My big fat gatecrashed wedding

Well that's it! I can't believe it's over. Today I had the chance to go back to the Golgota church and preach. {Always enjoy going there} I've been given a few free c.d's of pastor radu's wife's album {some of the songs she performed at the concert} and so I will be handing out a few copies to others {provided they speak Romanian...'of course'}. I did the tourist thing yesterday. We had a long walk all the way along the promenade that runs alongside the Danube river. I have lots of photos. We visited a Romanian orthodox church {spectacular}, went to the art museum {we got there 10 minutes before it closed but it was still worth it} and also gatecrashed a wedding at a Greek orthodox church. {again very spectacular interior}

This evening I was hoping to go to Braila with pastor Titi who was due to preach there but this afternoon he got a message from pastor Ovi that they wanted me to preach at the Trinity church {which I was happy to do {decided on what to preach about 40 minutes before the service started!} The whole thing went really well. I took one of the sermons I had with me, kept the opening two scriptures, rewrote the rest of the intro and touched on one or two points from my notes while preaching the rest off the cuff. I really got going and enjoyed it. {I knew I would} The sermon worked out as I intended. I had most of the things I wanted to say in my head by the time I started anyway so I barely used my notes at all {You know it's going well when that happens}.

We fionished off with a late meal at pastor Ovi's apartment and when I got back to Titi's he offered me more food. {Of course I said yes!}. So I'm sitting here very well fed and due to get up at 4 next morning to catch the train to Bucharest. The experiences have been many and various. It's late, I'm happy {But tired}and I'll probably diseminate it all in my mind in the next day or two. For now I would say among the highlights were the concert, meeting Troy, leading Narchissa to Christ....and...so many more. {I think I need to just sleep now. {5.5 hours before I have to get up again}

A very big thankyou to all of you who have been praying for me. The Trinty church, Golgota church and Stiocan church send you their greetings. It just remains for me to say....
...Dumnezeu sa te Binecuvinteze! {God bless you!}
