We left Constanta, Romania at 1:15 Friday afternoon and arrived in Iasi, Romania at 10:00 pm. It was a new train, but not a place for baggage other than between the cars. Our original seats were close together, but after several stops we discovered the upper level was almost empty. That helped to be able to spread out. When we arrived in Iasi, we took taxis to the base. I love it here. There is a peaceful feeling as you enter this centuries old home. I share a room with 2 other women. We have a deck off our room and a view of the city. We wake up to the sound of roosters crowing. On our way to the internet cafe today, we passed a prison, a beautiful park, a military institution and a university.
This week marks a special celebration of a female saint who died decades ago. The Romanians literally line up for days in order to be able to touch her bones at the church on October 14. There is celebrating in the streets including food vendors and folkdancing.
Our main ministry this next week will be praying for the city.
Sorry it has been so long since my last update, but I do not have access to a computer as often as when I was in Switzerland where I was using my own laptop. (I tried to cut down on luggage on outreach)
Love you all!
