We are all meeting in Sibiu on Saturday where we will be picked up by Debbie (Heart of Hope director) and she will be taking us to camp.
Please pray that we are all healthy, safe and ready to start camp this next week. Also pray that everything will be ready for Monday when the kids come to camp. We will have 70 boys and girls come that day. Please pray for their safety as they travel to camp and health as they arrive at camp.
We will update you on our last two weeks once we arrive at camp. Thank you all for your prayers.

Passport!
Frank, Vanessa and Mitch were able to get up to Sibiu and Frank was able to get back his passport. We are tired, but doing well.
Today it was hot, with occasional rain periods. Tomorrow I head up to Cluj to visit family and the other three are off to continue their adventures around the country.

Arrived Safely!
We left Portland at 1:05 PM. We slept, ate, read and watched movies on our 10.5 hour flight to Frankfurt. In Frankfurt, Germany we had enough time to go through all the security check points before making to the gate and getting to relax for a little bit before we were on our next flight to Romania.
The flight was 1.5 hours. It was bumpy and we were feeling a little nauseous when we got off the plane. We passed through passport control and we were off to get our luggage. All pieces of luggage arrived and we were on our way out to meet our driver. We were asked by multiple people if we wanted a taxi to which we responded "no thank you" but they kept walking with us telling up how they had the best fares.
The weather was hot and humid, we were tired and a little delirious.
We put all our luggage in the van and we were on our way to drop off Frank, Vanessa and Mitch as they were staying in Bucharest to explore the country.
Amber (the intern at the camp), Florin (our driver) and I were off on our 6 hour drive to the camp. Amber and I were sleeping on and off. Sweating like crazy.
We arrived at the camp where it was nice and cool. Met the California team.
As I was getting my stuff together to leave the camp I noticed a bag. After looking inside I realized it was Frank's with some of his clothes and his passport. We tried to call and find where they were but was not able to, so we emailed them with the phone number and this morning we were able to talk.
We will be meeting in Sibiu and off again to explore the country.
Thank you all for you prayers and continue to pray for our health and safety.
