Subject: New Home - Bucharest!

Exhausted!
After a marathon of packing & moving, we have finally arrived here in Bucharest.
We are temporarily living in an apartment on the 7th floor that is just around the corner from "Ruby Tuesday's" restaurant!! (4 words: ribs and iced coffee!!!)
It has taken several days to get unpacked, but we are getting there. Sharon worked tirelessly for more than 3 weeks packing and unpacking our things. The bad news is that we will have to do this all over again come January/Feb. when we move to our new home.

Today also marks the first day of school for Sharon and the girls at the Bucharest Christian Academy. Sharon is teaching a class of 11 fourth graders. Please be praying for her! Please be praying for the girls, as well, as they make new friends and get adjusted.

As for my part, having been out of commission with "the move" these past few weeks, I will be spending the next few days catching up on all of my e-mail and record keeping.

Please keep us in your prayers as we adjust once again to new surroundings & a new city.


Doug, for the whole family
