Trip to Bacău

After a day of recovery, we went with the office missionaries to get Paul's residence visa. Unfortunately, I woke up with a migraine. I know because I can't comprehend anything I read. The pain doesn't really happen until the next day. We were asked to take a group of district members to a conference in Bacău which was a 4-hour drive away. In order to get there at the right time, we drove to the Mihai Bravu building at 10am. Paul drove the whole time and we chatted about all sorts of things. We stayed at the Fiald Hotel which has a gym and pool. 

Unfortunately we didn't know that so we didn't bring any accoutrements. We stopped by a kebab restaurant in a local mall and then went thrifting. Humana has thrift stores everywhere and this one was particularly good. I found 6 sweaters and Paul found a big overcoat. Price: $21. Score!

The black one in the middle has cream block sleeve ends. I love wool sweaters. Later we stopped by the Selgros because it was next to the hotel. We walked around looking for corn syrup and laundry softener. The next morning we left for church.

We have some rented property next to some retail shops. It was a little bigger than the location in Shushufindi. Speaking of that, we saw pictures on facebook of their new rental space there in the Amazon. I'm so excited for them!

Sisters Pack and Baril sang the most beautiful song during Branch Conference. The room was very full and had members from Galati and Iași (pronounced yash--rhymes with Bosch). I looked down at my watch and saw the following heart rate data:

I am feeling good now! 

We enjoyed watching the children in primary and met a visitor from the US. He is on a book tour to sell his book about Romania's Holy War during WWII. Grant served a mission here a few years ago before joining the military. This is more of a textbook.

President Fowler is the master of selfies. We can rely on him to capture these moments.

Well, the ride home took 6 hours in the rain. We dropped off our passengers and arrived home after 8pm. We touched up a PowerPoint presentation for Monday morning and hit the sack.
