An Amazing Mission Team

I didn't post last week because nothing out of the ordinary really happened. This past week though, oh man. It's been so great. A group of students studying in Austria spent their 10-day break here in Romania. I was so happy to have some Americans around for a while. Fr. Remus and I took them to Maramures to some of the wood churches and to the Happy Cemetery, to Satu Mare for a little sightseeing, and to the castle in Carei.

It was so good for the kids at the orphanage to have 8 more people to play with. Sometimes it's really hard for me to be able to meet the attention needs of each kid every time I am there and it was so great to have extra help. At the orphanage yesterday, the kids were asking me when my friends were coming back. They miss them already. 

 

I am not even exaggerating when I say that the Lord sent me the most amazing mission team of all time. I know this is a short update, but no words can really describe the week. It was super blessed and the Lord definitely worked throughout their time here.

Lauren, Emily, Jake, Jimmy, Megan, Nicole, Mary, and Anna: I just want to thank you all for taking your 10-day here in Romania. You could have traveled around Europe, but instead, you chose to give of your time to serve the people of Romania. It was so amazing to have you all here and I am so grateful to have been able to share my love of Romania with you guys. I can't wait to see you all in Austria for Thanksgiving!
