October Update - 6 years and still not dull!

It has been five weeks since arriving back in Romania. We have already fast-forwarded into winter this past week with snow and some freezing temps. Getting re-adjusted to time and place, though, felt like I was going in slow motion reverse for a while, not good if you try to drive around here. By driving too early, I unfortunately dented my car going into my own garage! In my second week back I also caught a GI bug which also slowed me down a bit.

Right now I am concentrating on getting the business aspects of my non-profit up and running. Forms need to be written and translated and new protocols established. Most importantly, I am gathering information and meeting with folks with non-profit experience or bookkeeping and accounting experience. I want to process the monies accurately using some sort of accounting program and with the very different Romanian rules and regulations regarding finances, I know I cannot be too careful. The learning curve is great but little by little things are becoming clearer. I am also starting the visa process under my non-profit and will meet with the lawyer for help with that. Please pray along with me for all the decisions that need to be made – that I will rely on the Lord’s help. Thanks! At times it all feels overwhelming but He has seen me through everything so far and He is a God who does not forsake His children. We made it through the doctoral studies so anything is possible. Right?? Of course right!!

Rejoice with me that it has been six years this month since starting on this Romanian audiological and spiritual adventure. I said it would not be dull when I embarked on this journey and it certainly has been anything but dull!
