  We are having an amazing time here in Medias, Romania.  Our contacts are extremely friendly and we all feel right at home.  We were all a little sick after the long plane rides, but we're feeling much better now.

  Yesterday one of our contacts took us on a tour of Medias.  It's a very old town with an old fortress in the center with several guard towers.  There are also a number of old churches, especially Romanian Orthodox churches.  We were able to go into a large Orthodox church and listen to a choir chant.  It was interesting to see the contrast between very old buildings and roads and very new cars and people dressed in Western clothes.

  Today we started our work.  We are helping clean and clear out the attic at the base in preparation for construction work.  Each of us also has a specific responsibility at the base such as cleaning or helping to cook.

  We will be going to some schools soon as well as doing some evangelism so please continue to keep us in your prayers.
