Below is a translation of part of an email I received from one of my students from this summer. I thought you would enjoy reading it:
Dear Mr. Eric,
I have tried repeatedly to send you my thoughts at your address, loaded with a thousand thanks for what you have done for me.
I want to tell you that I have read on my vacation more than have the Bible which you sent, as I told you that I printed it in town (I had given him a New Testament online). Now I am translating the Bible without reading any more English. I have familiarized myself almost complete with the vocabulary from the book (probably the English booklet I sent). Additionally, I have learned for the first time the content of the Bible which has impress me pleasantly. I don't know if I have well or not, but I sent the content of these books also to a friend and she told me that it gave her so much pleasure to read it that she found the decency to make comments on the margin of the contents of the Bible, with a girl from China. In turn, the girl remain impressed with the Holy Book.
I hope to keep in touch if you do not change your email address.
We wish you happy holidays together with a warm "To many years" (greeting for the New Year).
With special esteem,
The Martinescu Family

In response, I have invited him to come to worship this Sunday and the following Sunday to meet the Christian men. I hope to set up a study from the VBSS correspondence course and to give him our most recently printed books.

Draga d-le Eric,
Am incercat in repetate randuri sa va trnsmit gandurile mele la adresa dv. incarcate cu mii de multumiri, pentru tot ce a-ti facut pentru mine.
Vreau sa va spun ca am citit in concediul mai mult de jumatate din Bilia pe care mi-ati trimis-o, dupa cum v-am mai spus am tiparit-o in oras. Acum traduc biblia fara sa mai citesc in engleza. M-am familiarizat aproape complet cu vocabularul din carte. In plus am aflat pentru prima data continutul Bibliei, care m-a impresionat placut. Nu stiu daca am procedat bine sau nu, dar am trimis si unui prieten continutul acestei carti si mi-a spus ca i-a facut o mare placere sa o citesca incat, a gasit de cuviinta sa faca comentarii pe marginea continutului Bibliei , cu o fata din China. La randul ei fata, a ramas placut impresionata de Sfanta Carte....
Eu sper sa tinem legatura daca nu va schimbati adresa de e-mail.
Noi va dorim Sarbatori fericite impreuna cu un calduros " LA MULTI ANI!"
Cu deosebita stima Fam. Martinescu
