A Free Day and Fish

On Monday, we had a “free” day. Well, we had to be back for an evening meeting with the baptized believers and those who are preparing for baptism with the Apalina mission. We decided to go to the mountains for a mountain trout lunch.

The scenery along the way was beautiful - the sheep grazing in the field and the mountains. Adel and Attila had celebrated their anniversary with dinner at this “mountain trout” resort. We enjoyed a delicious meal of mountain trout. All but one of the ponds and lakes at the fishing place were frozen over. During the spring, summer, and fall, you can come here and fish for mountain trout. We had a great time there. Amazing to me was that all of the cars but ours, I think, were from Hungary.

On the way back, Adel saw some trees that had flowers she really likes. We stopped and got some to make arrangements for the house and churches. I cannot remember the name of the trees — we have them in the U.S. and I have seen the branches with the opening buds in arrangements.

At night, we met with the Apalina believers to talk about how to respect each other and how to love our neighbors in specific ways. This was a great time of teaching and discussion.
