Oh The Road Again....

The first two weeks of April have consisted of many hours driving around the country doing an Interview tour. Normally we do this with each zone right after we have zone conference. Plans changed this month when we found out we were having Elder Christofferson come to Romania to preside over our District Conference on the 19th and 20th of the month. He then is going to do Zone Conference with us in Bucharest, Moldova and Arad. With the schedule we are on that week we have no time for interviews! So here we are, traveling the country. I won't comment much but thought I would share some fun photos of this trip.

We stopped to help some gypsies who were broken down. They were shocked that we would stop and were very grateful.An ancient tower guarding the pass between two mountains.

This member is a musician who sings and plays at restaurants and on the radio. He is very talented and has compiled and played his own compositions of LDS hymns. He gifted us with a CD of these hymns. It is very beautiful and was very generous of him.
