Hello to all back in the States. Here are some more journal entries...

Tuesday

It is about 10:15 am and I am the only one here that is awake... Bryan has still not caught up with the time change. The parents Dorica and Adi are at work and Lorena and David (who Bryan keeps accidentally calling Deven because he is almost exactly like him) are at school. The family has cats... lots of them and these cats have lots of fleas and I have lots of flea bites, which I am allergic to lol. One cat likes to sleep with me and follow me around. Dumb cat. Yesterday it rained alot which means we sat inside and played cards all day. The family is nice but I am excited for today, we will be going to live with a missionary family. THEY ALL SPEAK FLUENT ENGLISH AND ROMANIAN. I am so ready for a change. We may be able to help teach Englaza (English) and finally we will have something to do. The food here is really interesting. Either I hate it or I love it. Their desserts are the best I have ever had though. I miss my family and friends dearly and I cannot believe I am already getting a little bit homesick.

June 1... not sure if this was Tues. or Wed. cause I am not sure what today is... they all blur together

Today I went to live with the missiionaries. It does not seem Romanian at all. It is much nicer than I ever though I would be living after seeing the last house I was staying in. The family is really nice and so is the English. This is a luxury in so many ways. They have a dishwasher! They are so rich. I now laugh that after 5 days I am already considering someone with a dishwasher and shower curtains rich. Dan (the dad) has given us so much information about Romania and tomorrow I get to hang out with poor old people. I must be dreaming. I have a dishwasher, Shower curtains, English and I get poverty stricken old people to talk with!I cant wait til tomorrow. Family and friends who are reading this, I am in love. You might as well go ahead and selling most of my stuff and rent my room out to people. I will need none of this where I am going. Now you may be thinking yeah she is in love with Hristos (Christ) and going to heaven and this is completely true and exciting but his is not what I am talking about. In 5 short days I have fallen in love with Romania. I will not need many posseions because I do not desire to be the rich missionary in the poor country. There is a huge need here for CHRIST and I could easily live here in a heart beat. I could get used to the food and the cold winters and having no AC/heating. In fact I may even grow to love these things. I always wanted to travel the world and I still do but I feel like I could stay in Romania forever.


I love and miss everyone. I will be home soon. eat some American food for me and pray for us on this incredible journey. I cant wait to go live with my dear friends at Haven for Hope in Lipova. Ready to leave Sabic but there is a reason we are here and not in Lipova and I pray that God will open my eyes to it. I cant wait to see all of yall in 21 days!

Te iubesc,
Kristina ( noone over here calls me Kristin due to the fact that in Romania all girls have an a at the end of their first name)
