We love spring !

This first picture is of Elder Heninger outside the bathroom at the gas station in Feldioara.  Someone must always guard because the bathroom door does not lock (classic).  He looks like a sharp missionary.

With spring brings a few opportunities to do service.  We helped our new members get a field ready for planting onions.


It was amazing to watch as they cultivated this field.  This is a lot of hard work.  


This new born colt was only 1 day old

Then we began a small road trip.  We were asked to come to Deva to do a fireside.  It was so nice to be there with the members and support them.  We had 2 hours free so we took the ride up the mountain to see the fortress that was being restored.


This was kinda like a cable car to the top.
We had a beautiful view of the city.



This is right at the top where they are restoring it.

Deva is the city where Romania has a big gymnastics facility.  Many Olympic athletes are from here.
It is where Nadia Comaneci trained when she won her gold medal perfect 10

Travelling through the countryside was wonderful and green and so pretty.  The sheep were everywhere with their shepherds.



We saw so many flocks, which is always a thrill.

Then we were off to Timisoara where we stayed with another senior couple and did our fireside and spoke in church.  It is such a beautiful city.

This is the beautiful Centru or center of town.


Our wonderful Senior missionaries.

We drove to Cluj so Elder Heninger could do some temple recommend interviews.  We were able to visit the Salt mine near Cluj which was very cool.

It is so big in there, they have a Ferris wheel and you can row boats around deep underground.


We were tired when we got home, but we travelled much more comfortably than this poor guy travelling in a small trailer pulled by a very small car.




Happy trails to you until we meet again.
