First Weekend in Romania

We had a great first weekend in Romania.  Friday afternoon we arrived and were greeted by our friends Simi and Gabi and their son. They showed us the apartment across from the church that they had found for us and helped us unpack our car.  The apartment is a modern, one-bedroom, third-floor apartment with an American-sized refrigerator in a tiny kitchen.  We are directly above a gym, so we hear some noise from them during the day and early evening, but it is working out great for us.

Saturday we settled in, went grocery shopping and prepared for Sunday.  Grocery shopping reminded us of shopping for the first time in Hungary.  Some things were familiar, but we had to guess on a few items.  Mike successfully found sour cream even though it looked like the yogurt next to it.

Sunday we enjoyed the presence of the Lord, beautiful worship, an encouraging sermon by Mike with the interpretation by Relu, and the joy of being with our Romanian brothers and sisters.  After service we met with the church board to outline our plans for the coming month.

We are looking forward to a wonderful time here in Gherla this month.  Please pray with us for God to work through us for the building up of the church and the leaders here.
