Rise and shine.  Didi and I reported to Grace Christian School at 9:00am.  We helped out in a class of 3-4 year olds for a period of time.  I knew and remembered about 90% of the class from Mar/Apr 2010.  The children were quite active and excited to have new and different faces, but our time was cut short as Didi started going down hill fast.

We paid a visit to nurse in the school clinic where w were able to observe the ministry that the Nurse, Tamara Nelson, has with the children attending Grace Christian School.  During our stay in the nurse's office we saw a young man that had gotten some type of scratches on his chest and sunburned shoulders, a little girl with a toothache, another little girl with a boo-boo on her foremarm (she got an Ariel-Little Mermaid bandaid), two boys came into her office and played with her stethescope, one hid under her desk and a few other mishaps... and not.  Some just wanted to say hi and be acknowledged and receive a chewable vitamin.  They all received love, care and attention from Nurse Tamara.  Didi was given a nasal spray and placed on antibiotics.  Needless to say, we were unable to continue our day working at the school with the children.

Now, Tamara and her husband, Randy, are missionaries that have been transplated from St. Louis to Lugoj, Romania.  Permanently!  They sold their home in the U.S. and got a place in Lugoj in City Centre.  They are working within the community surrounding the Brickyard.  We were able to obtain quite a bit of information from them regarding full time international missions, preparation, logistics, paperwork & documents, expenses...  We will definitely be keeping in touch with them and partnering with their ministry in the future.

After our time with Tamara and Randy, we walked to PC 3/4 to invite a few of the young people "off campus" on Wednesday evening.  Upon return to Grace Baptist Church Dean and I prepared to attend the English Program put on by the Grace Chrisitan School Kindergarten.

The video highlights were well put together and quite entertaining.  The children were so proud to receive their certificates of completion and their giant chocolate chip cookie and their parents were extremely proud.  There were 400 people in attendance and a few outside that could not gain entry to the theatre as it was at maximum capacity.  Also, the Ladies of One Heart (LOOH) were acknowledged and thanked for making the school uniforms.

We had a lovely dinner with the Olariu family, Sandra and Haley and another American missionary serving at the school, Rachel.
