So we’re in Romania and have been for about a month now. This past month we have been working at a camp called Seventh Springs. The camp is nestled in hills of Lipova, Romania. We’ve been so blessed by the simplicity of life here. Cows and sheep graze in the pastures. There's one store we frequent to buy ice cream. We visit our neighbor, Sophia… she is the sweetest lady. A group of us went to go milk her cow the other day. All we wanted was to milk a cow to say that we have milked a cow. Too our surprise, Sophia offered us the fresh, frothy, warm milk from her cow. She poured us each a little cup. So we each said cheers and drank the fresh, frothy, warm milk.
Since we’ve been here we have been helping get the camp ready for summer. We have scraped paint off the windows, tile floors, door jams, and baseboards. We have swept and mopped the camp facilities many times, done countless loads of laundry. We have weeded and mowed the grass. We have taken out the tile carpets in all the rooms and scrubbed them by hand. We then proceeded to put them back in the correct room… each room like a giant puzzle. It’s been a good and tiring month.
