Good Morning from Romania

It is 730ish a.m., Sunday, here in Braila Romania and most of the team is stirring around upstairs. Safe to say that many of them are pretty tired as am I but we got a good night's sleep last night. We are staying at the Home of Hope Orphanage and it is very nice accommodations with good warmth, nice beds, and hot water. Yea! (and internet obviously)

We have a total of 18 on the team and soon will be headed out to serve two different churches in the Braila area. Our team will be leading in worship through singing, testimonies, preaching and whatever else they would like for us to do. The afternoon is to consist of doing some children's ministry and encourage them to come back each day after school. We have many crafts, games, and lessons planned for them.

Our trip went very well. 10 of us left from Nashville about 630p on Friday and met the other 8 in Dulles, (who had come from Dallas, Charleston, and other places I am not remembering right now). All of our luggage and supplies made it with us except for one of the girl's bag that will arrive on Monday to us here in Braila.

Braila is located about a 3 hours drive NE from Bucharest and about 60 miles west of the Black Sea. The weather is mid-20s at night and mid-30s during the day and the wind likes to blow across this flat part of the country.

I will do my best to update our trip daily. Thanks so much for praying for our team and for the Roma people that God has allowed us to serve this week. Pray for our missionaries, Bob and Gayle Hill, who are wonderful people and have made us feel very welcome already.
