Absolutely Perfect Day

We had a very special day on Sunday.  A bus arrived outside the church and 15 of our friends from Feldioara walked into church.  They looked so beautiful and this was the first time they had been able to come into the city of Brasov for church in 8 years. They had a warm reunion with many members of the branch, several people they introduced to the gospel years ago.  My pictures are from a few days before and on Sunday.

And then we had our baptism service.  The members of the branch stayed for the baptism as well.

It was absolutely beautiful.

Elder Heninger baptised this little sweetie.  He also spoke the words in Romanian which made it so special for her.  The sisters did all the teaching for our sweetie.  Their pictures are from a few days before.

 

These are our two amazing missionaries Sora Lund and Sora Cottam.  Sora Lund is brand new and has learned her language wonderfully.  Sora Cottam's love sunk deep into the hearts of all our new friends.



Elder Bruner and Elder Swensen had a great day as well.  Elder Bruner baptised and confirmed while Elder Swensen spoke at the baptism and did an excellent job for a brand new missionary.

 

We also just had our Senior Conference which was very nice.

We had discussions and outings and wonderful music.

This is our Mission President and his wife at Prejmer a fortified church just outside Brasov.

I love it when the men sing and so we had them sing "Ye Elders of Israel" It was fantastic

We had a beautiful meal in a restaurant in Centru -downtown Brasov.

 We visited a professional Artisan who makes ceramics in classic Romania figures.

This is the nativity set that many Seniors purchased.  I did not purchase one as they are very heavy and very fragile.

His work is amazing.

And we had a special visit from Tevia from Fiddler on the Roof.  Our mission president has an amazing singing voice and we thoroughly enjoying him sing "If I were a Rich Man".

 

We had a special testimony meeting and it was a great uplift for all Senior Couples.
We have been greatly blessed by the Lord as the work moves forward in Romania.  We are so privileged to be here and contribute in whatever way we can.  Great things are happening and it is very exciting.
