We Have Arrived!

Sigisoara, Romania
After two days of travel through England, Ireland, and Hungary we are here in Romania! We have passed through five airports (Boston, Manchester UK, Dublin, Budapest and Tirgu Mures) and not once were we stopped by customs, the police or gate agents, we have not lost any luggage and we have not had to pay any sort of over-weight fees for our luggage even though every one of our bags was over the weight for one of flights!

God has truly been with us every step of the way. Here are a few photos of our journey to this point.

Cole and Jamie sleeping in Manchester UK during our 4 hour layover. This is 6 hours after leaving Boston, about 7am local time.



Jamie, Mischa and Danielle in Dublin. We spent the night with Cole's brother Fanel and his wife Monica in Dublin on the way to Sigisoara.












Fanel and Monica put on a wonderful dinner for us after our flights from Boston to Dublin (via Manchester). Thankfully, they also had coffee!








After arriving in Romania we went straight to Cole's parents house where they fed us a wonderful lunch and we tasted the spicy Romanian peppers. Here, Cole's mother and father look on while Cole smells the pepper to see how spicy it is.









On Sunday morning we attended Mana Church in Sigisoara. Cole's brother Pilu is the pastor here. This man led worship and we sang all Romanian songs. Even though the langugage was foreign there was no need to interpret the worship - the love of God came through clearly in the songs we sang.



After the church service, we met some of Cole and Jamie's friends.
















So that is all for now - we'll post again soon!
