Gordon & Ivona ++++

At the end of February, we had the pleasure of Gordon, Ivona, Emily, Jonathan, and Ivona’s parents Sandu & Rodica coming!

The occasion was dampened just a bit when Emily & Jonathan got sick Sunday afternoon and Monday…

…although, we celebrated Gordon’s birthday on Tuesday in fine fettle…

…all had Bible study in Mom’s room on Wednesday, complete with two-way translation…

…then in the pre-dawn hours of Thursday morning, Gordon and I were sick, too. Sigh!

We had good care from the household of people, though :-)…and by Friday Gordon was recovered enough to drive them all home.

It was so nice to see Sandu & Rodica again, (and indeed to have them here!) who I have known since going to Romania in 1990. Mother was also in their home in Romania, and I believe she recognized them, and was quite impressed and pleased to see them again!

I’ll leave pictures until the next post…
