What no shirts! Melinda's Poppa always said guys needed to wear shirts at the table. Of course it has been a joke in our family for years. Kyle and Nathaniel enjoying breakfast on the 27th. 
On the 27th we met up with two volunteers from Texas, Mike Phillips and Dr. Mark Kemp from Copperas Cove. We took them to the Village Museum before taking them to the hotel by the airport.
Nana also enjoyed seeing the different buildings at the Village Museum.
Nana also got to meet Dr. Gary Fenton and his wife, Alta Faye from Birmingham Alabama.
Nana was able to attend Ladies' Bible study with Melinda on the 28th and meet the ladies Melinda had been telling Nana about.

Nana, Nathaniel, Jordan and Kendall also had the opportunity to see some of our colleagues while they were here. On May 30th we had a going away party for Aura, our colleague who is returning to California on July 1st. Her Journeyman term is ending.

After church on June 1st we headed to the Bucharest Mall for lunch. In the picture family and friends - Kyle, Kendall, Jordan, Nana, Jennifer, Aura, Jerry, and Diana.
One thing I wanted all three of our boys to have done was to be measured. For the past 7 years we had been marking their heights on the inside pantry doorframe at the Piata Alba Iulia apartment (now the Browns' home). On June 1st Nathaniel, Jordan and Kyle went over and Dwayne measured them. Nathaniel's height is still the same 6' 1/4". 
Jordan is the shortest of the boys now (but taller than Roger). He is still 5' 10". 
Kyle has grown a tad and is now 5' 10 3/4" tall.
We enjoyed our time with our family. We are thankful the Lord provided the funds for all of them to come be here for Kyle's graduation and visit with friends.
