Miscellanous stuff

Well, it has been almost a month since I have posted anything new. We've had another busy month. For two weeks, two young ladies came from Faulkner University came to Iasi to assist us in our campaign. They have since gone and are now beginning school again. One of them was deeply moved and affected by Costel's situation. She says that she has grown spiritually because of having been here.

I am continuing my two studies. Stephanie took a break in August and will resume studies with her 11 students next month. Actually, she plans to share some of her students with Rachel and a Christian lady from Bucharst who is planning to come to help us next month.

Alina Badea is a Christian from Bucharest. She plans to help us for the next nine months to proofread and translate more material for printing. In the meantime, I will be preaching from 1 and 2 Timothy. I am also enrolled at FHU graduate school to write a 50-page paper on icons. This paper will be a historical and biblical study on the veneration of icons.

Next, Monday, September 3, the hollands and our family are going to spend a two-day vacatio on the Black Sea. Florin's sister runs a kind of inexpensive bed and breakfast there. We plan to rent a van to take us up there at once. I have finally broken down and sent off for my international driver license for the first time. I probably won't be able to use it this time, but I hope to do so in the future.

We received our final identification cards and visa.

Well, that's it for now. I pray God's richest blessings on you today.
