Hey everyone!!!
We are enjoying the 100 degree weather here, with no airconditioning or swimming pools. So if you have either of those, be greatful!!! Today we had Pastor Gigi, Lavi, Ruben and Miriam over for lunch. I grilled chicken and mici and we had mashed potatoes, carrots, salad, bread, and flan for dessert. Can you imagine how hot the kitchen was after cooking and then with 9 people eating in there? We had church this morning. Many of you are in church now :). We have church again in 2 hours, and then some of my friend will be coming over to the mission house. We are keeping very busy. Yesterday was our only free day. We visited Dracula's hometown, Sighisoara. We had a wonderful time. We have gone to 3 villages, and have 4 more this week. One every day. They have gone extremely well. The kids are very responsive and very excited that we are there. For me, it is exciting, because I have been to 2 out of 3 of the villages we went to, so I knew some kids at both. We have also gone strawberry picking, and cleaned the church kitchen.This week, we will visit a friend of mine and Gerri's, who just had twins and got home from the hospital Friday. I am excited to see her and the babies. We will also go for lunch at an older friend's house.
We have little time for rest and relaxation, but it is not necessary here. God is giving me the strength I need, and I have not felt tired. Our luggage did arrive on Monday, except for 3 boxes which came here on Wednesday. But we were able to do everything we needed to do. God provided for us.
Continue to pray for us in our last few days here. Thank you for all your prayers already. They have been heard by God and felt by us!!!! We will leave here on Friday morning around 9, and arrive in Grand Rapids around 6:30, if all goes well. :)
God bless!!!Love, Melissa

Praising God for the work that God is doing in and through you. May the God of peace, who through the blood of the eternal covenant brought back from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shepherd of the sheep, equip you with everythin good for doing his will, and may he work in us what is pleasing to him, through Jesus Christ, to whom be glory for every and every. Heb. 13:20 - 21. Our prayers go with you - we will pray especially for you at Missionary and Campus Ministry Support team tomorrow night.

Sending our love and a breath of cool air! :) Floyd and Jenny

Glad to hear all is going well and that you have your luggage. We'll be praying for the remainder of your time and for a good trip home.
