It’s been two months now in my new apartment. I’ve also enjoyed fixing it up and decorating it to make things bright and cheery.
The kitchen is decorated in a Granny Smith Apple green color all around and I bought a lovely corner table with wrap-around bench (thanks to Christmas monies!) that seats six comfortably. You will have to come for tea!
Last weekend took a 6 hr. train trip by myself to Suceava (sue-chah-vah), northeast from here, and visited my friend, Rachel – my first “mini-vacation” since coming to Cluj 6 months ago. Got to experience a bit of America there – a Mennonite-run orphanage for 60 orphans which produces all its own milk, ice cream, eggs, baked goods, meats and farm produce for themselves and for other orphanages in the area.
The language is coming along, slowly but surely. Regarding the start-up of the project in the hospital, after speaking with the ENT chief, it was decided to start things up in the hospital after Easter, probably around April 19th. I covet your prayers for the next stage of my life here.
Have a team retreat this week for three days outside of the city. Should be fun. Please note new mailing address on the front of this card. I had to change to a PO Box for practical reasons. Here’s hoping you are all well as well.
