What a crazy long couple of days. So many stories already but I’m too tired to share them right now. I have finally arrived in Arad, Romania and I’m so excited for all that God has in store. There is something about the beauty of this place……found in simple things. As I walked into the home of my beautiful host family it smelled and looked and felt just like Christmas. A warm meal on the table and lot’s of smiles and nods by those who don’t share the same language. We even made fresh doughnuts for dessert. I was stinky and in need of some serious R and R. We sat around and visited for an hour or so and then I was shown my room…..it’s great. A comfy bed, a cool breeze and I even have internet connection. Taking a shower felt better than it ever has…...I had a 3 hour layover in Munich where the A/C was not working….everyone was sweaty and I truly felt at the end of the world as I entered my final plane. It was a small jet and the seats looked like they were designed for tiny little Romanians…..I was so tired I felt sick and was so grateful when I woke up an hour and a half later hearing the words, “welcome to Timasuara”……not only had I arrived but God had granted me just enough rest to get me through the final drive to the city of Arad and to interact and be myself with my new friends and Christian family. The Romanian sky was rainy and cool and so refreshing. Both my bags were the first off the belt and once again I was feeling God’s favor. My first sounds to the outside world were that of morning doves saying hello. I hope to post pictures tomorrow of my arrival….that is if I can get the power adapter to charge up my laptop…….for now I’m excited for some sleep on a flat surface. Thanks for all your prayers in getting me here! Signing off………..
