Bucharest to Craiova - a short "essay" by Malachi D. Braughler

wusup america this is your pal Malachi Braughler from Craiova @ 10:50pm. This mornin i was the first one up at 6:30 which was early but very nice and peaceful to do a devotion it was 2 hours before everyone got up but it was nice to have some alone time. the boys didn't have a shower, it was like a hose type thing so that was fun, girls had a full shower. for breakfast we had cheese 3 kinds of meats 2 kinds of yogurt 2 kinds of cereal and it was so good. after breakfast around 10ish we were gunna go tour bucharest but daniel had to do somethin with his sweet van, so we didn't head out till around noon. we went to the peoples palace which in square meters is a little smaller than the pentagon. we ate Mc Donalds for lunch in the parking lot then we toured the peoples palace and we saw like 5 rooms and all of them were big enough to fit like 5 whole houses in them it was insane. then we had a 3 to 4 hour drive to craiova in a big minibus which was mercedez benz, which i thought was awesome. for a while most people slept but when we were almost there we started talking and jokin around. we arrived in craiova @ the church and kinda just hung out meeting some of the kids at the church, had some pizza that was different but cool. it had no sauce, but had eggs, whole black olives with the hard pits in them still, buncha meets and if u wanted sauce you could add ketchup, but it was good. after supper we kinda hung out some more and talked. then we left and went to our host families. me and sunshine (jordan) tonight are staying at daniels and tomorrow we get to stay at his parents house which are really really nice like just built by the organization he works for which was a great blessing from God. so all in all we are doin awesome, god is really helpin us and bein' with us, so we love you all and hope your doin well and we miss you
