Day 11-
June 23, 2015
Today
Jessica and I went with Swanna, Lumi, and Paul to Bahnea, a nearby village
where they work with a local church. The
men have been working hard to build a house for a gypsy family in Bahnea and a
church in a neighboring village. To
celebrate their hard work, they decided to have a gratar (grill/
cook-out). We were sweetly invited to
join!
Before we
could actually get to Bahnea, Swanna needed to run to TM to buy some more
fabric for her quilting group, and some meat for the grill. Jessica and I had fun running errands with
Swanna and getting all we needed for the day.
We finally
arrived in Bahnea around 2 pm I think. The men were all still off working, so
we hung out with the quilting group. One
of the ladies was making what they call a stain glass pattern. I loved it so much I said I would buy it! She
was close to being finished so I’m hoping it will be done by the end of the
week. But if not, I’m here for plenty of
time!
While
waiting for the men to arrive, we also started getting ready for the
grill. I helped peel potatoes and
Jessica helped roll the mici (a kind of log roll of ground beef and pork).
A few of
the men showed up to begin grilling.
Grilling in Romania is a little different than what I’m used to.
While we
waited for the food to be done, Paul took us to see the house that was being
built for a family who lived in a mud hut.
A part of their roof had collapsed awhile ago, so they were in need of a
new place to live. The men built the
house right next to the old one. Such a
difference!
Finally it
was time to eat! After the men prayed over the table, we all gathered around
and filled our plates! While I can’t say
it was my favorite meal, it was pretty good.
All in
all, a good day in Bahnea!!
Please be
in prayer that tomorrow goes well at Point of Hope!
