My sixth month was spent in Targu Mures, Romania, in the region of Transylvania. Here’s a look at February:
We went on many home visits and prayer walks.
My friend Maria and I. We visited many gypsy villages and her family often.
We also went to the nearby universities and tried to initiate spiritual conversations with students and invite them to church. When the students were in classes, as a last resort, we ended up writing Bible verses on the chalkboards in the empty classrooms. Who knows how Jesus can use that, right? 🙂

I cannot even put into words how this family welcomed us and the presence of God into their home. I have never experienced such hospitality and kindness as I have on the race!
We went to an orphanage in Romania and got to play with, worship together, and tutor the kids in English.
We also were part of a Romania gypsy funeral procession. We made weekly home visits to an elderly man, who was dying, and he passed away while we were there.
