Singles Conference in Brasov

We had an exciting opportunity to assist the District President in putting on a Singles Conference for all the members over 30yrs. old.  I worked with a wonderful couple in doing the food for 3 days.  This is Elder and Sora McFabulous (McFadden) from St. George, Utah.

We had a good turn out, with 40 members coming from around the country.  They had introductions and games and great food and a dance.  It was wonderful to meet some of these members who travelled so far to be here.

 

Romanians have a favourite thing they like to do.  Right after Sacrament Meeting they love to take a picture of everyone that's there.  It's kinda fun.  You won't find me in the pictures because I have  6 cameras strapped to my arm taking all their photos

It was a great event where they attended classes and shared their testimonies and made friendships.  It was fun to be a part of it.  This is one of my friends from Iasi.

 

You won't find Elder Heninger there either.  He had to get in the car and travel 8 hours to Oradea where he participated in District Training and take care of Mission Business.  We had to split up and cover all the bases that weekend.  His work was important training on welfare, home teaching/visiting teaching, to Branch Presidents. 

It was great to see many people make connections.  I found my companion again and re-connected.

We also have the privilege to teach the temple preparation class to a couple in our branch.  Going to the temple is a great challenge here.  Romania is part of the European Union but Ukraine is not.  Our temple district is Kyiv Ukraine which requires a passport to attend.  Most Romanians do not have a passport and the cost is prohibitive.  Going to Germany is longer and more expensive but requires no passport.  So these are the things that must be taken into consideration.

This is our beautiful couple who are preparing to attend the temple.  Such faithful great people.
