Oops it has been a while again... Sorry about that.

Well, let's see there has not really been all that much new stuff that has happened since I last updated I'm still doing the same things with the same people :) Oh we got a sink like a real sink at the Hope Center it has made doing the dishes a ton better before this we has a small kitchen sink but now the dishes can be done in a breeze! ha-ha
Umm funny story today I called the sun a sword... it was rainy out and me and another girl were walking and the sun started to come out and I said "Look the sword!" but I wanted to say "Look the sun!"... haha
in Romanian Sword is= Sabie. and sun is= Soare.
So she had a really confused look on her face and I was like "What did I just say??" And then I was like "Sabie? sabie? what does that mean??" And then I remembered and I corrected myself Ha-ha it made for a rather funny few minuets...
 In time I shall concur this language! ha-ha 
                                      
Umm I went to the Black Sea for a day with some cool kids




Here are some pictures of my time in Chiselet. 




As you can tell I'm working really hard. : ) 

Some Caramidari kids





Continue to keep me and the Out stretched hands team in your prayers.
I have also made the decision to stay longer than June 27th I'm not sure at this point how much longer I will be staying but it will be longer than June so pray that God will lead me in how much longer I should stay. 

May God bless and keep you and make his face shine upon you.

I am well. :) hahah

It has been a while since I have updated again, so, sorry about that... I'm bad with the whole coming up with things to say. Ummmm But I thought I would give an update on how I am and such. 
So I have been here for two months tomorrow and so far it seems like it has gone by really quickly almost to quickly because at the end of this month my time will be like half over! I am starting to learn more Romanian! Which is good! I'm at a dangerous part of understanding haha like the other day I was in the village Chislet and Someone was speaking to me in Romanian and I thought I understood him but I didn't completely I tell you the story even thought it make me look dumb hahah
So I stay in Chislet Saturday nights and sometimes Sunday nights as well, and I was there and we were hanging out in someone's house and in Romania they don't have living rooms with couches and stuff the just have the bedrooms and sit on the beds and the floor so there I was sitting on the bed with Nicu, Maluta, and Mirela, and I think maybe one other person or a kid or something but anyway we were all on the bed and Nicu had three boys staying at his house and he said to me in Romanian that tonight he would come and stay with me and Maluta at here house and I would sleep on the floor and he would sleep in the bed with Muluta ( they are getting married in June) because his room is really full of because of the boys staying there. and after he said that he asked me if that was okay. and I was like yeah that is fine and started to get off the bed and I was going to sit on the floor because I understood him to say right at that moment I would go on the floor and him and Muluta would be on the bed... hahah and once I was getting off the bed he asked me what I was doing so I told him and everyone started to laugh at me because I didn't understand what he said and after that he told me in English what he said and I stayed on the bed and I told him that he can't sleep in the same bed as Muluta until they are married, and he agreed haha but I got the just of what he said so the point of the story is I need to learn more Romanian. hahah 
Umm also I really feel at home here and am surrounded by great friends and just feel apart of a family so I guess that has made time go fast and pleasant. So yeah I'm doing really well I'm eating a lot of foods that I probably would have never eaten in the States like the other night for example I ate cabbage straight! haha and if you remember any stories from my past trips to Romania you know that I hatted anything with cabbage but now I think I may actually like it hahah
