Very Exciting

We had a wonderful experience attending this baptism in our branch.  The shorter man was the one getting baptised and these two great missionaries did a super job teaching him.
We attended one of his discussions and met his two children.  It is wonderful to see how the gospel brings hope into peoples lives.


I found this flag that I thought was interesting.  At the close of communism the people simply cut the communist symbols out of the middle of the flag and they continue to use them.


We went to Galati where we did training and went to church.  I got a few pictures of this pretty city on the Danube River.


We are excited about teaching the temple preparation class and we are also beginning to teach Advanced English Leadership course.  This should be good.  The weather has cooled abit and that is good also.  Elder Heninger has mastered making banana bread and everyone in the branch loves it.

We are busy trying to make a difference and we have found that sadly many people are just not interested in our wonderful message. This does not discourage us, we have been called and set apart and continue to do our part to spread the gospel to all the world.  Those who will listen live with more light and peace and love in their lives and they are the pioneers of Romania.  I have come to love the members and appreciate their great sacrifices to move the church forward,
I love these people!!  They are my dear friends.

  1. Wonderful post! How exciting to attend a baptism! Your efforts in service and love for these people are beautiful. We had a senior couple in our ward just come home from Slovakia. I loved it when he bore his testimony about how nice it is to be understood when speaking english, and how old dogs CAN learn new tricks :) You are both in my thought and prayer. I love you!
