What's up with YOU?!?

I'm not a big fan of December around here, so I'll spare you the details. But, you can click on "comments" below and let me know who you are and what's going on in your corner of the world. It'll brighten up my gray December days!

Till then...here's some snapshots from the first 10 days of December.

December 1 is Romania's national holiday, not so much an "Independence Day" as a "Unification Day" when the three provinces were joined to form one independent nation.





During that same weekend, we took a group of teens and college students to a youth conference in Alba Iulia. Maybe someday I'll write about the somewhat traumatic process of getting there...


As part of the conference, each group was sent to a village church or church plant to minister during the Sunday morning service. Our kids did a great job in the little village church in Daia. For many of them, it was their first opportunity to minister in a church other than our own.



Also during that same weekend...the first mall in Targu Mures officially opened. It took me a week to finally get there, and I won't be rushing back anytime soon. But then, I'm not a big mall fan anywhere. Rumor has it that KFC might be coming to the mall someday soon, but I'm not holding my breath.


Last week we had our annual team meetings, talked about dreams & vision, and worked on next year's budget. Just as we were wrapping things up, the courier arrived from the publisher with student book #8 - The Exile and Return, hot off the presses.


Saturday we started rehearsals for the teens'Christmas program. Last night (Tuesday) they recorded the soundtrack for the program.


Some took the process a little more seriously than others. :)






And that's all I've got for you tonight.

At least the mall looks nice on the outside. Too bad it's falling apart on the inside..I wouldn't hold my breath about the KFC either...although Targu Mures is getting a little more up town
