President Hill and I were thrilled to meet Sister Bynum as she arrived in the Bucuresti airport with her MTC group. She seemed very happy finally to be in the mission field after her weeks in the MTC. She was surprisingly awake after her long flights. President Hill had an enjoyable interview with her, where he learned more about this young woman, and I got to spend some time with her too. We were both pleased with her ability and the ease with which she fit in. Thank you very much for sending her to us.
After
some time doing preliminaries for her visa, we all had dinner at the
mission home with her MTC group, after which, she was whisked away to
spend the night with the sister missionaries.
The
next morning, in the cold and snow, we met at Cismigiu Park where, in
1990, Elder Russell M. Nelson dedicated the land of Romania for teaching
the gospel. Together, we snapped a picture of the group. I'm attaching
the picture for you to see.
Then,
all the incoming missionaries continued their visa processing, after
which they worked hard to stay awake through our orientation meeting and
then met their first companions. Sister Bynum is
now with her initial companion, Sister Case, in Chisinau, the capital
city of Moldova. Sister Case is an excellent missionary and Sister
Bynum will learn "Moldovan" there, which is really just Romanian with an
accent. She will probably pick up a little Russian too! Sister Case
will give her an excellent start.
Thanks
again for sending us such a wonderful young missionary. We could tell
she will be a very good, faithful, hard-working missionary.
With much appreciation,
Sister Hill
