Work is getting interesting. I started out this morning with a good talk with Tom and then went to work. I began by moving 30 large sheet rock things from a truck into the house and then proceeded to take them all up a flight of stairs. After that, I finished painting the doors... I HOPE.... And helped with minor construction things. After a crazy strange but really really yummy lunch, I helped the kids with some random chores. When we were "gata", I went straight to the green houses to begin work there. I began by pulling grass out of the small apple trees..OK, FUN FACT FOR YOU. They literally have (what looks like) sticks planted in the ground (they are actually apple trees). They tie the wood from big fresh apple trees around the stick. And in the summer, the stick will grow quite large apples/ pears/ oranges/ anything you want depending on what bark you tie around the stick. IT IS SO STRANGE! So we pull up the grass from inside the pots that the sticks are in. Then we begin the task of tilling (I think that is what it is) all the dirt preparing for seeds to be planted blah blah blah yeah. =] But we dont have any fancy DIRT-TILLER AUTOMATIC 3000 from Home Depot. We have 3 shovels. =D Let me just tell you how fun that is..... its as fun as, "By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return." (Gen 3:19)
I am just glad I dont have to bear children. PASS.
I AM SORRY, I dont have pictures of us ice skating. However it is so much fun even though I am going around in the same small circle for several hours. I also did some improv rap and ate a "large amount" of ice cream and soda. So large in fact that everyone in the shop was looking at me and laughing. I'm from America son, dont you go messing with me and my sugar. =] Man, their portions here are SO SMALL. And the ice cream is quite inexpensive. But I cannot find a 1 liter of soda... anywhere! They have like 1/4th a liter or something dumb like that. =[ But the two liters will do i guess. And the sugar snacks are small and empty. You usually end up eating air with sprinkles on it. ='[ I really just want a tub of ice cream. XD But either way I had a great time with the group, Arne, Elisa, David, Lorena, Ionut (Jonny), Maria, and Roxanna. They are awesome and really funny. =]
This place is beginning to feel like a second home to me. I have grown very accustom to not being able to understand what people are saying all the time (at least they think I dont understand what they are saying) ;] I just am really starting to realize how much I am going to miss this place! Mostly the people though. They are all so awesome and I cant leave them! I cant hardly believe I left everyone in America either. But God's plan trumps mine, always. Maria told me that she is going to cry when I leave. :'] And I have only been here for a month now. Man, I even the people that I met from Arad I miss already. Is something wrong with me? XD
Please please keep praying for me! God is teaching me how to listen to Him. He has been continuing to answer my prayers directly, so I think I am doing something right! =]
I still remember the first day I arrived, way out of my league. Nothing could have been more frightening. Yet God has allowed me to fit in. I still have another month and a half. But I dont like counting down... I am just going to refuse to think about the fact that I have to .... WAIT. Not gonna think about it. =]
Imi este foame ba. Ceau! Vreu mancare acum!
