Well. Saturday I landed in Bucharest, Romania at 5:30 and I had a 7 hour car ride to a little town outside of Isai, (pronounce yash) called Cotu Morii. There I was greeted by Livia and Gabi, two girls from the church to help me settle in. I was tired.. so there wasnt much settling :)
Then we woke up for church. The services are a little different here in the small villages then in America. The service was about 3.5 hours.. the men and women sat on separate sides of the church. Of course I didn't understand any of it! But then we had a nice relaxing afternoon.
On Monday morning we left for camp in a really nice mountainous area. It was about a 3 hour drive from where I'm staying. The first day everyone kind of looked at me like I had 3 heads, but then by Tuesday some of the youth who had some English started to talk! It was nice!! They warmed up to me and we played games. I taught them how to play Spoons. Now if you know how Spoons go.. it gets a little violent and crazy... and they were no different!! Jumping across tables and grabbing from each other.. haha. I was able to meet the team of workers here in Romania and start to get to know the people I will work with. I also learned a little bit more about what I will be doing here and about some of the ministries that they do here.
I will update again soon with pictures!! I don't have internet where I am staying but I have access nearby!! Thanks for your prayers!!!
