The last two days of Sibiu

Well, here it is. The last night here in Sibiu. I'm a little sad about leaving, as I've grown attached to the area. Here's what has happened over the past couple days...

Rich, Jerry and I all went to the radio station for the interview. Turns out they wanted to interview Rich as well. They asked him about the topic of accountability, which seems to be a relatively new idea here. As for me, they asked me about my ministry back home, what my trip here has done and where everything is going. So, all my brothers and sisters in Alive!, you're now famous in Romania!! :) Now, what they do is they record the interview and then translate it before distributing and airing the interview. So, not only will this be aired in and around Sibiu, but also in other parts of the country as well.

After the interview (and, of course, more good Romanian food), we went up to watch and support the Music Camp International concert. To sum it up in a few words, it was astounding! I cannot believe what Connie did with these kids in only 4 days. What was funny was that I left the camera back at the church, since I was going to be filming Tony for him during the concert. But, God had other plans. Connie comes over with her camera (another Canon DSLR) and asks me to take pictures of the concert. So, I was at it again. Only, this time, I had a lot of parents to deal with. But, I was able to get some good pics for her, which was good.

Afterwards, we had to head back home to get "holy" for another church service (i.e. get dressed up). But, not without picking up some gogosi! :D Rich gave a great sermon and seemed to touch a lot of people there that night. Everyone seems to be so thankful wherever we go of our service to them. But, to be honest, I feel like I'm the one that should be giving thanks, as they have ministered to me more than I feel I have to them.

Then came today. We all went out to Siniai (yes, even the ladies and Tony), which was about a 3 hr. drive. And, since she was on the way, we picked up Connie to join us. The trip was pretty neat, with a lot of scenic shots to take (and, believe me, I did). It started raining as we got close, which wasn't all that great, but oh well. It let up once we got close to the palace we were going to be going through. And, yes, I brought the camera. The palace was beautiful, as was the surrounding scenery. Look for pics soon on my Facebook (all 250+ of them).

Afterwards, Connie recommended we try papanasi (pronounced pa-pa-nash). Now, I love gogosi very much, but papanasi just might edge it out. If you don't know what it is, do a Google search for it. It was great! Plus, I was able to pick up some things for all the people that were able to send me here, as a token of my thanks.

So, once we finally made it back, we took Radu and Emma out for dinner as a show of our appreciation. It was great to be able to get to know them better and bond with them more. I'm sad I won't get to share in their humor for a while, but it definitely gives me something to look forward to.

Well everyone, that's just about it for now. I'm going to be getting some sleep so I can get ready for service in the morning then leaving for Munich in the afternoon. I'll try and post from Munich, but if I can't, I'll see you all in Spain. Goodnight everyone, and happy Fourth of July from Romania!! :D
