Happy Romanian National Day!

Hi Everyone!

Today, Dec 1, is the 96th anniversary of the uniting of the Romanian countries in 1918. Before that, Transilvania, Tara Romaneasca, and Moldova (the Romanian region Moldova, not the country next to it) were all separate, though they spoke the same language. We caught a bit of the parade this morning, from the top of the city wall, so the view was perfect, but the wind ridiculously cold. My face was numb before long, but it was cool.




And our thanksgiving activity turned out amazing! We had 30 people!!! And we had enough food too! We only had two 4 kilo turkeys, and we thought that we wouldn't have enough, but we had a loaves and fishes experience, and it all worked out perfectly, with leftovers and everything. And we had plenty of other food that everyone else had brought. It was really fun. 17 nonmembers (not including kids) were there, and two less active members as well.

And Elder D and I had three investigators at church on Sunday, all of which have the same name. It's a little confusing. There is the one we have been working with since the summer. Then the landlord of a less active member, and they both came to church yesterday. And another is our new investigator from a couple weeks ago, and he is progressing slowly. He has a lot of questions and understands very very slowly, but he is sincere.

It's been going great. November was a very good month, and I have been teaching more lessons than ever. Sibiu is a good place right now.

Thanks for reading!

Elder Lybbert
