The first week of June!
The beginning of the month started out with President Ashby having the honor of setting apart two new missionaries. Elder Antonio Szauter went to Scotland and his brother, Catalin Szauter went to England.These two young men are from Romania but had no family and were raised in an orphanage. Because of his extensive charity work here, Brother Steve Worsley found these boys and, after getting to know them, he and his family sponsored them for the last two years so the boys could attend school in America. This great family taught these young men the gospel and both brothers decided to go on a mission at the same time. Before leaving they came back to Romania to get their Visa's and be set apart for their missions.
Our "resident artist", Assistant Elder Rigby, drew a beautiful likeness of President and Sora Ashby to commorate the birthday.
"Ummmm, my favorite.....Apple pie! The best birthday cake ever!" exclaimed President Ashby.
Our dear friend, Sorin Stanciu, also celebrated with us. The birthdays that occur during our missions are ones neither we, or our missionaries, will ever forget.
Oh yes, and not to be forgotten, the movers came this week and we spent several days messing up the house, packing, throwing away junk and just getting ready to have them haul our stuff away!
THE WAGON....of course we packed it! It has turned out to be a big hassel because of custom laws but we are doing our best to get it home! It left on a boat and if the USA doesn't reject it, the gypsy wagon will be in Utah by August!posted by Grandma Chubby | 10:09 AM

Beautiful pictures as usual. It is so fun to see the pictures and read about what goes on in the Romanian Mission. I'm going to miss Sora Ashby. Hope you are planning on telling the new President's wife that she has to keep it up or we will be left out. :)

I second that last comment! Thank you very much for keeping us all updated and excited about life and progress in the Romania Bucharest Mission. And seriously, encourage your replacement to keep up this wonderful work. Sorry to see you go but we all have to go where, and when (darn it!), the Lord wants us to go.
la revedere!

What an exciting time for President Ashby to be able to set apart these two fine young Romania men to be missionaries and then to receive home a find young Romanian woman from her mission. What a fantastic experience you have both had. With all we went through to get that wagon to Buch I sure hope it makes it to Utah.
