Terminat

Friday went very quickly. We had a great day with the children, and our graduation went very well, though we didn't have as many parents come as we did the week before. We arrived back at the house in time to get all of our stuff together and watch a few minutes of the soccer game that was on before our last meal in Romania. We had the privilege to be joined by one of the missionary families from our first week who were there to pick up the laptops so that they can use them this following year. After dinner Dr. G headed off to the train station and a few minutes later, after saying goodbye, we started our trip to the hotel. We made a quick detour to the train station to surprise Dr. G and see him off and then we drove to Bucharest. Once we were all checked in and had found our room we had to say our last goodbyes to our Romanian friends. It was hard to see them go.

Saturday we woke up early, caught the shuttle to the airport and got in line to check in. After waiting in the long line, we all finally had our boarding passes and were ready to start our trip home. Thankfully all of of our flights went smoothly, with no delays or cancellations, and we all made it home safely.

Thank you so much for all of your prayers for our trip. It was so nice to know that people were praying for us! Please continue to pray for Romania and the seeds that we planted, along with the pastors, missionaries, and Christians there. mulţumesc!

Headed Home! :(

This week totally flew by as we finished up our trip. Wednesday we decided to conqueror the Hill (a Romania Trip tradition). It was an amazing view when we finally reached the top. We got caught in the rain while up there and then made the long traversal from the top along the back. We stopped to take pictures at this random green spiral staircase. It was shaking like none other when we girls finally made it to the top.

Thursday we finished up the classes about Powerpoint, Excell, and Word. We had an amazing lunch once again. When we got back we had some really good Romanian Pizza, and watched as Dr. G outdid himself by finishing up the Raspberry Mousse. We exchanged gifts with the Vasiles and then hung out with the girls until like Midnight!We had a lot of fun last night playing telephone pictionary and were laughing well into the night.

Today we take off from Romania. The team is splitting off from Dr. G after dinner. He has to catch a sleeper train to go to a wedding and then the rest of the team is going to go to a hotel tonight.

We will all be together on our first flight from Bucharest to London. At London Nathan and Caleb will split off for their flights back home. Daniel, Alissa, and I will continue to Boston. At Boston, Daniel, Alissa, and I will need to go through customs and then Daniel has an extra jog to Philadelphia before his flight home. Alissa and I fly from Boston to Detriot.

Please be praying for our travels and flights that they are on time and don't cancel. Pray for Dr. G's ride that he is able to sleep some before he has to get off and that he doesn't miss his stop. Also be praying for today as we are doing our final class. Pray that the parents come and are able to connect with the pastor.
