Recap: Getting to Romania

                  Recap: Getting to Romania

I know it has been a little while since I have blogged, but hopefully you received a newsletter from us Georgebells about a week ago in your email inbox. If you are not signed up to receive email and snail mail newsletters you can give us your information here: http://missionromania.f-pc.org. Remember to add a note in the comments section letting us know you want to be added.  Anyways, as with most moves, our move has gone by like a whirlwind. Since our last blog post Lydia enjoyed her 4th birthday, Chay lost 3 teeth, and we have finally moved in to our new home in Romania.

Thursday, July 9th was our big day. We departed from George Bush Intercontinental Airport at 3pm and made our way to Bucharest, Romania arriving about 24 hrs later. I was nervous that so many hours of travel with our three children was going to be painstakingly hard and long but they were amazing! 

It also helped that we had 10 people traveling with us with one goal: to help us on our move. We are so thankful to God for everyone who spent their time and money to help us because a move so far is physically and emotionally taxing! 

                                                                  We love you guys!!!

After days of hard work cleaning our new house and yard, done almost entirely by our “team” from Fellowship Church, we hosted a house warming party and invited other missionaries and workers from Hope Church. We tried our best to serve Tex-Mex with the ingredients we had and it turned out pretty good. 

Oh and I almost forgot, we officially bought our house!! In Romania, the land has to be owned by a Romanian citizen but can be “operated” by a citizen of another nationality. So some of our new friends and fellow youth workers came with us to buy the house and land with us. Thank you Alex and Ancuța (pronounced Ann cootz a)!!  

There is much to be done before our official ministry is started. Our primary focus for the next couple of months will be learning the culture and learning the language. Please be in prayer for us for language learning, it is much needed! :)  

Grace be with you,

the Georgebells
