Making The Delivery

Yesterday the delivery was made...Randy & Teresa picked up their luggage delivery from Bucharest via our mission team. It was great to see that they are doing well and visit with them for a while. Whitney and I have become very attached to this couple and we look forward to seeing more of them when they move to the north KC area.

Happy Birthday Megan

Dinner with family and friends at Stroud's.

Heading Home

Leaving Odpen Airport in Bucharest, Romania.

On the first leg of our journey back to the states.

Amsterdam, Netherlands...Second stop.

The longest leg of the flight, Amsterdam to Memphis, TN...9 hours, 30 minutes.

Our flight delayed in Memphis from 7:50 pm til 10:40 pm...For some of us the time flew by quickly (above). For me it was a long delay.

Getting Things Started

Steve getting things "tuned up" at the first music session at the church. Steve told us later that this really is where he feels he is able to serve God best...

This small of kids showed up to have a tennis lesson this morning. It was reported to me later that they had a great time hitting some tennis balls.

Thought this was interesting...A construction site very near to the church where we are working in Bucharest.

I met this young man of 26 years of age in the park across from the church, his name is Ilie and he is in the military. There was a group of young men playing table tennis and Ilie wasn't who I was speaking with when he finished playing and sat down by Gabriel (young man I was sharing with). At first he seemed uninterested, but when Gabriel left he continued the conversation with perfect English (I used Share Jesus Without Fear with him)...He is searching for meaning to his life. He allowed me to quote scripture to him and then he answered what each one was saying. When I finished, I had shared the plan of salvation with him and when we talked about the "free gift" mentioned in Romans 6:23, and what it meant, the light bulb came on and as we discussed Romans 10:9 he began to see where he stood before a holy and righteous God. As we parted, he ask if I would e-mail him, and I got his address to do this. One of his friends that sat and listened to much of our conversation snapped the photo above. He said thank you and said he really enjoyed our talk...I will e-mail him and I hope he continues to search for meaning in his life.


Myself and Costel..He is always wearing this great smile every time I see him.

Sunday Evening Service

Vali Radu is the pastor at the church in Bucharest where we will work for the next three days.

This group presented a special number in English during the evening service.

Steve and Alicia also performed a duet in the evening worship time.

...And yes this time I remembered the battery pack.

First Day In Bucharest

Bob and Margie Craig (above), master missionaries in Bucharest, Romania. I was shopping with them when Margie purchased two intricate statues made out of clay. The potter that created them assumed that I was their son, and gave me a small magnetic sculpture for free (was 25 lei)!

They took us to one of the beautiful parks in Bucharest.
Steve's lunch...pepperoni pizza

Landon and I had a Shaorma.


One of the fountains near three of the universities...We took some time to Share Jesus and our testimony with some of the young people there.

I saw this last year as Troy zipped by the National Theatre.

Two young ladies we spoke to, Daniella and Nikoletta, two language students at the university.
Daniella was born four days before my daughter Whitney.

Some of the old men playing chess in the park.

In the park they e=were having a celebration with booths and entertainment of music and dance.
