New Baby

Our Branch President's wife had a baby girl this week.  Her name is Amina and she is so cute and healthy.  It is their first baby and they are so excited.  We went to see her with the missionaries and gave her a present.  It made us miss our grandkids!




We had transfers this week and two of our missionaries are leaving for other cities in Romania. We will miss Elder McAllister and Sister Merrill very much. For their last p-day, we all went to the Rasnov Castle.

We rode a little trolley pulled by a tractor up to the castle.


This guy was saying rude things about the church and the missionaries.  We get some of that occasionally here. The young missionaries have to deal with it more than the Seniors do.


We had a great time at the castle.  Here are some pictures.





Elder Powell posed by this cannon that we thought was interesting and later realized it was a garbage can.


The guys had a competition of axe throwing.  It was harder than it looked.  They all got at least one to stick.



We rode the trolley back down the mountain and this older man asked where we were from and sang us a song about America.  We love our country.

  1. Cute Baby! Looks like another good week! Love that Glade posed by a garbage can. It does look like a cannon! Loved the videos too. I love that Mom reminded Glade that he did break his wrist not long ago!
