O.K. I know, I know, I said I would do an update daily well, I guess that's not going to work. We did try to update a couple of nights ago. Ruth had it all written out and then we lost our internet connection and everything she had written. We were way too tired to rewrite so here we are today trying again. A lot has happened since our last entry, we decided it might be best to break up everything we need to say into individual topics so we won't have such a great big long one. We'll try to [View Full Entry]

As I write this, we are somewhere in Romania but we're not actually sure where. We left our homes Tues. morning around 9:30 a.m. and arrived at our first night's lodging Wed. afternoon around 3:00 which is about 1:30 a.m. local time. Don't ask what day cause right now I'm not sure what day it is. I do know that it is about 8:00 a.m. now and 10:00 p.m. home time. We feel much better now with a little bit of sleep. Our sentences make more sense now and we are not quite so quick to laugh at things that really [View Full Entry]

Wow, we have heard back from so many people. Thanks to so many of you for your encouragement and prayers! As I was working on a Bible Study this week, I ran across an old familiar verse.

May this be true of us especially as we travel [View Full Entry]

I Peter 4:11 If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory and the power forever and ever, Amen. James 1:27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.

So, you're probably wondering whatever made us decide to fly all the way across the world to Romania. Well, I'm sure there are going to be many times when we will repeat that question ourselves, but here is the general story. Earlier this year, my niece was inspired by someone in her church to do some mission work in Romania. Of course, she desired to have someone she knew well to go along with her and she, therefore, decided to talk my daughter into going along. As the plans progressed, we realized that the timing was not going to work out [View Full Entry]
