Back in Pitesti

It is Monday and I have returned to Pitesti. Liviu, Ben and I arrived in the early afternoon and we are making plans for our evening here. I would like to go down into the center of town this evening and hand out some flyers. Our studies with Florena and her friends will begin again tomorrow. Like us, Florena was in Bucuresti for the weekend - and to worship with the church in Bucuresti.

Sunday was an interesting day in many ways. There was a group of Americans from Florida who had been in Bucuresti for a time. These were teachers who had been invited by the church in Bucuresti to come and work with them. Their status in the church here was different than ours, as we (Ben and I) were simply visitors. That is certainly as it should be. The church in Bucuresti had not invited us to come and work with them. Our work is in other places with those who had asked us to come and help them in the gospel. It just happens that we are in Bucuresti now for the weekends. I am looking forward to being in Bucuresti next weekend, our last before we return to the US on June 3.

There is much that happened yesterday that needs a fuller discussion and perhaps in time I will revisit our visit to Bucuresti and relate some of the things that happened. But, for now I will take some time to reflect on things that were said to me by some of the Christians there.
