Having a great time here in Romania. We made a pact that what goeson in Romania, stays in Romania. Ha. Weather has been beautiful and overcast today with some sprinkles of rain. This has overall been nice because it has somewhat kept the temperatures in check. AC very rare here as compared to US of A. Had a good big breakfast with our host family, Nicolas, Elizabeth and Michaela. Consisted of bread, cheese, cucumber, tomatoes, boiled eggs, hot tea, salami, and ham. My what a good breakfast, will be expecting same from my wife when we get home. LOL.
Today went on tour of downtown Arad and checked out shops and bought some souvenirs. Also went to central market and checked out breads, pastries, and farmer's produce. Prices very inexpensive as compared to US. People here are friendly and want to put on their best for Americans. It helps considerably having Debra, our missionary here to help translate. A real blessing to be here and have chance to visit folks from other nations. Pray for John and my helping to lead men's conference on Saturday, tomorrow. John will be doing the studies and I will be leading the music aspect of the program. It will be interesting ( and potentially embarassing) to sing some of the well-known songs in Romanian. God bless all who read this.
