"No room at the inn"

SAT.

The pork killing was an EXPERIENCE!!! The boys have nothing on the girls now.

Word got out that something was happening at the church. The door kept opening and closing and children kept coming in. It was standing room only!!! Remember the story about the 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish??...Well He did it again!!!! Our faith was tested but God came through. We even had a few baggies left.

SUN.

We traveled to Girsu Negru for a Romanian church service. The music was awesome. The team members shared their personal testimonies and sang "Silient Night" and "Joy to the World" it's a good thing they couldn't understand us because we are sure it wasn't pretty. Randy gave a sermon based on Joesph and his obedience to God. We think God was smiling...worshiping Him in different languages but all the same messages. After the morning service we were invited to homes in the village for lunch.

We returned for the afternoon worship service. Once again the music and worship was beautiful. They played handbells and sang for us. After the service Pam read Follow the star to Bethleham. We think that the adults enjoyed it as much as the children. It was followed by a birthday cake with candles and the children singing Happy Birthday Jesus in Romanian. Just what Christmas should be about!!

We stayed in the village for handbell practice. By look on their faces you could tell how pleased they were with themselves. Many of the bells are donated by First Baptist Ocala. What a blessing it is to see them being played by young children.

Please continue to pray while we travel to hospice homes tomorrow and our (health we have a few scratchy throats among the group). All in all the team is good and feeling blessed!!!!!!!!! Love to all!!!!!!
