My favorite gypsy child.  His laugh was adorably and look at his beautiful eyes — they are captivating. 
I really just want to take him home with me.  
 
 I almost cried as we prayed with the children to receive Jesus into their hearts and this little girl held her
hands out just like this for about 5 minutes, keeping her eyes closed and smiling the entire time. 
It was precious!
 
 
Every Thursday our team gets to go out and minister to the gypsies in their villages. 
We taught the children songs, performed a drama and Josh gave a message. 
After the message around 25 adults and children gave their lives to Jesus Christ.  

The typical form of transportation for the gypsies is either by horse and buggy or tractor. 

 

In this picture you get to see a typical Gypsy village along with both forms of transportation. 
 
Every house in the village has their own well. 
 
Most of the gypsy homes have a bathtub in their yard. 
A beautiful gypsy grandmother.  She is actually the grandmother of my favorite gypsy boy pictured above.  
This woman kissed us on the cheek as she invited us into her home and we enjoyed singing
worship songs in English and Pastor Zomba and his friend sang some worship songs in
Hungarian and Romanian. The town that we are in is about 50% Hungarian and 50% Romanian.  

This is Targu Mures, Romania –the town in which we are living this month.  It is beautiful and filled with many domed cathedrals, a castle, the cultural palace, and an old theater.  We have really enjoyed working at the YWAM base here doing street evangelism and working alongside the international house of prayer.  My favorite little spot in town so far is this place called the Dancing Sheva where they serve coffees, teas, and hot chocolate — my favorite is the Aztec Chilli Hot Chocolate.
