Burrrrrrrnnnnnnnn.
After a week of gloomy ominous clouds and freezing temperatures, today was the first sunny day for us in Bulgaria. Perfect timing too, because after driving through mud, creeks, and ponds, me and David arrived at a field to do some farm work. When we were Mozambique, we plowed the dirt with hoes under the hot African sun. Here, under the warm sun and cold winds, we had access to this baby.
With the snow capped Balkan mountains in the distance, we shifted our gear into plow. Well for most of it, David did the plowing, while me and Nasko were busy plucking roses for defects.
With a well-trained eye, he was able to cut off stems that were showing signs of a parasite. If it looks like a stem has an abnormal bulge in the middle of it, you cut the shiz off. During our exploits he was able to tell me more about Bulgaria. That it’s a country that is struggling to ingrain itself into the Western world and overcome it’s Communist past. With our short time here, my prayer is that He uses us to bless this country and push it not into economic prosperity but its Creator. After a productive day of work, we were treated to a simple helping of Bulgarian sausage and wheat bread. And some palmiers that I bought.
