The Arad Branch celebrated "Saint Mary's Day" with a picnic in the woods.
"Mici" is the main food item of almost every Romanian activity. It is a mixture of ground beef and pork. The ground meat is rolled into the shape of a tube and grilled. If it isn't pink on the inside it is overcooked...... Then served with ketchup and mustard and lots of bread.
Soras Birau and Sebestyen working the grill.
We also had grilled pork chops. Eni is learning the art of "tenderizing" before grilling, though it looked like she was just beating it to death.
And, of course, there were vegetables. I didn't have the heart to tell them how I feel about vegetables that are really fungus! There was also one egg plant sliced and grilled.
The YSA was in charge of games while the food was cooking. Eni found some "minute to win it" games that were very entertaining. Elder Harrison is trying to keep the watermelon upright without getting stabbed by the Uno cards coming at him.
When it became evident that Uno cards weren't going to work, we tried CDs. Those senior missionary language training CDs finally came in handy!
Then they tried to stack soda cans on a paper plate in a bowl of water.
Can he do it?
Nope! But good try.
And we learned a new game - foot tennis. This is President Banatean giving it his best shot. However, the ball frequently hit the badmitten net they were kicking over, bringing it to the ground each time.
Then he went over to see why the meat was taking so long to cook.
Sora Cook with Sora Descy playing Remy with some of the children.
The dessert table with a roll of toilet paper for napkins. And that's all I have to say about that!
After we ate there was a spiritual thought by Ciprian, the Elder's Quorum President.
And then the missionaries with Edi, the Branch mission leader, entertained us.

It was a wonderful afternoon in the woods.
