Acts 1: 7-8

He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the father has set by his own authority. But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Just Plain Busy

We are sorry we have not posted more often. I can not believe that it is almost December! November has flown by with a whirlwind if activity. I will try to catch you up:


Last week we went Budapest, Hungary for the Free Methodist European Church Leadership Conference. It is an event that is held every other year for missionaries, pastors, and church leaders from the European Free Methodist churches. It was a great time for use to learn, share, worship, network, and relax. It was excellent, there were 15 countries with 13 different languages represented. Here is a link to Larry Winkles blog that describes it in more detail if you like http://winckles.typepad.com/update/.


Then on Thursday we celebrated Thanksgiving. In Romania, it is just another day. So I went to work in Tsigmandru and the boys went to school. I would be lying if I said it was easy working on the holiday. I am all about the Thanksgiving meal and watching football with family and friends. Then in the evening we went down to Roberta's for a traditional Thanksgiving meal. Wow, was it great! It definately felt great to eat. It made it easier to be away from home on a holiday. We ate with the five of us, Roberta, Hans from the Netherlands, Morag from Scotland, and nurse Annie from England. It was very multi-national, yet very American. Maurice
