Wow, I can't believe it's already Thursday (although in Fremont it's only very late Wednesday night)!
Last night we went to the mid-week worship service in Nou. For various reasons (anyone who has been here will understand "Romanian time"), we actually got there about 5 minutes before they would normally finish. They welcomed us, and invited us to each speak for a few minutes. Radu (the missions pastor from Sibiu we are staying with) pointed to the clock and said something like "thank you all for coming; good night!" Everyone laughed politely, and showed no signs of wanting to get up or leave. We then spent about a half our sharing some things God has taught us. One of my favorite things in the churches here is that the service lasts until it is over, not until a particular time. But I don't think I'm recommending that for home...
Back in Sibiu we have 4 computers working in the lab, and one of the ones we sent with Pastors Kevin and Rich was already in use replacing their projection computer. We are about to go look for some parts to get a 5th computer up in the lab. We bought a new LCD monitor yesterday, also -- some of these ancient CRTs are on their last legs.
Kim is on her way to the senior home in Slimnic. She has two suitcases packed with things people gave, and some letters from students in the CCS Bible class. I know they are more interested in seeing Kim, though.
For everyone who is thinking about coming to Romania, one small bit of advice: don't plug a computer in until you change the power supply from 110 to 220. I neglected to tell Parker, and we got to go buy a new power supply...
Happy Thanksgiving!
