Back home in Galati

Hi. We just got back from Moldova yesterday, and without being able to write a ton right now, here's some highlights:
  • I like Chisinau. A lot. Very interesting to see everthing written in Romanian and Russian. Lots of cool buildings. Although, if I moved here I'd have to buy a pair of boots with a 4-inch heel.
  • We stayed at a place called the Bethany Center. It is run by the Pentecostal Union of Moldova and is located a bit south of Chisinau. Each family that lives there is made up of foster children that have been integrated into a family. Mary Margaret and I stayed with Luda & Pedro. They had 8 kids. Loved staying with a family and talking (as much as we could) with them. Also, saw the stars one night and loved it.
  • Visited an orphanage in a villiage outside Chisinau. It was appalling. And overwhelming. More about that later post.
  • Read through and discussed Henri Nouwen's Compassion while there. Was really interesting.
  • I only have a few minutes left on this PC. Will write more soon.
  • Thanks for praying for us. There is a huge need in Moldova. Especially for orphaned or abandoned children.
  • Also, it snowed the first day we were there.
  • And, I got to draw water from a well.

Love hearing from you all. Take care!
