Welcome to our blog!
I am not sure how much writing we will do but we will be adding pictures from time to time. We began our blog in Romania where we lived for over nine years. The Lord called us to Romania in 1998 (arriving in Feb. 1999). We had an amazing adventure with Him. He allowed us to see him minister in many ways in Romania. We were able to see first hand political and economic changes but also enjoy its beauty when we were out in the countryside. Checkout the Bucharest and Romania slideshows on this blog.
We are now back in Texas waiting to see what the Lord has planned for us.
MEW Week October 2008
The week of October 20th we took part in the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor's Mission Emphasis Week (MEW). This was our 2nd time to do this. (The first time in October 2005.) We enjoyed getting to meet the other missionaries and hearing about their work and also meeting the students. The Lord is raising up some great students on fire and ready to be used by him in his service.
