Romania Trip 5/19/06
The Teleios Team started their second day on the job bright and early Friday morning. We were grateful that it was a "bright morning" with the sun shining and rain clouds no where to be found. The sun rose around 5:00 am and the team enjoyed the sounds of a distant cuckoo bird in the field as we rose to prepare for another busy day. The backhoe operator was able to complete the excavation for the sewer line that will connect the septic tank to the new Infiltrator System and quickly finished the excavation this morning for the groundwater diversion line. The Teleios Team prepared the excavation area for the new Infiltrator System and began the "back-breaking" work of laying the groundwater diversion and sewer line. By the end of the day, the team completed laying the groundwater diversion line and prepared the trench for the sewer line that connects the septic tank to the Infiltrator System. It was a busy day with the team working in deep mud, trying to avoid the leaking wastewater from the present, failing sewer system and moving a lot of dirt and rocks by hand with shovels barely capable of shoveling dirt without bending.
Excavation of the trench for the new sewer line that will connect the septic tank to the Infiltrator System is complete.

We celebrated Meg's birthday in a restaurant in a local village.
The highlight of the day for the team was the opportunity to celebrate Meg's birthday. After a 10 hour day, the team cleaned up and had dinner at a local restaurant for the celebration. Everyone enjoyed a wonderful meal - and great desserts - and had the opportunity to see a stork nest on top of a power pole in front of the restaurant - with a Momma Stork in it - and the chance to see a cow find it's way home down the street of the restaurant. What an evening!
The Teleios Team thanks you for your many prayers as we enjoy the privilege God has provided to us to serve others through this project. We pray that you will have a blessed day and we look forward to seeing everyone upon our return.
