Pray for the Church in Romania

So, I have a favor to ask everyone. I know you all pray for me and I really am thankful for it. I know want to ask you all to pray for the Church in Romania as well. Overall, it is not going good at all. More than half of the members are inactive or less active. For example; in Timisoara we have 80 or so Baptized members and only 20 come on a good Sunday. We really need to fix the Church here because we are just putting new members into a bucket with holes in it. The problems that I've seen are that the members don't have a true love for each other. There are some members that have strong personalities that have offended many and those offended people said that they won't come back until the people that have offended them are gone.

Another thing is that many people have moved to other Countries for different jobs and such. So, that hasn't helped the situation either. So, I'm asking for us all to put our prayers together and pray for the Church to grow and prosper here and for the members here to gain a true love for each other and for God. I think that this will really help the situation with the Church in Romania at this time. This would be the best Birthday gift you could give me at this time.

Well, sorry to end on such a sad note. But, it's how it really is here and I want to help it change and get on the path that it needs to be going. If you look up the dedicatory prayer of Romania on Sora Lundbergs blogspot or lds.org. It says that Romania will be a beacon of light to the countries around it. The Romanians need some help to get to this point. So I'm asking for everyone to pray for the Church in Romania. Pray for it's members to gain a true love for each other and for them to build up their own Zion here.
