We went to Alexandria for church today. It is about an hour drive from Bucharest. There was a brand new member that was baptized the previous day and confirmed today in fast and testimony meeting. President Lundberg and I both shared our testimonies, as did most the members of the branch. I then went into the youth meeting with Joshua and three other youth and taught a lesson. Elder Horgmo translated.
Alexandria branch congregation!
This is the building where church is held in Alexandria. It was a beautiful home. It was taken over by the communists during their reign. Government leaders lived here then. However, after the fall of communism, it was given back to the owner. The church rents the building now.
We enjoyed a lovely dinner at the Matei home. President Matei is the branch president, and his wife, Anca, is a dentist. Her office is set up in the living room of their home. It's a great situation.
The food was traditional Romanian and very good. It is always so fun to get to know the members! There are some wonderful people here!

Sister Lundberg, WOW! I am so glad that we were able to see each other at President Hinckley's viewing. That seems just like yesterday, now as I look at your blog I realize how fast time is going. I am so proud of you and President Lundberg for serving. Thank you.
