Wanderers in a Strange Land

As we were doing our scripture study last week we came across a fantastic scripture in Alma 26:36-37.  God has been mindful of us as we have been wanderers in a strange land.



We had a wonderful Seniors Conference in Brasov where we got to see the beautiful city and tour the area.  Even got to visit Dracula's Castle which was great fun, and got some important training on our work.

Dan is standing by the opening to the secret staircase.  It was a wonderful day.

I thought you might like to see the pictures of the castle.  It was built in 1420 and the King of Romania lived there.  If you want some fun you can research Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula stories.

It's tricky here in Romania-this week while I was doing my wash the city just shut the water off-and kept it off for several hours.  Apparently this happens quite frequently and for that reason we store water in our apt. , the laundry will just have to wait. 

We had a wonderful missionary lesson tonight with the sisters and with a college girl they were working with.  She accepted the challenge to be baptised.  She made a profound statement, she said I wanted to read the Book of Mormon to gather information, I quickly learned that this book is much more than that.
 I'm gaining a new testimony of the Book of Mormon everyday here in Romania.  It is truly the word of God.

  1. Wow! The history in Romania is unbelievable! Fun secret staircase! And what a wonderful experience with the sweet sister who wants to get baptised. It doesn't get any better than that!
