So. at my house in Viile Techii, I have three crazy hyper gypsy brothers: Danny, Leisi, and Benny. They are constantly begging to play soccer, reeshka (a game where you use one stick to hit another) and tickle fight. We are always playing and learning romanian. Romanian is harder than I thought, but I am slowly catching on. I love those boys and tease them and fight with them like real brothers (I miss you TJ).
The orphanage was the most amazing place. We played and loved on the kids for hours. We had dance parties and gymnastic contests and soccer games and colored. We sat in the room and colored and taught each other Romaneshday and English. Laughing and walking around town, these kids are amazing. They kissed and hugged us so much and we are starving for love.
Sanda is the most beautiful woman and she doesn’t know it. She is like my sister. Her and I have spent many afternoons cooking and cleaning and talking. She has a husband and a little boy named David and she is my age. Crazy. It has been a great ministry just spending time with her and sharing God’s love.
Team Fuego and Team Neon are together and we are having a blast. Everyone is very encouraging and it has been awesome to see everyone using their gifts and serving in different ways. We have had awesome times playing in the salt water and having mud baths. We go around to different churches and do kids clubs and have worship times. It has been awesome to have an encouraging family to travel with that speaks my language.
We went running through sunflower fields eating the seeds and cutting the flowers down for Tiffany’s birthday. The scenery here is beautiful. It is so green and there are beautiful lakes and fields. o transilvania.
Gypsy dance party day was amazing.. We went into town and sat in on a gypsy meeting. Then, we hung out in the park and in the town square there was a festival. We watched all the gypsy dancing and heard the live music. I hung out with these sweet little girls and laughed and played. We danced all night and met the gypsy king. So much fun. I love Romania.
It has been so much fun going to different churches and just living in the village and hanging out with the people. Our contacts, John and Tootsie, are so awesome and have such a love for the people here. Check out their website: gypsyagape.com It has truly been amazing to be ministering in this beautiful place to the beautiful gypsy people who are so loving and giving.
It has been awesome to learn to serve God in different ways than normal. “Let the Holy Spirit guide your lives.” Galatians 5:16
Living life on the world race, it is different and adventurous. But I’m led by God and I’m living my dreams.
