Romania

We had an incredible day of worship, prayer, & testamonies. Then we gave out 230 eye glasses and it was incredible. I'm looking forward to getting out to the villages. I made lots of new friends here. The people are such a joy! Kind and loving. Openly welcoming. Precious. Then we went to evening services and heard more music and testamonies & preaching. Incredible. Did I mention their singing? WOW--can they sing. I tried to video some of it but it won't even remotely do them justice.

We had lunch with a young family. Their names are Nick and Anka and they have a little boy named Benjamen. He's about 1 year old. He has beautiful blue eyes and a good disposition. Lunch was really nice. We had soup (chicken noodle) and chicken baked on top of potato wedges and veggies. It tasted awesome. They call their desert "cookies"... but it was more like a cupcake type of thing, cut in half' with whipped cream in the middle and a little bit of strawberry sauce on top. All Yummy! They live in a very small apartment.. they have a bathroom, a kitchen, a SMALL bedroom that the baby is in' as well as Nick's office, and the living room that doubles as a the master bathroom. The place was SPOTLESS! Lovely. I just loved Anka. She has such a sweet spirit.

Finally, we went to dinner at a medieval restaurant. I had something that looked a bit like pork, almost pate like... I made the unfortunate mistake of asking what it was. My mouth dropped and I started laughing hysterically at my own response. It was pig brain! Just shoot me NOW.
I got some pictures of the town square... there were some wild looking people there... they were gypsies. They did not appear friendly and I was glad that Polly had Jack escort me to get pictures.

I've fallen in love with these people। I can't even begin to describle them to you on email। Jon, Marios, Tanya (love, love, love her!), Mia all helped with interpreting। Daniel-the pastor is passionate for Christ. His wife Murray is sweet and kind. She had a look of concern in her eyes this evening and I couldn't help but wonder if it had anything to do with the fact that Daniel has kidney failure and is on dialisis. Their daughter Ruth and I have much in common--esp. music tastes. I could go on and on... but I won't.

Anyway, tomorrow is a new day and unfortunately I've got to go to bed. I'll look forward to hearing from you tomorrow.

Love

PS. Remind me to tell you about a dream I recently had... Jesus was coming back...
