At our final concert tonight, in the Philharmonic Hall in Timisoara, there were only about 40 people in attendance. Somehow, this didn't really affect us, at least not negatively. I don't know about everyone else, but I totally went for it. I sang my heart out like I'd never get to sing these songs again (mostly because I probably won't), and like ( Read more... )

Well...there are just two full days left in Romania before we board the plane Wednesday morning. Supposedly, at the Crusade tonight, they were supposed to have announced our concert at the Philharmonic tomorrow. I didn't notice it if it did happen, but I'm okay with the possibility that it didn't, because I'm pretty sure telling like 10,000 people ( Read more... )

The above link is an article about the second night at the Franklin Graham Crusade, at which we sang two songs and shared the stage with Dennis Agajanian, an amazing American guitarist! I also totally smiled at Franklin, and he told us all that we did a great job. :) I'd love to write ( Read more... )

The last couple of days have been rather hard for me. It's 2:30 in the morning, and I should really be sleeping, so I'll have to keep this short. I don't know exactly what's happening in my heart, but it hurts. It's a sort of detachment...like I might be approaching the end of something, and I'm preparing myself to say goodbye forever. I don't ( Read more... )

Hey everyone,

I found the USB port on the computer -- woohoo! Haven't gotten a hold of Megan's SD card, which is where the video of us singing Numai Harul is, so that will come soon. BUT I did upload the first of what will be MANY facebook photo albums, and I'm pasting the link here for your viewing pleasure. Captions will come soon...but it's ( Read more... )

Yesterday seemed to be a somewhat difficult day for a lot of people. Maybe it was just me...but I felt like I wasn't the only one feeling sort of bleh. It's probably that mid-trip funk that happens on missions, where you begin to realize that you're about halfway to home and you have mixed feelings about that fact: part of you wants to have more ( Read more... )

We have finally arrived in Lugoj, where we will stay with the same host families for the remainder of our trip. This means we don't have to lug our baggage around from place to place, and we can actually do some laundry, get to know our hosts, and just feel a little bit "settled" for awhile. I'm really thankful for all of those things. And I'm ( Read more... )

Getting online twice in one day...saweeet! :) Our host family tonight was very excited to allow us their internet, so we are very happy to indulge in their offerings. Anyway, still not a lot of time as I don't want to monopolize the computer, and I also am looking forward to getting to sleep before midnight!

Anyway, tomorrow we will do some sight- ( Read more... )

Last night's concert was...stunning. Awesome -- like, literally AWE-some. I couldn't help but cry because I knew I was in God's presence. That is such a wonderful feeling...especially when you get it while singing songs that have been sung so many times you tend to forget the magnitude and beauty of the words you are speaking.

Anyway...not much ( Read more... )
