Thursday, October 12: By God’s grace, we have had no
intestinal issues. We are feeling fine, but a bit tired after three weeks on
the road. Things have not gone that well here in Visuresti. In reality, I have
only had three students, the three others that have been here regularly do not
seem to be catching much. I am going to have to discuss other options with
Lulian today. We are praying that he will be open to training leaders in
Bucharest, who in turn can take the training back to small churches like
Visuresti. The translator I had on Tuesday was pleasant but limited in her
English. At times, we came to a standstill, as I could not think of other ways
to say what I wanted and she could not understand my meaning. We eventually
worked through it all but it was quite frustrating. More men came on Wednesday
but I am not sure how much they get coming only now and again. Thursday, we
have church before training so another short session. This has to change if we
are going to be successful.
We have been very pleased with how warm and welcoming the
families have been to us all through our trip. That has made some of the
frustrations seem less important. We came back to Bucharest last night and are
having our laundry done today to set us up for the rest of the trip. We leave for
Germany tomorrow around noon.
