Here I am lying on a piece of new real estate I recently purchased – yes, you got it, a new mattress!! Much needed and delightful.
Just a short update to fill you in that after 5-6 weeks I feel that body, soul and spirit are more oriented and grounded here. Health is good! PTL! Our weather right now is in the 50’s. Currently seeing patients in the Petros clinic two days a week. Arrived home yesterday exhausted after speaking Romanian all day with patients. At least the language is coming along. At the pediatric hospital, I will be meeting the new doctor next week.
I finished my course and am still enjoying a few days of my two-week break before another course starts up this Monday. This weekend I will be renting a car and going to Lugoj, 5 hours away, to see the little boy, Silviu, in his familiar surroundings. If I can get a full audiogram from him, then his family will not have to come to Cluj for the special testing with sedation. Pray with me for success and safe travel. Thanks!
Then next week on March 5th, I leave for Dubrovnik, Croatia with two other missionary ladies to attend a FREE woman's conference/retreat for American missionary ladies. They pamper us, so it will definitely be worth the 24 hours by train (with no sleeper) and 4 ½ hours by bus to get there. Right?!?!? Of course, right!! Yes, it will be a fun adventure as long as we are traveling together. Our travel will take us through Budapest, then Zagreb, then Split on the Adriatic and then on to Dubrovnik and returning on March 10th. So, please pray for travel mercies for Kitty, Laura and I.
Those are all the delights for now. Hope this update is finding you all well.
