On March 29, Cameron ran his first ever 10k in the Old Center of Bucharest.  He did really well, with a time just under an hour!  That evening, we ate dinner at a great Mexican restaurant with some friends from Jessica's zumba class.  In April, we continued to meet with our small group, and Jessica continued her zumba classes.  Our church held a conference on forgiveness, which was very powerful, and its second baptism service, which was such a joyful occasion.  Jessica was also privileged to attend a bridal shower for a friend at church.  This year, the Orthodox Easter was on the same day at Easter in the US, so we celebrated Easter on April 20.  We received some traditional Easter food from two of our neighbors in our apartment building, which was so sweet.  Cameron preached on April 27 at our church.  May 1 is a national holiday in Romania (similar to US Labor Day), so we took a mini-vacation with some friends to the mountains!  Here are some pictures for your enjoyment:

 Lookin' good!

We love our new breakfast nook!

 Traditional Romanian food for Easter from our neighbor - cozonac (the swirly cake), pasca (Romanian cheesecake), and eggs dyed red to represent the blood of Jesus poured out for us on the cross.

 For Easter, two people hold their red eggs, crack them against each other, and see which egg cracks first.  The first person says, "Hristos a inviat!" (Christ is risen!), and the second person says, "Adevarat a inviat!" (He is risen indeed!).

 Cameron preached with Alex translating.

Beautiful Sibiu
