We have arrived! The flight was long, but uneventful - which is a good thing. We had a 7 hour layover in Frankfurt. The airport had recliner loungers placed in a relatively obscure place that enabled some of us take a much needed nap. All of our luggage arrived in Chisinau, PTL! We also went through customs with very little problem. One team member was taken into a room and was repeatedly asked for money, but she handled it very well. She kept saying "I do not understand" and they quickly let her go through.

Our accomodations are wonderful! Very clean and comfortable. We all slept well and have been fed well. Moldova is a land of contrasts with old apartments and laundry hanging on balconies to beautiful rose gardens. We are blessed to be here.

Today we had a spa event for area women missionaries. It was great fun and a blessing to those women that attended. We did manicures, hand treatments, back massages, gave gift bags, ate great food and were able to pray for the women that were here.

I will send pictures with the next posting - my batteries died in my camera and the new ones are back with my luggage. Tomorrow we go to church. Three of us will sing and two women will be giving a testimony. Pray that the Lord would use us for His glory.
