New Semester

 At the beginning of this semester, I went to pick up my parents once they arrived back in Romania. Then, after I came back to the college to start my junior year of Bible College. Once I got here, not even a week into the semester, I got really sick and stayed at home to recover. Once over the sickness came back, and enjoyed reconnecting with old friends and then making new friends. Every weekend, I go home to Hunedoara to help in the ministry there as I am the only piano player of the church, but to also help my parents with whatever they need around the house. Last weekend (October 10-13), I took the three men in the picture to Hunedoara to help dad with cutting the firewood for the winter. They were a huge blessing as they got more done in one day than we get done in a couple of weeks. šŸ˜… From left to right, you have me (Briana), JosuĆ©, who is a missionary kid from Spain and is in his first year at the Bible College, and next to him is Dimitri, who is also a freshman and came to the college from Greece, and finally, you have Avenir, who is from Russia. These guys also had the opportunity to serve in the church, from singing in the church for a couple of specials, JosuĆ© played the piano for all the specials, and most of the congregational hymns.  JosuĆ© and Dimitri also got to share their salvation testimony, or how they ended up coming to the college. Not only did they work, but we also went a did a little sightseeing. I took them during the day to the Corvin Castle so they could see the inside, and then took them in the evening so they could see it all lit up at night. Lord willing, we will have another group come to cut some more wood again very soon.
