The WC Event

Our Bible/English institute doesn't get started until next Monday so we are making plans for this week and trying to figure out what the best course might be. I will post our plans once they are finalized.

It is important when you are traveling overseas to keep a good sense of humor about things. Last night we went across Bucharest to visit a small church and see how they are reaching out to the city. The group was friendly but the service was long and hot. Afterwards, I was standing in the lobby with Dana and I saw a sign with the letters "WC" on it and an arrow pointing down some stairs. I thought I would have a little fun with Dana so I told her that the sign indicated that the "Women's Church" had met downstairs and she would have enjoyed being a part of that.

To prove the point, just at that moment a woman appeared from downstairs and I pointed to her and indicated that she had just come from that service. Dana seemed to take it in good fun and I thought she realized that "WC" stood for "Water-closet" (a.k.a. Bathroom).

Later, we were sitting in the car and Dana started chastizing Bubba about not telling her that the women had a special service downstairs. He, of course, didn't know what she was talking about. I, on the otherhand, couldn't stop laughing about it and Dana soon caught on that she had been had. We've all been laughing about it since.

Overall, we are settling in fine. There are enough Romanians who speak English that we are having few communication problems with them. The weather is warm but not yet unbearable. It is the beginning of cherry season and we are getting some great fruit. For lunch yesterday, we enjoyed the Romanian national soup.... chorba. Yum!

All is well. More later.
