Off again to home...

We're off this morning at 8:40am...Friday morning. We'll be going back to Budapest to debrief this week & pray about what God has for us next either at home or abroad. Please keep us in prayer as we have a 4 hour drive today & then flights home tomorrow (Sandy, Jon & Tyler). Janelle, Tiffany & I are going to also need prayer for safety & wisdom (and also a sense of adventure) as we stay an extra week in Switzerland just for fun. It's much needed for all three of us.

When I get back, you'll all get a full report of what we did & how God worked through us! If any of you would like to get it in person over coffee, just call or email! I'd be happy to meet up with you!

Half Way Through

Buna Ziua! (Boonuh Zeewah!)

We are now in Cornesti, which is just outside of Timisoara. We spent the last few days in Sistarovat, at the camp at the foot of the mountains. We had a CRAZY day with orphanage kids on Saturday, and spent a lot of time getting to know the other camp counselors who'd been there for a few weeks already. Some of the orphans had already met the counselors, so it was easy to talk with them.

The road to get to the camp was as bumpy as riding a horse....our bottoms hardly touched the seats all the way up. Ha. Anyway, now we're here at the Care Home in Cornesti....and they paved the ROAD! Praise God.

Last night my brother Tyler & I went to see his biological family. It was so touching. His sister Daniella is back from Spain, and it was SO good to see her, as we haven't seen her since 2002. She speaks a bit of Spanish now, so we could talk with her a bit more too without the need of an interpreter...although I wished I could have brushed up on my Spanish earlier.

Tomorrow we will have a day camp for the elderly & then Thursday a day camp for the village children. The kids at the care home now are greatly troubled children, and have been so abused....pray for them & their mothers.

Also, please pray for the missionaries here, as a few have been having some serious health issues & need healing.

This is all for now. Until later, Bless you!

WE're heading out! Tiffany, I and Tyler are sittingin the terminal, and they've just started boarding. Please pray for us as we head out. Janelle's flight was delayed from LA...apparently we'll be holding the flight until she arrives. Pray all of our connections meet us when we get to Budapest & that we will all be safe traveling. Plray for clarity of mind & purity in our hearts. We're all excited & nervous. Leave us comments & we'll try to update when we can. Bless you who have committed to praying for us...your prayers will be answered. God is good. Ceau!
