Sunday morning

Happy Sunday!!!

It's about 9:30 a.m. here and we're heading off to church, which is always a great experience in Romania. The services are about 3 hours, so it's longer than what most of us are used to. They're also a little more charismatic and the people seem more excited to be there, which I think is something we can learn from. We'll have several college-aged students sitting among us to translate the sermon, and we'll do our best to sing the songs in Romanian. (They do a lot of Hillsong music, so we'll probably recognize them as ones we do in our own churches.)

After church we're headed to 2 of the homes here at Caminul Felix to eat lunch. If you'd like to read more about Caminul Felix, you can check out their website. It is a Christian organization here that has 2 villages (somewhat like compounds) with about 10 homes, and most of them have about 15 children living there with a set of loving Christian parents. On the compound there is a "hotel" where we're staying all week, and it's a blessing to be here helping their ministry as well. They are amazing servants, and they definitely know how to cook! I think we'll all come back a few pounds heavier after the meals we eat here... There is certainly no bug-eating or weird animal meat you don't recognize like you might assume most mission trips consist of.

Well, our bus is probably outside waiting, so have a great Sunday!
