A Weekend Away...


The young adults from the mentor apartments along with their mentors went on a little outing this weekend! They have been working together to save money from their budgets so that they could do something fun all together! We left on Friday morning and headed towards the mountains... Upon arrival in Brasov, we found a little festival for "Brasov Days" going on... we took part in the celebration and enjoyed the beautiful day!



Later we arrived at our little cabin in the mountains and the men grilled out as the ladies prepared the other food inside. We had a great meal and time of games and fun together. On Saturday it was off on a big hike through the mountains and we even got snowed on a little! Later in the day we toured Bran Castle, which is always associated with Dracula, but apparently "Vlad Tepes" didn't actually live there.






On Sunday we went to The Castle Peles, where the King of Romania used to live and took a walk through Sibiu before heading back to Targu Mures. It was a great weekend of fun and fellowship... playing games and enjoying time away.


Thank you for your ongoing prayers for these young adults as they learn from their mentors and some work towards completing school while others are getting closer to independence and are working and starting to provide for themselves. It is a blessing to see our two oldest Kati & Ani working hard and making plans for their graduation from the program this summer... looking for apartments, saving money and getting ready to take that next step.
