Humanitarian Projects

Several people have asked me what Humanitarian projects our mission has been working on lately. This past month we have had the privilege of donating hundreds of wheelchairs in Bucharest to those who are unable to walk. To see the excitement on the faces of people who are the recipients of these wheelchairs is very touching.

Elder and Sora Johnston (the couple in the third photo down) are our area directors and were in charge of this effort. We are also working on a water project to drill wells in needy villages and a honey project that will make it possible for the many beekeepers here in Romania to market and sell their honey and actually make some money. These projects are very big and are being worked on right now. We hope to see some progress here in the near future. Elder Johnston is 2nd counselor to President Ashby in the mission and as you can imagine, has his hands full! We really admire and love all our couple missionaries. It is amazing how much they accomplish in this mission!
