March

The last few weeks have been quite busy. March 1st was our first Sunday fellowship meal. We all enjoyed the wonderful foods and great fellowship. It was good to see everyone after our furlough.

Ryan Bunge arrived on March 3rd, and has been helping out quite a lot. He had the chance to meet the director of the deaf school here, and is hoping that she will allow him to do some voluteer work there with the students. He had the chance to spend some time with the students, and really enjoyed it. He has met a few people that are interested in studies. With these and the students that Lee has been able to get back in touch with, the study schedule is filling up quite quickly.

March 6th we had a hamburger/ hotdog cookout after our Friday Bible class. We all had a really good time visiting and laughing and eating.

Sunday, March 8th was Mother's Day here. All of the mothers were presented with a rose on Sunday morning. Those who were not mothers were sent home with one to give to their mother or another mother.

March 11th we started our Wednesday night Bible study up again.

Ryan and Lee have also been putting cork on the movable walls. This will enable us to use these walls for VBS much more effectively. They also look really nice too. We have some more of theese walls being made and also one that will be made into a puppet theater. Some of these walls are going to used to create a nursery for our young mothers with babies and small children.

The girls got behind with their schooling while we were on furlough, so they have been very busy getting caught back up. Alice, one our young ladies from church, has agreed to come and help out with the schooling and our language studies. This has been a tremendous blessing for me, as I was getting extremely overwhelmed with trying to keep up with everything.

The young ladies from church have been working diligently on preparing skits and making plans for our lock-in which will take place April 10th. We have also been making plans to attend a lock-in in Oradea at the end of this month.

The weather here has been very wet. It generally snows in the morning and rains the rest of the day. The pictures show what it looked like this morning when I looked out. The girls had lots of fun playing in the snow at the park and making a snowman. Except for Sarah who believes Saturday's are for sleeping.
