So-  we don't actually know when we are leaving yet.  We thought it might be August, but now it will be in early September.  We are so excited to go, that we kind of feel like we are in limbo... loving spending time with family and friends, while wondering what our new life will be like!

Things we know:
-we will start language school pretty soon once we get there
-we will live in some type of apartment (think Eastern Euro block apt)

Things we don't know:
...everything else

For a person who could be considered type A, the unknown is a little scary, because it is, well, un-known.  But a freeing part of being a Christ-follower, is that I am not a slave to my own planning/organization "issues."  There is freedom in knowing that however and whenever I get to Romania, God is preparing each step of the way for his purpose.

One thing I am sure of; I have only a small glimpse of what the Lord's purpose and intention is for us over there.  And how exciting is that?!

  We have been in Brasil for about a week now, and we are LOVING it!  Probably because we have gotten to spend time with some really great friends, Leo and Tati, and their new, adorable, perfect, beautiful baby, Bella!
  We have seen many sights, eaten LOTS of food and had a great time just being with our friends.  This is just one goodbye in a long series of goodbyes that are to come before leaving for Romania.  So, needless to say we are NOT looking forward to leaving on Saturday.  But, such is life, and we still have a few more days of fun left!  More pictures coming soon!
