Pizza Party with the Youth
Last night was a blast, we had an extra treat to be able to join in on the church's youth pizza party. There were about 30 youth ranging in age from 16-30. We had Romanian pizza with eggs and corn and no tomatoe sauce. We had to add ketchup, spicy or mild on after if we wanted. Actually it was really good. Watch out Dominoes!! It was fun meeting all the youth that are involved with the summer camp ministry with Blackhawk. They all send a big ,"Buna Ziua" to all the youth back home, especially Nate since they have now met his mom. We spent today finishing preparations for leaving for our retreat tomorrow morning. We are so excited to minister and serve these women. More to come!! We are all doing great and staying healthy. Love you all and miss you!!!!

Financial Seminar
Last night was the first of two financial seminars. We had a full, diverse crowd of Romanians, who took a lot of notes and asked a lot of questions. Karen led the night with Rich translating. The average monthly income of a Romanian is between $300-$500 per month. Stand alone home ownership is not common. Most people live in small apartments that they own. An average apartment costs $60,000. They are all looking forward to the next seminar on Tuesday, when they will come back with worksheets completed and have a chance to ask questions.
