Hi everyone! I’m sacrificing a volleyball game to post this but I promised some of my Romanian friends that I would post their picture on my blog before Monday. These girls are from a high school in Marghita where we spent an awesome four days.
Okay, that’s all the pictures for now, they take a while to download and I can’t figure out how to make them any smaller (half the commands are in Romanian). Today was awesome! We had breakfast, visited two different Mayors and took about 15 Romanian friends to the mountains with us where we had an incredible lunch and then went skiing and had a snowball fight (I got R.J. really good 
). I have been a little sick and had to rest yesterday afternoon but I’m feeling better today (if wearing wet clothes in the snow doesn’t set me back). The weather has been good, the conversations and friendships made have all been totally worth it. The Romanian food and hospitality are incredible – we are constantly amazed and overwhelmed. I thank God for the fact that we are here and I look forward to each new day and the things it will bring, even though it means we are one day closer to leaving.

Time for a blog entry! I’ve done several email updates (sorry to those who don’t get them) but now my xanga gets a turn. I would put up pictures but I don’t have my card reader – hopefully tomorrow. We’re in a new town at a new school that has lots of internet access and they told us we get two hours each day until Saturday. Of course, nothing on this trip is a sure thing, we never know from one day to the next how things will be. Our motto is “come along and see!”
Now we have to go – I think we’re going to go see some mountain where it has clear air and spring water that will make your dreams come true 
Sweet dreams!

Well folks, this is it for a while. Bright and early tomorrow
morning Stacie and I are headed out for Romania! Leaving the our own
local airport around seven, we should arrive at our final destination
by noon the next day. Our route will take us through Dallas, Detroit,
Amsterdam, Hungary and finally Romania. While there we are going to meet
with officials from different cities, work in some public schools and
children’s hospitals, and mix with the gypsies a little. Of course,
we’ve all been told to include flexibility on our packing list because
all of these activities are subject to change.
Stacie will turn 21 en route and we’re hoping to get the
stewardess to sing happy birthday in their native tongue. We ask for
prayer for our flight to Detroit because we hope to have some
witnessing opportunities. We also ask for prayer during our trip, we
will be under scrutiny as ambassadors for Christ, the U.S., IBLP, and
the products of “character training.”
I love you all and should update with pictures upon my return.
For now, I’m going to celebrate all the long hours I will spend sitting
in a plane by doing a practice run for the triathlon – 9 mile bike, 3
mile run, 500 meter swim! Ciao!
