One Easter tradition here is the making of floral wreaths to adorn the gates of village homes. On the Monday after Easter, Hungarian boys will visit the homes of girls and recite poems while sprinkling the girls with perfume. They'll also deliver handmade floral wreaths. In return, the girls give the boys decorated Easter eggs. It's a colorful tradition! Here are some beautiful Easter wreaths that we found on the gates of homes in Gornesti!
This week, we've got some special visitors in town! Paul's parents are here, along with two of their friends. Paul's dad is doing some construction work on the church in Apalina and in our apartment, and Paul's mom is teaching some classes on parenting! The other ladies are also teaching some classes for women regarding post-abortive issues, anger and forgiveness. We're so thankful to have them here serving us and serving the people in our area. We'll share some more pictures next week, but here's a taste of what we've done so far!
