Romania!!

Hey guys!! I'm here hanging out with the kays for Christmas.......It was so good to see them!! On christmas day I played in the snow with all the kay kids and we had a blast!! Don't let Daniel NEAR snow!! He's not that sweet little boy we all know when it comes to snow! Anyways, I've already been to the place where the kays work(not allowed to say the name) a couple of times.....It's pretty neat what they are doing there. Right now they go there a couple of hours everyday and read the chronicles of Narnia. Yesturday the kids were too excited about vacation and going home and so hyped up on christmas candy that they couldn't sit still and would come in and out of the room screaming and laughing and playing.......All the kay kids are much bigger and Kristina talks like a normal person now and doesn't have that cute little baby voice anymore......She still has her cute laugh though.....The kays are excited about being here and are enjoying learning the language......They're doing pretty well with that! Keep them in your prayers! Love from Romania! ~Christina

HEY EVERYONE!! Happy Holidays and stuff!! Sorry I haven't updated.........Actually the reaon is that I think it's boring to read unless you have pictures to go with it.....The Moldovan connection very RARELY allows me to do that! Anyways, since "update Chrisina" people want an update. = ) So, lately I haven't been doing much....I teach English on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and on the weekends we go to Chisinau (the capital) to just hang out and relax from village life. Oh, and it' COLD!!! You people who are coming in January, It's colder than it was last year!! Course it's not January yet but, we'll see! My friend Oxanna told me about this church called Holy Trinity...They have english services on Saturday nights for some kids who are learning english. It's SOO COOL!! It's my new youth group..I love it!! Then there's another church I go to sometimes called God's design..It's a russian church...It's like a curch for youth and they have Bible studies and then a concert.......So UN-moldovan!! The concerts are more like secular concerts in the states. I mean, there's kids EVERYWHERE smoking and drinking but it amazes me how many come to it!! There's like hundreds of Teens and college kids from all over Chisinau that go. It's AWESOME! Those of you who have been here, know what I'm talking about! The people at this church are just excepting the kids how they are unlike the rest of the christian Moldovans....they are loved there and all the God' design people are EXTREMELY friendly!! And Best of all, they are wittnessed too........It's unbelievable!! It doesn't feel like Moldova at all but then I realize that God has His eye on this country and they really are cared for! It's just so great! AND, it's a Moldovan who started all this!! He's a really neat guy....... So, this weekend sometime, I'm gonna upload a picture of 2 of our english students and tell you about them. They are SOO excited! I told them that I have this website and that they'll will be on it. So, you'll have to come back and look at that.... = ) O.k, well......I think that's all.....I'm going to Bucharest, Romania to spend Christmas with a family that used to go to our church.....I'll probably take a train so, that'll be fun.....I'll tell ya about that lata!! Talk to you guys soon!! Love and miss yall!! Christina By the way, CERI people that are coming, CAN'T WAIT TILL YOU'RE HERE!! I miss yall SOOO much! Moldova is just not the same without ya!! LATA!!
