Vorbesc Engleza! Vorbesti Romaneste!

I speak English! You speak Romanian!

I have had the opportunity to help a young lady with an assignment from her English class. She first asked me if I would write a letter for her. I thought, sure! Then, I figured out it was her homework, so we did it together. It's such a blessing that God would use such a simple thing, such as the language we speak, to help connect people ... even if that language is different.
I am also embarking on Romanian language lessons, again. I was talking to a girl from the Children's Home on the phone and she said that she only spoke little English. I said I only spoke little Romanian, so we decided to get together for 1/2 an hour each time we visit the Children's Home and work on the opposing language. I'm excited to get started!
Dana and I working hard on her letter.
Aurelia and Roxana hardly working on anything but laughter!
