Aqua Project

Hey Friends and Family!
Yesterday we took a bus for 2 hours until we reached a medium sized town with a super-long name I can't pronounce. While we were there, we did a clean-up Madison Mission style project called Aqua Project. We picked up trash in the park and around the city. Laying in the trash, we found a tiny dying puppy laying under a car. We adopted it and took it back to Craiova with us. It didn't make it through the night. Side-by-side with Romanians from various churches, we tidied up the city. After a two course lunch, we ventured down to the longest river in Europe, the Danube. Across the river, we could see Serbia. We dipped our feet in and a few brave people [Paul and Daniel] went swimming in the most likely toxic water. After that, we painted the walls of a stadium kind of area and prepared for the concert that was planned for later in the evening. Dinner was simpler than lunch; we had salami and salty cheese sandwiches. We wandered around the dock and then found a spot to have a soda. Finally, at 9:00pm we grabbed seats in the stadium and the concert began. The music was great. There were two bands that played. The first was a christian rock group and the second was more mellow worship music. It was really cool to see all the people coming into the freshly painted stadium since it hadn't been used in around 20 years. After the concert, we were super tired and we piled onto the bus. We reached Craiova at 2:00 am, it was a really late night. Today we slept in really late. I woke up at noon, but some of the team awoke at 2:00pm. We're doing great [especially with the extra sleep] and feeling great.
Miss you all,
