Our group of 7 kids or so have been meeting since February. It is a joy to see this group happen. Please pray for the 112 group as we grow together toward him. A funny coincidence is 112 is the emergency number for Romania just like the American 911.
We celebrated the Resurrection last Sunday. Resurrection Sunday is much different here in Romania then Nebraska. Starting last Thursday the priest started singing over the loudspeaker at church. The singing is loud enough to be heard all over town. On Saturday night nearly the entire town comes to get a special flame that magically appears from a place in Jerusalem. I went to the church at midnight to see how the service went. Here is a short clip. It is dark but three men are singing about the story of the cross. We spent Resurrection Sunday at a friends house in town. We had a great meal including homegrown rabbit. I just thought of how funny it is to eat rabbit on Easter. Kale and the neighbor boy Marti had an Easter Egg hunt together. Marti's Grandpa said he has only seen a egg hunt on T.V. People do die Easter eggs like in America, but then they just eat them, they do not go on hunts. Also, the Easter Bunny does not seem to exist, but they do get presents usually.
This is a picture of the picnic shelter Luca and I are building. Luca is a high school student that has been staying with us for a few weeks. We hope to use this shelter for meals and Bible studies. The shelter is in our backyard and I can't wait to start using it for ministry.
We managed to buy a personal car for us. We had a friend go to Germany for us a get it. Believe it or not it was cheaper to send someone to Germany and drive it back then to buy a car in Romania. I now get the joy of trying to register the car in Romania. I can't imagine what it will take to do so but we found a good Christian lawyer to help us out.
I have a cousin who says that coincidences are really caused by God and are reminders to us of his actions in our lives.
