I taught for the first time today in Relief Society. I said probably a total of about seven minutes worth of my lesson and the women talked the rest of the time. Well two women did ha ha ha. I taught about family togetherness time and how important it is. It was really different teaching that lesson to Romanians. The way of life and how they view things is so different. So different from the Utah version of the gospel. But I really like the challenge of creating the lesson for these sisters specifically. It makes things a challenge and it forces me to get to know the culture and the women of this branch better. I could never just go up and teach how I would back home. The women that way would either be offended or would learn nothing from the lesson.
Elder Loveland translated Sunday school for us today. He is a pretty funny guy. He has been out for about seven months so he is definitely still getting used to the language so it was funny to see him sort of take a round a about way of telling us what they had said. He was such a nice guy for translating for us!
We attempted to make hamburgers tonight for dinner. Something went wrong with the meat and for some reason the hamburger would not stick together. We ended up making sloppy joe hamburgers. Ha cooking in Romania is so funny. First of all the timing is always off. Like cooking rice for instance. We only have the non instant variety so normally in the US it would take about 20-30 min, here is takes 5. We just cooked jiffey muffins that we brought from home and they took five min as well. It is going to be hard to get used to going back to our slow cooking methods in the States.
