We made it! After a couple flights, a stop in Poland for some coffee, and a stifling hot crowded bus ride, we made it to the Hostel safely. It's hot and humid…. let me rephrase this… It's hot and humid… there are no analogies for this. A/C is an open window and a cold shower. I'm real happy about the shower and I am taking advantage of it while we have one. Bucharest is a beautiful city depending who you ask… And since I'm the one telling, you will have to take into account what I consider beautiful. The buildings are worn down and the streets are crowded and dirty, dogs set each other off at all hours of the day, graffitti has a permanent residence on all buildings and trains it can find, and we get around three to one on the exchange. What's not to like.
Ok business, we are taking a train ride to Bulgaria come Friday. Our team has shifted a little bit we lost two members to another squad but have gained three new incredible ladies who are a great fit to the group. In Bulgaria we will be working in a ministry that centers around on working with the Bulgarian youth, who we will be trying to reach through ministry, testimony, and evangelism. I am looking forward to Bulgaria, especially since it's a country that's not even one on our list of countries to visit. It's always nice being reminded that God's plan supercedes my own expectations of parameters and understanding. I'm really excited to see what he has in store for us this month to come.
I just want to say how happy and thankful I am of all my supporters who have help me make it this far and all my friends and family who have help me up to this point, I couldn't have done it without your prayer and financial support. Launch ends at the end of the week and then the real hard work begins I can't wait.
(The group first arriving in Romania…… we aren't quite sure of where we are.)
