The Olsons, Pattersons and crew, left early on Saturday morning and made the 7 hour drive from Sighisoara to Suceava.  We got there around 2:00pm and were able to spend about 4 hours with the family.  Kara was able to see her mother, grandma, 5 sisters, 1 brother, two cousins, two nieces and two nephews.  It was overwhelming, but God worked it out.  Many neighbors stopped by and said they remembered Kara when she was very young running around the village and they were anxious to see her.  We learned more about Kara's father and siblings.  They seem to be doing quite well.  The village doesn't look like much, but the house has been upgraded since Ken, Jodi and Kara were last here 15 years ago.  Compared to others in the village, they are quite well.  We were able to tell them about the medical/ministry team we are a part of and how we are helping people in Romania.  With the help of David, the Gospel message was told to all the family and neighbors present.  With much crying, we departed and took the trip back to Sighisoara.

Thank you for all your prayers.  It was a good time and we are all very satisfied with the results.  Be sure to see the pictures on the Gallery.
