Back From Romania! Volume 2

After we arrived in Charlotte we continued on our way and boarded our flight to Frankfurt. This flight was supposed to take eight hours and forty minutes. It was the longest flight I had ever been on, that is until the way back which was nine hours and fifty minutes! The highlight of that long night was the inflight entertainment that's for sure!
From Frankfort we then went on to Munich, which was a very short flight. We were all very tired by then and ready just to get to Romania and in a horizontal bed! But that was not to be until 12 hours later.....
In Munich we learned that there were no seats on the flight to Cluj (that we thought we were already on) but that we were on the waiting list instead. They said that we would have to wait until the next day to fly out! We just could'nt believe all the changes that had happened today......
But again, Thank the Lord, they found a flight for us to Budapest that would get us closer to our destination. The only thing about that was the eight hour van ride that awaited to take us from Budapest to Finate. :O Finally, around 7am Romanian time, July 18 we rolled in to Finate and arrived at the camp. Boy, was I ever glad to get into bed as I was then! We had been traveling for around 40-45 hours. Though, some of the group stayed up and helped with VBS after we got something to eat. Thanks, guys!
 Later that evening I went with some other ladies to visit two other ladies and to invite them to a Bible study that we were having. They were both very friendly and invited us in and gave us something to drink. At the second house (which was very lovely) we tried fresh warm milk, fresh from the cow just 15 minutes earlier. It was pretty good, but it was weird having it warm. :)

 My only wish is that some day I will be able to speak with these people with out a translator. There are ways that you can show your love and interest in them without speaking to them, but I want to do more than that. We'll see how that goes!

More later!
