16 Days in Romania !

       On June 15th at 6:45 PM Terry left Dulles International Airport for what
       would be 16 long days in Romania! Although he didn't know it then.....

       His overnight flight to Europe had him landing in Paris at 8:25 AM
       with no sleep! He had a 2 hour layover then it was off to Bucharest with
       another 3 1/2 hour layover and a final flight to Timisoara, Romania
       landing at 6:35 PM. That's 24 hours of flights & layovers, with very little
       sleep....not the best way to start a massive building missions trip!!

      He was picked up after church by Jonathan & Kristy (the ones who needed
      help at their house). After a not so restful night, it was off to the work!
      Much planning & getting of materials that first day. But there was also work
      going on too! Concrete stairs to try to bust out! Thankfully they decided to
      rent a saw!

      I'm not going to give you a day by day account of everything... I wasn't
      there! But I do know he started putting 10 - 12 hour days in, even though
      he ended up with a cold that he picked up once he arrived there! And
      once Jason got there (a man from our church who, thankfully, went to help)
      they increased to 15 - 18 hour days! The final day they did not sleep at
      all! They worked until 2 AM, packed their suitcases & headed to the
      airport at 4!

      He arrived home completely exhausted! They were not able to get all the
      work finished, but they were able to get it to the point that the missionaries
      could get it finished! Below are some before & after pictures....

Those concrete stairs!

I'm sorry these are so small, they were
taken with a phone (I believe). It gives
you an idea of just what those stairs were
like!

Finished & Painted!

   And just a few more....

         This is the hall looking out the front door....with Jason laying tile there in the
         corner of the picture.

Finished!

 

 

 

 

         The finished pictures were sent to us by e-mail from Jonathan & Kristy after
         they painted & cleaned up the place!

         While they were there they also fixed a leak in the church roof...sorry, no
         pictures. It was a good, long, tiring trip! They were glad to be able to be a
         help to one of our missionaries though!
