Beautiful Brasov

Hi Everyone!
I made it to Braşov! It is an incredible city. SO beautiful. The city is actually wrapped around a mountain, and it is super green here. And, our apartment is right next to the old city center, with the big old church and main square and all the coolest parts of town right down the street.
Transfers was a little rough since it was pouring rain Wednesday night and I got soaked while pulling my already damaged suitcases through flooded streets, but it is all worth it now.
The district is great too. Elder B and Elder H are really cool, laid back and content, but hard workers too. And Sora R is really fun, and incredibly successful as a missionary. The sisters now have 6 investigators with baptismal dates. Sora H is our brand new sister, from Tasmania! She is adjusting great for her first week! It's not easy, but she is doing really well.
Elder B and I only have a couple potential investigators to work with at the moment, but we had the chance to go with the sisters to one of their lessons on Saturday. An older lady was baptized just last week (and confirmed yesterday), and now her four grandsons have a baptismal date, and the sisters are teaching them. They wanted the boys to have some male role-models, so we will come to the lessons now and then. They are aged 8, 9, 10, and 12, and are awesome kids.
And I got to meet the branch on Sunday! It isn't quite as big as the branch in Cluj, more around the size Constanta was. We had 25 people at sacrament meeting. The members are really nice, and I am excited to get to know them. And we had a confirmation, and it was amazing. The spirit was really strong, and it was just such a happy experience. Great things are happening in Brasov.
We have a lot of errands and just random stuff to do today so I don't have too much time.
I've attached a couple pictures of what I see when I walk out the door every morning. It's great.
Thanks for reading!
Elder Lybbert
