Interns arrive safely - heading for Romania (UPDATED)

Aubree and Seth arrived safely this week ---WELCOME!---and have begun some of their orientation to the city and work. More of the orientation and their language lessons will have to be put on hold until after we get back from Romania next Sunday.  We (our whole team) are leaving this morning for Cornesti, which is close to Timisoara, where we'll be helping with an aviation youth adventure camp. Gary will be teaching classes on the physics of flight (with spiritual principles tied in), and the rest of us will be helping with audiovisuals, sports, talking with the campers, etc.  Please pray for a safe trip for us, for safety in the ultra-lite flights during the camp, and for good opportunities to share our faith with the campers.

To learn more about the foundation and the camp, see their website at

There are also some great videos showing more about it on YouTube.  The first one is newer, the second one shows more of the history of the work (in it you can also see Gary and our son and daughter.)

I'll post more after we get back, including pictures, but need to go finish getting ready now.  Thanks for the prayers!  

UPDATE:  Camp went very well...we appreciate everyone's prayers!  Sorry it's taken me so long to post pictures.  I'm trying to do better about keeping you all updated.
