Galaţi Branch Conference

Galaţi Branch Conference 25 May 2008
Today was the annual branch conference. President and Sora Ashby were here along with their assistants. It was a wonderful meeting as we had a record attendance with 35 people in attendance. We had 5 visitors and 4 investigators and the rest were regular members. We got to sustain the living Prophet along with all the other general, mission and local authorities. We had speakers and a priesthood chorus, then Sora Ashby and President Ashby spoke to us. We took a few minutes after conference to take some pictures, then we had a "new member meeting" to honor our two newest members and allow them the opportunity to bear their testimonies. It was hard to say "goodbye" to President and Sora Ashby. This is their last trip to Galaţi as they go home the end of June. So it was very sad for all. But we will see them again . . . at future Mission Reunions.

We came home to Galaţi
Our Extended Stay in Moldova
We got to stay in Chişinău for 4 more days so we got to go to church with them the next day where the service is conducted in Romanian and Russian with all participating in their native language and it just seems normal to them. We also had the opportunity after church to attend the baptism of the mother of one of our YSA young ladies from Orhei. WOW!!!
We did a little touring with Iuliana on Monday up to Orhei and Orhei Vechi (an old part of the county) where there is a monastery and a church built into a cave. The monks all used to live in caves in the cliffs around the monastery. And that evening she and her husband invited us to attend their Family Home Evening. Tuesday we had the opportunity to have a fireside with them there. Elder Todd Christofferson, the brand new Apostle, had come to tour our mission and do conferences and firesides so he was there for them and then he presided at our missionary Zone Conference the next day. What an experience for us and all of them. He left us all with an Apostolic blessing.
We met so many wonderful people there and hope to see them many more times before we leave our mission here.

YSA Conference Jan 08
37 Amazing YSA
What we've been up to . . . .
Well, first off, we love it here in Galaţi Romania. We are responsible for watching over three little branches in our zone . . . Galaţi, Bacău, and Iaşi. We are supposed to travel to each of them once a transfer (every 6 weeks). So far we have been to Iaşi 4 times and Bacău twice. But we have also been to Bucureşti 4 times and Piteşti twice. We have logged almost 5500 km on the trains and maxitaxi's (big vans) between cities and we have only been here three months.
We have been very involved with the Young Single Adults (YSA) (ages 18-30) and we are also responsible for putting together a program for the Single Adults (SA) (ages 31-45) for the mission. We attended a YSA Conference last January in Pitesti, and been involved as a senior advisory couple in the reorganization of that program and beginning new "District" councils. Our district is the largest and is our three cities in northeast Romania plus two cities in Moldova, Chisinau and Orhei. The kids are just wonderful to work with.
On 15 March we took 6 of our Sora's to Iasi for the Relief Society Birthday Conference, hosted by the sisters there. One of the sisters that came with us is a long time investigator who is getting closer to baptism herself. It touched her deeply. It was amazing and faith building as the sisters talked about their conversions and baptisms. Sora Bryson was one of the speakers and talked, not about her conversion, but talked about how she had always been a missionary because sometime way back, someone had been a missionary to her ancestors and it brought her into the gospel.
We just had our first meeting with the new male and female mission representatives on 21 March in Pitesti to go over the plan to get their program up and running.
We began our Outreach program in Galati on 29 January and even though we only have two YSA in our branch we have had as many as 5 investigators there participating with us so far. We believe that there will be conversions and baptisms from this effort. We love these kids!!
We, like many other branches in the mission field, have several "less actives" and that is a focus we have in working through the members and with the missionaries. We have had some really incredible young men serving as missionaries in this beautiful city. They care so much for the members and investigators. They are on a quest to find the "elect" that God has prepared to receive the gospel of Jesus Christ. We are so glad to be playing a part. We got to sit in a "progressing investigator" lesson on Wednesday evening just before branch FHE. What a joy it is for us to be able to bear testimony to this wonderful young woman .
WOW!!! We Love This Work!!!
