Last night in Medias!

Our last night in Medias! What a trip it has been... at 2:00 AM tuesday morning we will take a train to Constanta, Romania on the black sea coast for a day for debriefing... then spend one night in Bucharest for debriefing...

Our plane leaves at 6AM on Thursday morning and we have a 6PM arrival in Tulsa... will be a long next couple of days! Please be praying for safety for all of us as we travel... also that the next two days would be a refreshing time to reflect on the last few weeks!

If we get a chance we will post more pictures when we return.... Jon and Brian will be continuing the blog as they will be here for another 10 weeks~

Sterns, Key, and Helm... + climbing a castle

Hey Everyone! We are on the home stretch! Only 5 more days here in the city of Medias! Then we will begin our debriefing here in Romania and then begin traveling home! Please keep us in your prayers... the weather has been bad here so we have not been able to do much the last few days... Also a couple of people are a little under the weather. 

Kevin will get on hopefully tomorrow and post a more extensive written update~ For now I wanted to put a few pics and videos up so that you can see what we have been up to...!

We were visited for a few days by our RC Tyler Sterns and friends...
MOG for life...
We have taken over 100 taxis since our arrival in Medias!
At first we couldn't find a way into the castle, so Brian tried to climb the castle wall...
Castle (church) we were trying to get into...
We decided climbing in wasn't a good idea~ found someone that could let us in... will tell about it in another post.

A look around the top of the medieval church... that has not been restored... was awesome!

looking out one of the archer's windows... the turkish are coming!
climbing down the castle...
