We have loved seeing many different things here in Romania that we never see in Utah. They make Romania very special and unique to us.
The wagons from the country can often be seen on the country roads. They have recently been banned from coming into the bigger cities. However, we still see them carrying hay, produce, and people.
On our first zone conference trip, we had to travel many hours in the car on long drives. We noticed at the top of poles a very unique sight. There were big cranes sitting in nests the size of washtubs. Joshua started to count them and saw 37 such extraordinary sights.
Postcard perfect! I love to see the sunflowers when they are all in bloom. There are many rolling hills covered in such beautiful splendor. The people grow a lot of sunflowers to make oil from the sunflower seeds.
Old aircrafts by the side of the road!
"Stop Dorel, Toaleta. Our family will appreciate this one from our first trip to Romania. It was the only phrase we could communicate with our van driver! Where was this outhouse then?

I miss the sunflower fields:)
Oooh homesick, homesick! Radu and I counted many of those interesting crane nests on our way to Italy too. They seem so unlikely. The wagons on the busy highway were my first culture shock upon arriving in Romania. I long to see those sunflower fields...
Thank you for continuing Sora Ashby's tradition. We served under the Ashby's and loved to see the people we knew on their blog. Now we can continue to keep up on the great people in Romania and the great new happenings in the mission.
Forgot to mention - we were in Tooele today and met one of your future missionaries - Sora Kimball. We are going into the MTC tomorrow on our way to Iceland and she is going into the MTC Wednesday on here way to Romania. You should be very pleased to have her in your mission.
