Sister's Conference in Bucharest

August 1st was a fun day for all of the sisters in our mission. We had the opportunity to be together, to socialize snd more importantly, learn specific missionary skills for the women in this important work. Our group photo shows all of our sister missionaries except Sora Reed and Sora Lofgreen. These are our two senior sisters assigned to Moldova. Because of Visa problems they could not attend and join us. We really missed them!  Sora Paeamoelotu (from New Zealand) started the day off with a cute skit about the demands put on the LDS woman. From there we were taught by Sora and President Ashby, the Assistants and two of our Senior sisters, Sister Boyle and Sister Pulman. Sora Boyle talked about how the sisters could help teach and train the auxillary leaders in their Branches and Sora Pulman taught the sisters how to deal with stress on their missions. Sora Harrison sang a beautiful song for us and was accompanied by Sora Beck. Elder Dabling got us all moving with his interesting, informative and fun Self-defense course. The sisters learned that their talents are unique from the elders and that they have many ways of touching hearts that only they can do. We also had many of our past sisters send us letters on the talents they developed during their missions here. They gave our sisters advice on how to use their talents. To top it off, we had a wonderful lunch catered by Rosie. Everyone left feeling spiritually uplifted and spoiled! It was a real blessing for all of us and we were grateful for this opportunity. Watch the two short videos and you will see some of the fun we had!
