Language Test Friday

A page from our Romanian language textbook.

This Friday is our Romanian language test, so we are studying hard this week.  It will be the end of the second module of language classes we are taking in Cluj, about an hour's drive from our home.  Holding a conversation is still beyond us, but we are understanding much more of what is being said and we can give appropriate greetings and express simple things.  Hopefully, our test on Friday will show that we have indeed made progress.
Since, Lord willing, we will be in Romania for only a couple of years, fluency in the language is not our goal, although we would like to be able to communicate on a basic level.  Our current plan is to continue our studies here in Gherla with the help of our Romanian friends through conversation and self-study.
Please pray for us that we will be guided by the Holy Spirit not only in our decisions concerning language study, but especially in His plans for our time here.  It is evident that God is working and we want to stay in step with Him.
