It's month 4, and I am in a new country, new continent, and new team. I am now on Team Cypress with 5 other amazing women, spending our first month together in Romania.
Ministry: This month, Team Cypress spends 4 days per week in Gypsy villages, playing with the children, teaching adults about Jesus, and going door-to-door to pray and sing worship with families. We also bring the families shoes and clothes that are donated to our contact. The other 2 days per week we spend time at the university, talking to students about faith. And of course, we have 1 day off for rest and exploring.

Accommodations: We are very blessed this month, and have been given a house to live in. We live in a small village called Stejerish, just outside of a big city called Targu Mures. City bus is our main mode of transportation, and the drivers are absolutely crazy. Every road is an autobahn here!

Food: We cook our own food this month, and most of our team has similar eating preferences (except vegetarian me, but my team is happy to accommodate). Most of our groceries are bought in the city, but bread, potatoes, tomatoes, and other veggies can be bought from a house in our village, and are fresh every day.
That covers all the basics. If you have any questions, leave them in the comments section and I'll reply as soon as I can.
