Today is our 35th wedding anniversary and we decided to celebrate in two ways. First we asked a new member of our branch who is an artist to paint us a picture of the Romanian countryside. He was pleased that we asked him and we were pleased with the picture
The farmers field is growing beans and I love the red poppies. It looks nice in our apartment.

We spent some time passing out english flyers for our next session starting this week. Teaching English for free is a great way to meet people and we always have a spiritual message after each class. Of course we teach the advanced english because we don't speak Romanian. Did I mention that they drive their cars and park their cars on the sidewalk. I don't think I will ever get used to this.
Everyday this week, either the power or the water went off for a couple of hours. Have you ever put your makeup on with a flashlight?
This is a pretty church we walk past. Iasi is the city of 100 churches, unfortunately they are all orthodox or catholic but we keep trying. The gospel must be preached to all the world.
Happy Anniversary!!! 35 years! It sounded like you had a wonderful day. The painting is gorgeous. What a special piece that you can cherish always. Lov'n the cachula mom, it makes you look taller. I like it :)
