Welcome

Welcome to my new readers! I don't actually know if you are reading, but I have handed out postcards with my blog address and am hoping that some of you might actually check it out. I have already written quite a bit about my trip... and quite a bit not about my trip. I plan to keep giving information as I receive it, and to try to write a couple of times a week while I am gone. I won't know if you are keeping up with me unless you leave comments or become a follower of the blog. And as I am not very tech savvy, I don't know how to tell you to do that. I'm not sure if you need an account, or just an email address, or what. Perhaps some of you who already follow can leave a comment with instructions?! Anyway, thank you for reading and take a look around. As I write this, the countdown says 14 days! I am still trying to wrap my mind around it.

It has been a busy couple of weeks. School is coming to a close (only 1 & 1/2 days!), I had a birthday, ran a 5K- which was incredibly fun, almost had to move out of my house but the Lord provided just like He always does. I have also continued to work on my Romanian. Tonight I finally got to the first reading lesson. The first 10 lessons were all audio, but lesson 11 had a short reading section at the end of it. I'm not going to lie, it's hard.

Finally, a quick update regarding Romania. A few people have asked how they can help out with my trip. I talked with Sarah, who runs the volunteer program at the hospital, and asked if I could bring anything from here that they need. She said plastic gloves and hand sanitizer would be great. So, I am planning on taking either a bag or box full of those supplies. If you would like to donate money or supplies, just let me know and I will be grateful and happy to add it to what I have. Thanks for your support and prayers!
