Dear Families,
I wanted to let you know that your missionaries have safely arrived in Bucharest. Fortunately, all their luggage arrived as well. They were a little tired, but they seemed very excited to finally be in Romania.
The missionaries spent their first night with temporary companions---most experiencing travel by metro (subway) or bus. Some had their first taste of missionary work. Early Wednesday morning, they all reconvened with President Lundberg and me at a beautiful park in Bucharest. We shared with them the dedicatory prayer that was offered by Elder Russell M. Nelson in 1990, dedicating the land of Romania for missionary work. We then went to the mission home where the missionaries received a mission orientation, had an interview with President Lundberg, and ate lunch together. Afterwards, we all went to the transfer meeting, which the entire mission attended. Your son or daughter received their first companion that they will have for the next six weeks. They all stayed in Bucharest one more day to work on getting their extended visas and then headed to their assigned city somewhere in Romania or Moldova.
We were thrilled with this group of missionaries. Thank for for sharing them with us for this next season of their lives. They will grow to love this mission and the people here. Look for an email from them on Monday, their preparation day.
Sincerely,
Sora Lundberg
