Sorry it has been so long since my last blog! Romania was a great month. We lived in a very small gypsy, farm village. The property we stayed on was used as a retreat for teenagers and their youth groups as well as for adult conferences. Our ministry this month was divided into many different parts. Even though we had a lot of responsibilities, how we finished them and when we go them done was up to us. It included everything from tearing down walls in a new conference hall, to building an outhouse for their new property, and making all of the meals for the other guests at the retreat. I was able to make my favorite pulled pork and vinegar sauce for my team! However, my favorite assignment this month was being able to clean up and fix up the actual property for future teams, retreats, and conferences.
Here is a video I put together for Bosnia and Romania.
