My First Romanian baptism
by Christina Semon (Posted 10/23/2009)

Dear Supporters, Greetings in the Lord! I want to share with you an experience I had in which I witnessed my first Romanian baptism. Here is how it happened. Wednesday at the PTFC we hold a meeting for the mothers. At this meeting they discussed their problems and listened to others. Then if the staff can offer some advice, they share it. It was my first time attending such meetings. Laura is one of the single mothers who has a son named Dragost. She was crying for...

My Life in Romania (So Far)

Thank you for your prayers! They have been very important to me because, in addition to normal enculturation, I have been going through several other changes in my life here in Romania, which I will describe below. I want to share with all of you my daily living situation since the last time I wrote. In the first week of July, I moved into another apartment.

Christina Semon 2009 Spring Update
by Christina Semon (Posted 7/2/2009)

Greetings to all of you from Romania! Since I arrived in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, I have immersed myself as much as I can in the language, culture, and relationships.

In addition to my daily interactions with Romanians, I am contributing some of my time to the St. Dimitrie Program and...
