Great Start for the New Year

Today was a very special day.  We had our members and friends from Feldioara arrive for church on the bus and it was so wonderful to have them come to Brasov.



We had two very special Baptisms today and it was super to all be together from Brasov and Feldioara.  I think we had 50 people at church.  Here are  a few pictures.


This the sweetest gal you have ever seen.



We are so excited to be part of these special peoples lives.

It is a privilege to be able to serve in Romania.  We have made some life long friends.
Here are some snow pictures as well.



We are so lucky to serve with Sora Hosking and Sora Cottam.

Some Christmas Pictures for You

I think I fixed the problem.

This is our beautiful tree in Centru, so awesome.

Our super missionaries and fantastic member.  This is Christmas Eve after doing a little Secret Santa work.
The ground here was a serious skating rink.  We were lucky to get across alive.
We had a great meeting on Christmas Sunday and a wonderful program for everyone.


We had our own New Years party, which was so fun.  We made party hats and played Rook til midnight.

This is a cobble stone street with lights all across.  So beautiful.  This is in Iasi.



That's it for our Christmas pictures.  Next for the real important stuff.

Happy New Year or la multi ani

It is always a very exciting time of year and we have enjoyed Christmas and New Year with our members and missionaries.  We have lots of snow and feel right at home.

I am having technical difficulties with my blog.  I am unable to upload pictures and so until I get some one to show me what I am doing wrong we are without pictures.  Anyone that knows please email me.

We had a great Christmas and stayed busy so as to not get homesick.  We were busy being Santa's helpers Christmas Eve and on Christmas Day we had a lovely dinner with 4 members of our branch and the missionaries.  It was also very exciting to play Rook.  For the first time since we left we had an awesome Rook game with the missionaries, playing 4 handed, 5 handed and 6 handed Rook, while everyone took turns skyping their families.

We are very excited about our work here and the Lord is blessing us so much.  We have many people we are teaching and have plans for baptism.  I sure hope I will have pictures to show soon.  The best help for missionaries are members so be sure to share all your favourite people with them. 

I'm still reading the Romanian Book of Mormon and am in Helaman.  It is getting a little easier and I enjoy it, I am still working on my goal to finish it before I leave.

Hope you have made some exciting New Year goals.  We wish you all a Super New Year.
