Really Going Places Now

We had a wonderful Service Project on the 12th of May.  It was called Do It Romania, where anyone interested helped in cleaning the country.  Mormon Helping Hands were there and having fun.  It was great to work with our branch and help clean up this beautiful country.  We all hopped on the bus to get to our location and away we went.

This is a broom that is used alot here, it is made of twigs and used for outside sweeping.

We all worked hard and were very tired.

We also visited a mental hospital this last week with our humanitarian missionaries.  They helped in replacing the old washing machine that I thought you might enjoy seeing.

This machine does not spin out only wash by agitating back and forth and then clothes are placed in another machine to spin out.  Then the drying racks collapsed this winter with the harsh conditions we had so we will be helping our humanitarian missionaries replace the drying racks for the hospital next week.  When I say we, I mean them- I'm not too good with a hammer.

Lastly It was Elder Heninger's Birthday, so Happy Birthday to You

What a privilege it is to serve here in Romania.  We are so lucky to be able to be here and we are learning so many things while helping the church to grow.  We are grateful to our family who loves and supports us and to God who has given us all we have.  Keep the Faith!!

Lots of work to do now

We had a wonderful Seniors conference in Bucharest.  Great classes and great food and lots of sites to see.  We had reports on Training and YSA and Public Affairs and Humanitarian Efforts.  Lots of work done and more to go.

The Elders even sang which was fantastic!!

We took at little trip around this lake in this boat behind us.  It felt like Heritage Park, it was fun.

We went to the Park where the first apostle came to dedicate the land for missionary work in 1990.  It has a very hard name, I can't pronounce it or spell it, but was so beautiful.

The sites in downtown Bucharest were amazing.  The design and architecture blows me away.

This is an angel carrying a fallen soldier to heaven.  It is enormous and sits out front the Marriott Hotel.

This an original bank from before Communism and during communism was the only National bank  and still operates as a bank today.

Original Orthodox Church.  People were worshipping and lighting candles for others.

This church is from the 1700's. I got a few pictures on the inside as well.

This is the ceiling.

This picture is in the National Theater building, it is amazing. Two of our missionaries perfrormed here and they have amazing voices.  

Elder Heninger was asked to serve in the Mission Presidency with Pres. Hill. We are very excited and look forward to learning so much from him. We also get to drive a car Yahooo!! It's great, a little blue Skoda.

We are excited about the gospel and hope you are too.  We love you and miss you all.
