The month of Romania we worked with a local Baptist church in Dragensti-Olt. We were broken up into different ministries including street evangelism, office work, gypsy community activities, English classes and working with children in the community. I spent the majority of my time working with the children.
 
I worked with Tiffany Chen & Megan Miller (both from Amaranthine) as well as Kathryn Law (from my team).  We helped the children with various school subjects particularly math, since we didn’t need to be fluent in Romanian for that!
 
I really enjoyed working with the children and our ministry contacts there. I felt very loved. It turned out to be unexpectedly good month, despite the freezing temperatures (not normal for a Southern California girl). I hope to one day be able to return.
 

Here are some photos from the month!

Shoveling snow, this was outside of the mayor's office.
