Greetings from Timisoara, Romania! Our mission team was dropped off safely by John and Linda Berger at O'Hare Airport in Chicago. Our flight took off around 8:45pm and after an hour layover in Munich, Germany (good chocolate, mmm) we flew into Timisoara, Romania. We arrived at approximately 4:00pm in the afternoon (8:00am US time), so we flew all night and our Thursday was pretty much already over when we arrived in Romania (boy does that feel strange). Everyone tried to sleep on the plane but I don't think anyone was very successful except Caleigh Graeber :) We were picked up at the airport by Eugene and Doru who took us out to eat at one of their favorite restaurants which is owned by Christians. The food was delicious, I think the favorite of many was called "Pizza Emily" which had canadian bacon and french fries as toppings. Everyone is very tired but doing just fine. No problems at all, as you can see from the bottom picture we moved our things into Bethany Baptist Church where we will be spending the night. Please pray for a good night sleep and that we might quickly recooperate from a long night (and day) of travel. I'm sure I speak on behalf of the whole team when I say "I miss you" and "I love you" to my family and all of our brothers and sisters in Christ at Grace Church. Be looking each day for a new update on our blog!

Praying you all are sleeping soundly as I type! The Lord's mercies are new each morning and that goes for jet-lagged mornings in Romania too : ) So excited to see what God is going to do through each one of you!
ReplyDeleteOn a personal note, Dave, we got to your mom and dad's safely. Everyone's doing just fine... although, Zach sliced his big toe pretty good last night(thankfully not bad enough for stitches) and to the boys' dismay and mommy's delight, the game cube isn't working : ) We all miss you and love you... esp. Sarah(she's been walking around your mom's house pointing at every picture of you squealing "Dada!")
One more thing, don't forget to give Lucian a big hug from all of us when you go to the orphanage and TAKE PICTURES!!
