I had my first trip to Jess host site (Bardar) last weekend. I asked my host mother is I could take a flower from the garden to Jess' host mother, when I came back from class my host mother Maria had prepared two large buquets, one for Jess and one for her host mom. Unfortunately I didn't know that it is customary to carry flowerstop down in Moldova until you present them, otherwise you may be mistaken for a man going to propose.


Here are some pics of our first true time together since we arrived. It had been a long three weeks and we finally had a chance to walk the vinyards surrounding Bardar, to talk and pray together.
