It's amazing the funny things that get said when translation is taking place. Today we were riding in a van talking about goats and sheep (They like sheep cheese around here). And something was said about not licking the goat. We all died laughing and have had a great time.
This morning it was raining so we were unable to put on our sports camp, but this allowed us to come back and paint one of the apartments behind the church. We got alot accomplished and had a great time. Tonight we had our sports camp. I am now a believer that I am not in as good as shape as I thought. I have run all over the place playing soccer and have a new found respect for soccer players.
Ionica presented the gospel tonight and many of the boys prayed to receive Christ, but Ionica said only a few of them were really making a commitment. It is a tough job around here, because so many kids have such a bad view of religion, thanks to the legalism and problems within the Orthodox church. Ionica has a tough job ahead, but they remain positive and he has a great vision for reaching out to the local villages. Please keep praying for some of the following:- Tomorrow is the last night of Sports Camp, and we ask that you would be praying that we can make some inroads in the kids lives.
- Cristi and Irene have started a new Awana program and had 30 people yesterday. Praise God!
- Pray for Margaret, (german missionary) who has done a great job working with the younger kids here in Rimnicu and in Copacena. She really needs more help.
- Brian
