We Made it Back...to Romania!

Dear Friends and Family,
Geta and I and the kids wanted to say again to each of you that we really enjoyed our three and a half months in the states. We were very happy that we got to visit with so many of you, got to know others of you better, and shared many times of fellowship together.
The time was over too quickly it seemed! We arrived safely back in Romania on February 26th, with all of our bags (and all of our kids)! We are adjusted to the time difference, and we are enjoying once again the fellowship of our friends and church family here in Romania and in the city of Turnu-Severin.
PRAYER REQUESTS: 1) We have learned that we need to move out of our apartment by the end of April - please pray that God will provide a place for us to move to very soon; 2) please pray that in the midst of many opportunities to serve Him, God would give us clear direction as to what he would have us do for the next few months or year of ministry; 3) please continue to pray that God will provide a van for our family: more funds for the van, and patience to wait for the right one, and discernment to know which is the right one.
Thank you for keeping our family lifted up in prayer; we look forward to the next time when we will see each other again.
Love, Andrew, Geta, and family
p.s. We have posted some pictures with this blog entry that we hope you will enjoy. The picture at the top of this entry is of our family taken on February 9th, 2008 in Newport, Oregon. L-R in the back: Geta; the new baby Jeremiah; Elijah; Andrew; in front: Ammishaddai; Joseph. The one directly below is our family outside the airport in Timisoara, Romania, just after our arrival -- as you can see, happy to be back here in Romania (or maybe just happy to finally be off the airplanne)! The pictures that follow have captions above them. Enjoy!

(meech, little pork/beef/spiced sausages) All the kids love it!
