I have put this off as long as possible. I leave my house at 3:30 a.m. tomorrow, I need to seriously think of what to put in my one....1....suitcase, for a 2.5 week trip out of the USA.
In case I haven't said, I will be going to Romania on a Mission trip for 2 and a half weeks. I am very excited that God has made this trip possible and will use me to His glory. I will be traveling with 11 others, ages 13 to late 60's. It is so exciting to see these young people going to minister. Six of the group first went 2 years ago, so there will be some with experience in the travel.
We leave PDX at 7:30am, travel to Newark, then on to Munich, Germany, then into Cluj, Romania, where we will be met by a church van and travel to Alba lulia, (Alba Oolia). We will meet the Pastor and family there, and be introduced to our host families, perhaps a little site seeing.
The Plan...we will begin on Monday with travel to the Camp, a week long Vacation Bible School, titled The Amazing Race at Camp Necrilesti, at the base of mountains. There will be over 50 teens coming to the camp from neighboring villages. We will give them all camp shirts and lesson plan. As our "Romania" is treacherous there will be a translator, and body language is pretty universal! I am attempting to learn..."thank you, please, where is the restroom" ....I should have it down by airplane touchdown.
During the week we will sleep in tents for the guys and inside the newly constructed building for women. Little rustic, bathe in the stream, water for drinking is brought in from underground spring. I do not think there is running water, last time it was trips to the outhouse. We can do our laundry on the weekends at our host family's home. There will be a trip into Sighisoara and a trip to see Dracula's castle....interesting.
I pray for health for the team, rest,( the time is ahead of us 10 hours), Divine appointments to happen, new relationships to be made, fun, and God's love to be felt by all.
I'm sure time will fly past, as it always does when you do not want it to. I will take pictures to help me remember the special moments. Journal, as I always do. We will have access to the Internet at the church, but, not knowing what that means at this point, I will probably only have time to send notes to family. If I have more time, I may Blog from there!!
In the past few weeks I have enjoyed the company of my grandsons, Mason and Gunner. Mason doing Sports Camp one week and both boys for a week of VBS. I enjoyed the boys, and enjoyed the rest afterwards!!! Keep me in your prayers........
