Hi Mom and Dad! Just a quick hello... we're on Day 5 now, back in Timisoara after a 7 hour van trip to a city in Transylvania yesterday. Not nearly as bas as the 14 hours on unpaved roads from Nairobi to Buramba, but still a test of our patience. The trip has been great so far, and I've gotten to know all of the girls and a couple of the guys really well. I miss you guys! Send my love to William, and if you talk to Dave and Gwen before I get back, please tell them I'm praying for them!
I love you! Kristina

Caitlin, Cody and Mason,
Hey guys! I hope camping was fun! Tell Bailey and Nina and Ms Jill hi for me. I wish I could be there with you guys. I miss you so much! Pray for me - I'm praying for you. We are having a great trip so far. We took a trip to Transylvania the last 2 days. It was 7 hours each way over very bumpy roads - my butt hurts! We are getting ready to do the VBS for the children next week and daddy has to preach at 1 or 2 churches this Sunday. The students are practicing skits and a couple are dressing up like clowns to invite children today.
Take care of mommy for me. I love you
Daddy (Bill)
Steve and anybody else:
Hey! Everythings going just fine and awesome, just thought you'd like to hear that! Not really much to say cause you've probably read everyone elses. Well I have to go cause we're starting, I had kitchen duty this morning so that's why I'm the last one to write,
Love ya!! Pam

hi Mom Dad & Garrett,
I am doing ok, we have been doing a lot of traveling. (Mom if I lived through the roads here, I don't think you have to worry about student drivers). We are ready to start the children's programs. Things have been really different than what I expected. Any way I'll see you soon. We are still speaking to each other, for now plan on picking me up at the church. I love and miss you. Have fun sailing Garrett.
