Back from Romania







As you may know, my one year furlough is nearing its end. I was given the opportunity to go to Hungary and Romania this month and I hoped that during the trip, I would have answers as to where God wanted me to serve Him.
Well, I just spent 11 days in those countries (and am still a bit jet lagged!) It was an interesting trip to say the least. It was not at all what I expected but I keep reminding myself that there are no surprises to God. It was an emotional journey and an eye-opening one. I am not entirely sure why God had me go but I do know that He will reveal His plan for me when He chooses to do so. One thing He did reveal to me is that my work in Ecuador is not over. I already had a trip planned for the 2nd of August. Originally I was thinking I would go back and tie up loose ends. Now I know that I'm going to move back to Quito on that date. So the loose ends needing to be tied up are on this end, in the states. I have a little over a week to get things ready for my trip. It's definitely sudden and that scares me a bit. Overall, I am very excited to go back and see my little ones, and get started on the rest of my life!
