Second Serghei picked us up this morning at 7:40 to make the trip once again to Balti, to study with the women in the church there. There were fewer of them today than on Wednesday, but they appreciated the study. We just got back a few minutes ago (it's 2:30 pm) and it's almost time to head to the airport.
These two/three days here to learn our way around, meet the brethren, and learn where the various studies are have been useful...and full! It seems impossible that we have been here only two whole days (plus 2 parts of days). So many new experiences, new sights, how could it all have happened in so short a time? Of course we'll be heading back here for a month of work, and the other two Americans present will be leaving right after our return here. Spending time with them has been very useful for getting acquainted with things here, and I'm really looking forward to the work ahead.
For now though, it's off to the airport and a week in the Czech Republic. This week is personal time for me, though I'll be teaching on at least 4 occasions while there. It will be great to be in the country where I spent five years of my life, and to be with old friends and see the sights of Prague and South Bohemia.
I've been taking lots of pictures. I hope to get some of them in the Blog soon! Easy process, but I always have only a few minutes to update the blog and choosing pics gets eliminated! I should have more time this coming week.

Hello Darryl and Nathan,
I really enjoyed catching up today on all your adventures - perhaps because you are living your lives to the absolute maximum capacity in a very brief period of time is why it is hard to believe such a short time has passed. You are doing such a good job of cramming things into available minutes.
Please share with the Christians with whom you are, and will be, meeting that folks like us are praying for them, their souls, and their ever-growing love for God.
Natalie
Darryl, Please tell Tammi & Robert "hello" for us. I'm so thankful we have this way of keeping up with your journey. You are in our prayers!
