Craiova (Day 3) - Pictures and a Quick Note

Here is the larger batch of pictures I promised - more to come. Notice especially the series of pictures where the birthday boy is hoisted in the air - apparently John felt it necessary to show the Romanians the American birthday tradition of "Birthday Spankings" (All 18 - and that last one was a pretty good one). The last two days have been incredible for our team (we've bonded well with each other, with the Romanian leadership team, and with next week's campers that we've met in the park the last two days). We'll try to have a few students post about the their experiences in the past two days tomorrow. Today was a LATE night - traditional Romanian dinner and dancing - quite the celebration. You'll hear more about this later. For now, noapte buna!

Thank you so much for keeping in touch with us at home! Although, I must admit, I am spending entirely too much time checking my computer for the latest update. We can't wait to hear all the stories when you come home Hanna. We are so excited about how God is using you and your special gifts. We are praying for all of you and those you will touch over the next 2 weeks. A special thank you to the adult leaders on this team that have been such a terrific example for our kids! Hanna's Mom and Dad.

It is so exciting to see and read how things are going. It is very encouraging to all of us.
It might be late here but it's 6:30am for you. My watch is set to Romania "time", so I know what you are up to and to remind me to pray for all of you. Looking forward to more student updates. You are doing great job of keeping us updated. Hi Malachi.
