And so it begins

Well, it's 2 in the morning and we're hanging out with one of Katie's friends who is a "worker" here. The flight all went well, we even got a free upgrade on our 8 hour flight, which makes a big difference! As our flight landed in Turkey, I looked at Katie and said, "well, here goes not being able to communicate with most people for 3 months!" You can pray for us on that one, as I am a big communicator, and it really frustrates me not to be able to do so. I'm going to get a Romanian tutor this summer, but how much can you really learn in two months? As I was at the airport listening to people from all different nations talking to each other, I wondered what it would have been like at the tower of Babel. When you go to a different country, you expect not to understand people, and it's still a bit shocking. Imagine one day you just can't communicate with just about anyone around you. That must have been a rough day... Moral of that story, do what God says.

Anyways, we're pretty excited for the next week. A week from today, we meet up with the missionaries that we'll be staying with for the summer in Moldova. Until then, Katie and I will spend a week making our way up to Moldova, which is 3 countries away. This is our one week of being alone. This will be our first week of being alone, not having homework, just spending time together. It'll be great. Then the big adventure begins and we will move into a family style orphanage, which is a small house with two parents and 8 kids ages 6-17, and then us. Craziness. And only one of them speaks English...a little. Alright, I should go to be to try to kill this jetlag thing. We'll keep you guys up to speed!
