We feel like real missionaries now!

We have holes in our socks, and we've been transferred.

Our mission call was to the Center for Young Adults in Bucuresti.  However, all missionaries know that their assignment can be changed at any time.  So when President Hill asked us to move to Arad which is a city on the western side of Romania just a few miles from the Hungarian border, we were happy to go.  Our assignment here will be working with the young adults and traveling to the branches in the Oradea district giving support and training.

Let's just say we were moving with more than we arrived with.

Thanks to Elder Newey and Elder Pettit, our Zone Leaders, we were able to load in record time.

And "Big Blue" the beloved mission van was up to the task of hauling us and our belongings to Arad.

This is the entrance to our bloc.  Our last apartment was on the 8th floor and this one is on the ground floor of a 4 story bloc.  And here is the view out of our bedroom window.

Just a little different than the view out of our Buc apartment where we could see over the city to the horizon.  I just won't look out the window much.

Elder Wahlquist is pleased to have a vehicle that is small like his mini at home.  We even have a parking spot that isn't on the sidewalk.



We invited the missionaries over for breakfast and to watch a session of general conference.  They wanted to fix the pancakes and bacon.  Elder Nilsson is manning the smoke alarm while Elder Myers fries up the bacon.  Sora Henrie and Sora Schuld are on pancake duty.

We are looking forward to whatever this new adventure brings.
