Vedy Good Ideeeea!

11/25/10

Today, we went straight to the Pucioasa church, had a quick devotional led by Giles and ate breakfast. Before we left, the neighbor of the church was cutting his tree and "donated" and very large branch covered in fresh cherries. As we picked them off, we figured a better method was to just shake it. So, Daimien and Hunter shook and shook the tree and we barely got any off. Unsuccessful. Then, we were off to go visit the church in Fieni! It was so good to see Marian, Florin, Mariana, and Simona again. Resvan has grown so much, it's not even funny. We thought he was a different kid. Their church second and third story is coming together so quickly. They also added a ping pong table which was a huge hit with us Americans. The Britton family definitely dominated. On our way back to Pucioasa, a train was coming so the blocked the railroad like normal. So we waited for the train. and waited. and waited. Cars started cutting around and then finally, the smallest train of mankind came by and left in a second. We got a little frustrated with their railroad system. Once we got back to the church in Pucioasa, it was Extreme Makeover; Church Edition. There was shoveling, sweeping, mowing, and organizing. Oh, and ask us about our new dance move; the pebble shover (: 6 year old Alexia is slowly learning English and going around to all of us, saying "Vedy good ideeea! Vedy good ideeea!" As we were working, Daimien got cut with a metal fence rebarb and we all started freaking out, thinking he needed to get a tetanus shot. But the doctor said it wouldn't be necessary and he was fine. We had about an hour of relaxation at the hotel and then we had a youth event at the Hotel Marina Cafe. We sang songs, having Stuart on trumpet, Sue on guitar, and Lindsey on flute, and heard Daimien's and Emily's testimony. Stuart, Alex, and Nicu gave short lessons. Then, it was dinner time. The Romanians like to add ketchup as a topping of their pizzas, which we don't quite understand. And now, Emily, Katie, Holly, Tiffany, and I are just lounging around talking about Romanian Hotel/Clubs and food. Tomorrow, we go to Sinai!
