Andrew, Geta, Elijah, Jeremiah, Ammishaddai, and Joseph.April 23rd, 2010. Rachitova, Romania
It looks like spring has finally arrived here in Romania. There has been a number of weeks of good warm (and sometimes hot!) weather already. There has also been some thunderstorms, very typical spring weather here.
Thank you for your prayers for Geta's mother (see also last blog entry); she is feeling much better now. We continue to pray for God to speak to her and draw her to himself.
We (Andrew and the children) went to join Geta in Rusca Montana where she had been taking care of her mother, and after a couple days there visiting, we went to Geta's grandparents in the village of Rachitova for a visit as well. While there in that area, we had opportunity on Sunday April 25th to visit the church in Hobita which is only about twenty minutes' drive from where the grandparents live.

We take every opportunity we can when we are in that area to visit the church there. The church is very small, and mostly has only elderly people in it (and two of them have died in the last year or so). We stay all day for both services, and it is always such a blessing for us to be with the believers in Hobita, and they are always so grateful when we come - it's really overwhelming. By the grace of God, I was able to give the morning message in Romanian, with occasional help from my wonderful wife! I gave the evening message in Romanian as well, but I tend not to do so well in the evening after speaking Romanian all day long. I think my mind and tongue both start to get tired after a whole day speaking another language. But thankfully I have such a great wife, who helps me along whenever I need it!
In the end, it was a good trip, with prayers for Geta's mother answered, a wonderful visit with Geta's grandparents (both believers as well), and a blessed time of fellowship in Hobita.
Thank you for your continued prayers for us. We need them! Thank you for your faithfulness to God, and the blessing that you are to our family and ministry.
In Christ,
Andrew & Geta & family
