Thankful

Since we just finished celebrating Thanksgiving, we thought we'd put up a few pictures of some recent visits with friends for whom we are thankful.
 
 
At the end of October, we enjoyed spending our team retreat near the beautiful city of Sighisoara.

 
We were privileged to visit several friends in the western part of the country in their ministry settings last week (the week of Thanksgiving).  Here we are with our friend Brodie, who serves at a Christian family-based orphanage community called Caminul Felix.

 
We spent one evening with our dear friend Susan, who is a missionary with Greater Europe Mission.

 
We welcomed our friends, Jeff & Lauren, to Timisoara.  When we saw them, they had only been in Romania for one week! 

 
We had an amazing American-style Thanksgiving dinner with several friends, new and old.

 
One of the greatest highlights of our trip was seeing our friend Lynn.  Lynn is returning to the States after 5+ years as a missionary in Timisoara.  We will miss you, Lynn!
 
"Enter his gates with thanksgiving,
    and his courts with praise!
    Give thanks to him; bless his name!
For the Lord is good;
    his steadfast love endures forever,
    and his faithfulness to all generations."
 - Psalm 100:4-5
