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

Prayer
"Pray diligently. Stay alert, with your eyes wide open in gratitude. Don't forget to pray for us, that God will open doors for telling the mystery of Christ, even while I'm locked up in this jail. Pray that every time I open my mouth I'll be able to make Christ plain as day to them." -Colossians 4:2-4 msg-

Please pray...a house fire yesterday in Caramidari (the village that I help with kindergarden and homework) took the lives of three children, ages 7 months, 2 years, and 4 years old. The mother went to get water from a community pump, and upon returning, the house was in flames from the wood burning stove. The mother is now in shock, and the father is returning from his job outside of Romania on a flight last night. Some of the people in the OH team prayed with the family and friends last night as well. so Just keep them in your prayers.
Umm also something else that would be good to pray for is, this Thursday through Friday we are having an 24 hour prayer time so keep that in your prayers as well.
Thanks :)

This question keeps going around in my head. And it is this “Why does a four year old have to get cancer?” just this last week I found out about a little girl who they took to the doctor and I guess that she was sick or s omething and once the doctors tested her, they found out that she has cancer. I did not meet her but I have encountered many four year olds since I have been here and well I sure you can think of someone that you know that is four in your life and as you think about any kid they are full of life and dreams and curiosity and mischief and smiles and tears and whiney bad aptitudes, and as I think about cancer it’s such a life draining disease… the two don’t go well together they are complete opposites actually… So with all of that I’m asking that you pray for this girl and her family I think she has four other siblings or something... but yeah just keep them in prayer thanks!

Hey sorry I have not updated in a while, But that is mostly because not much has changed I'm still helping with homework and just yesterday I started kind of helping with kindergarden, ummm I'm sick again... not sure how that happened exactly I have been taking a sufficient amount of vitamin C and airborn but I guess this happens... Oh, and as some or most of you probably know I had really bad sleep issues before I left like I didn't sleep hahah but since I have been here I have been sleeping quite well! So thank God for that! umm thank you for your prayers and just keep praying not only for me but for all of the villages that I go to and the different people that I have the chance to work with
