1. boboc (means "baby duck" in Romanian) - new missionary
2. nas (put a little squiggly thing under the s and pronounce it like nosh. It means godfather in Romanian) - These are the missionaries that take the new missionaries home for their first night in Buc.
3. Sheriff - this is the missionary that guards all the luggage at the gara (train station) on transfer day.
4. white wash - when both missionaries in an area are changed on the same day.
5. to die - when a missionary goes home on his last transfer, he is "dying."
6. All missionary time is measured in transfers, which is 6 weeks.
Wednesday we receive a whole new batch of missionaries from the MTC. Which means a lot of missionaries will be going home. Brent and I fixed breakfast for our district to reward them for a job well done on their apartment inspections and to say goodbye to the two Elders in our district who are "dying".
I have relearned how to make hotcakes from scratch and syrup with maple flavoring.

Almost!
Good effort!

We will miss Elder's Betteridge and Layton.
Street Singing
The two Buc zones stood outside a buzy downtown metro stop and sang hymns for about an hour Saturday evening. President and Sora Hill joined us. Brent had to spritz me with a spray bottle every few minutes but I made it! Lots of people stopped, listened and accepted pamphlets about the Church. It was a great experience but I'll be okay if we don't do it again until Fall!
Thanks for a fun post. Some of those missionary terms must be universal because I recognize a few from Elder Christof's letters from France. The word for train station is also similar to the French "gare". Maybe you should write to him in Romanian and see what he can understand. :)
