Through Romanian Eyes

Below is a hypothetical recent journal entry of a Romanian child we've taught. It emphasizes (or at least tries to) their point of view. I hope this comes out just right.

16 June 2010

Today, I went to a computer class that is being taught by Americans in my village. They're very funny to look at and they laugh a lot. They have taught us basic typing skills, and today, we wrote a letter. They are not very good at football. Except for one, maybe two of them. During our break today we sang some songs and the Americans told us about how God took our punishment for our sins. They did a skit. One of the boys "killed" one of the girls and then was taken away to a judge by some policemen. The judge said that the murderer should be killed, but then stopped the policemen from killing him. The judge took the man's place and was taken off with the policemen. I think I understood what it meant. I'm pretty excited to go to the computer class again tomorrow.

This is pretty much what the children have been seeing. We've started to get into the groove of things and become comfortable with the people who are driving us around and translating for us in the villages. The missionaries and pastors that live here are very unified; they’re a great team that works very hard to glorify God. Our team has also become much more unified in the past three days. Nathan was again able to talk the guys in Draganesti. One of them is already saved and is considering baptism. Both would like prayer for wisdom and for provision. Also, please be praying for humility and a sense of enthusiasm for each day for the team.

Grace and Peace.
