20 August 2018 - Week 72

This week was topped off with a branch picnic in the forest.  The main ingredient in a Romanian picnic is mici (meech).  Brent says it tastes like meatloaf.  Also we brought some of our soy sauce marinated curcan (turkey).  Bread, a salad, water and some treats are all you need.  We were pleasantly surprised to note the neat appearance of the forest this summer.  The Romanians seem to be making a great effort to beautify the outdoors near Arad.  Those branch members attending were: Jany, Ana, Carmella, Lily, Cornel, Ghiti, Marianna, Marianela, Denisa, Costi ( the cook ), Lidia, the missionaries Elder Olmstead and Elder Atkinson and Elder and Sister Andersen.  We enjoyed the day.
