For those of you who do not know about my current living situation, let me tell you it is so different than any other living situation I ahve been in before. I live with one other guy and eleven girls. So to say the least when we found out that there will be a man day we were PUMPED!!!!! All we were told is that we would be working in the field, so it sounded like it was going to be a rough day, little did we know it was goign to result in one of the funnest days!
The morning began with a simlpe a bus ride, which we had to laeve an hour earlier for than normal, so we had no clue what the day was going to hold gettin up that early. But as soon as we got off the bus our "limo" arrived, thats right we got a ride in a hourse and buggie, which has been a goal of mine sense ariving here in Draganisti. Then we went to the fields and harvested corn, despite sounding not fun it was an amazing time of laughing and working alongside the nationals here. It was an amazing opportunity to bless the people because we were working fro a woman whose husband has become parallized so they are not able to harvest their corn, so we had the awesome opportunity to bless them.
Then came time for lunch which was an awkward experience just cause of how much they served us when we are here to serve them. They made us a traditional Romanian meal, that I can only describe as a brat. And just kept serving us more and more, it was crazy.
After unloading all of the corn we went and ran a children program in a local Roma Village. It was a huge blessing to get to pray with them and teach them some Bible stories. The best part of this was playing street soccer with all the kids and watching them get super into it and cream us.
At this point we thought the day was over, but we got the awesome opportunity to make some house visits with the nationals. They took us to a couple people who where new to the Church for us to check in and pray with them.
Finally they said that we were done for the day and that we would head back, which ment that we got to hand out initations for the openning Church service. This was so much fun bringing light to them and inviting them to our Church.
Today had huge lessons for me: 1st: I have to get ride of my pride and allow people to serve me, cause they want to bless me. 2nd: I have to have no fear in praying for people cause God may have great things for them that he wants you to usser into their lives. 3rd and finally is this idea that in America I could have done this work for what 150 bucks for the day which I would spend on something that would eventually die, but I got to work for the kingdom of God and the payment will be eternal, so I encourage you to maintian a kingdom persepective as you go throughout your day!
