Goodbyes and Packing

It’s already over.  🙁   We overcame jet lag, adjusted to light switches, woke up to a huge grass hopper over my bed, learned at lunch not to fill up on the soup because there’s more coming and so many more stories that are waiting to be told!

Right now all of us are back to the house packing and spending the last moments left with our translators and hosts. Earlier today was the hardest part of the trip, we had to say goodbye to the kids at VBS and what was even harder was saying bye to the youth staying at the camp we’ve had VBS at. Those were the ones, about twelve of them, who we really got to hang out with and know this week.  They’ve opened up so much to some of us and it’s hard leaving knowing what they’ve gone through and going through now.  Please continue to pray for these young adults even as we come home. Pray that they will accept Christs gift of forgiveness, some feel they don’t deserve it because their parents have left them. Pray that they will find and put their hope in Christ, for we know that in hard times, even when it seems as if the whole world is against us, we have that hope in Him… these kids don’t have that but are seeking affection from someone, pray that they will seek the love of the Father who is perfect and will never let them down.

Can’t wait to share more when we get home but now it’s back to packing.

We’re Here!

It’s Cori Beth! After three flights, four air ports and a six hour bus ride we’re finally here!  🙂

I always wondered what people meant by jet lag and now…I understand…I’m about ready to go to bed now and it’s not even five o’clock in the US!

We had ice at lunch today! That was a treat! So far the potatoes are my favorite food, very good with sour cream and this salt that’s kinda like sea salt and served on a saucer.  Don’t fill up on soup…good fact to remember, they have more than one course for lunch here…

So far we haven’t had the opportunity to share the full gospel but we have gotten to know several youth who will be helping us out with VBS. They understand a little bit of English…we understand no Romanian…trying to converse can be a little frustrating but it’s pretty neat talking with what little English they know then using the translators.

Well it’s about mid night here so I’m off to bed soon hopefully and the real fun begins tomorrow! Please keep us in your prayers!

As they say in Romania, Chow. (spelling?)
