A Good Week


This is the view from our apartment at sunrise.  It was actually an orange sun and it was so beautiful.

On Prep-day we walked through the old gate into the city.  It was a cool gate and is right down town.


We were walking to one of the only two McDonalds in Iasi on our day off. There are very few places you can order a hamburger in Romania. 

We had a special baptism this week.  The elders taught a man who travels an hour by train to attend church every week.  He said that when he was challenged for baptism it was in very broken Romanian by our newest Elder, he could not deny the spirit he felt or the faith of this young missionary.  It was very wonderful.  This is a picture of our district in Iasi.

We are begining a new class of English students this week, we have 8 in our advanced class. Middle class has 25 and the beginning class has 60. We have set up several appointments to start teaching the gospel this week and we are very excited about the wonderful people we have to work with. English classes are one of the very best way to meet and start teaching discussions quickly. We have a great time teaching english as well.
 We work closely with the Elders and Sisters with teaching discussions and reactivation of the members. I'm always amazed when they turn to Sora Heninger and I wanting our input into the discussion when it has all be in Romanian and I don't know what they are talking about but have had very clear impressions on what I'm to bear testimony of. The spirit is very strong and I love working with such wonderful missionaries. They are in turn amazed by the relevance and spirit of our testmonies.
