How is it possible that I've been back in the US for over 4 months already? "They" say that time flies when you are having fun. I say that time flies when you are busy, whether you are having fun or not!
But, for the most part, I have been having fun. The first two months were packed with conference and training times at ABWE, reconnecting with my family and my church family, and trying to establish a new sense of "normal" (whatever that is!). The last two months have been filled with lots of visits to churches, some of them my supporting churches & some new friends. Oh, and a quick trip back to Romania and then to Greece for the biennial regional conference for all ABWE missionaries in Central & Eastern Europe & the Mediterranean (CEEMed). I'll try to post some pictures from that trip in the next couple of days.
Yesterday I spoke at First Baptist of Middleville, the last of my current supporting churches. Please be praying that I will be able to schedule more churches to fill my schedule for the winter & spring. Pray, too, that God would bring in the remaining $600/mo. in support that I need before returning to the field.
I find myself talking (to myself) in Romanian a lot these days, mostly because I miss speaking it, I think. So, can I speak a little Romanian to you, too? La revedere. O seara placuta! (Goodbye. Have a pleasant evening!)

Moving on...
If you are one of the faithful few who still check this address occasionally, never fear. I will return. I promise. However, the blog that was formerly located at this address has been relocated to http://therealraconteur.blogspot.com. I'm attempting to organize things a little better. Thus, this blog will maintain the traditional title from my prayer updates, "The Raconteur" and will focus primarily on ministry updates. The other blog (the "old" blog) will continue the purpose for which it was originally begun: documenting the parts of my life that don't fit into a "prayer letter" format. Check back after September 1st, when I will officially launch this new blog!
