March Madness---in the mission field!

March was a very busy month for the mission. Joshua and I were able to take the sleeper train to Timişoara on Friday night where we were picked up early the next morning by President Lundberg and taken to Arad for a zone conference. The missionaries were all in good spirits and it was great to be with them.

Sora Shephard and Sora Richards, great companions!

Nils Berguson visits with Elder Platt. Nils and his wife, Emily, are Peace Corps volunteers living in Braila. Nils and Emily went to every zone conference this round, presenting plans for our new English program. English classes are one of our greatest missionary finding tools. Nils and Emily have been instrumental in working with our assistants to put together a book that our mission will use for the English classes. Many good ideas and changes will help make this program more uniform throughout the mission. Also, a lot of time will be saved as the missionaries follow the guidelines in the book.
