of the week was
on Saturday....
We were putting up English posters, walking
down a street we've walked many many times. Sora was holding the posters and I
was tapping. As we walked, I noticed a man following us. I had an uneasy
feeling and said to Sora that we should keep walking, instead of stopping to
put up a poster. Just as we turned away from the guy, he suddenly broke out
into a full sprint and started yelling and screaming at the top of his lungs.
We immediately grabbed onto one another and we both had the feeling just to
stay calm, ignore him and keep walking. He ran all the way down the street
until he was just behind us. He yelled and screamed at the top of his lungs,
asking why we looked at him, why we wouldn't talk to him, and something about
people and boys and I have no idea. Naturally we were terrified. He was inches
from us, screaming and waving his arms! For some reason I felt that we should
pretend to not understand him. I told him in English that we don't speak
Romanian. He backed off a little, long enough for me to grab the phone. I
called the Zone Leaders. Elder Hokkanen answered. All the meanwhile the guy
followed and shouted and screamed!
Our conversation went something like this:
Elder H: Alo, Elder Hokkanen pe telefon
Me: There's a crazy guy following us!
Elder H: wait what?
Me: There's a crazy man following us
At this point the man jumped right in front
of us, waved his arms and screamed in our faces!
Elder H: What's that yelling?
Me: The crazy guy!!!!
Elder H: Oh, like there's a legit crazy guy
following you?
Me: YES!!!
Elder H: o crap (finally understanding)...
where are you?! Is he threatening you?!
Me: Eroilor (the area), and Yes, he's
screaming in our faces so yes, we feel threatened!!
Elder H: we're 10 minutes away, Do you have
pepper spray?!
Sora was way ahead of him and was already
searching in her bag. She pulled out the pepper spray. Seeing that she had
something in her hand, the crazy man backed off a little, yelling continually,
as we continued to walk as fast as possible toward the nearest bus stop. We saw
a few people up ahead. We ran up next to this old woman. The crazy man decided
that since we now had the protection the people at the bus stop he'd continue
to yell at us from the street, as cars whizzed past, honking at him.
The bus came and we escaped...safe and
sound! yay
So that was our crazy story for the week! Weird
huh... but we were protected by the Lord!
This week, should be great, we're going to
Iasi, and then next week we're going to Moldova for 4 days so we won't be
emailing until Thursday.
Thanks for your prayers, I know they're
keeping me safe! Keep the faith,
Sora Rivera
