Romania Trip 5/26/06
Eighth Day On The Job - It Is Finished!
Today the Teleios Team had the opportunity to celebrate the completion of the installation of the Infiltrator System. As the last connections were made for Trench # 10, dirt began to fill the other trenches and the system was placed into service - just in time for the start of the Hungarian Baptist Women's Conference! The team took the opportunity to take in some sight seeing around the area and some "last minute" shopping. Our first stop was Sighisoara, where we had the chance to see and climb up into the Clock Tower and to have a guided tour of the "Church on the Hill", which was started in 1429.
Our next stop was Bran Castle ("Dracula's Castle") - where we had the opportunity to be there on the day that Romania returned the castle to the Hapsburg family. Due to the occasion, the castle was closed to visitors but that did not stop the team from shopping the market around the castle grounds. After a light lunch and much shopping, we returned to the camp to meet Janos and Imbre for dinner in Vlahita. Janos and Imbre are the two brothers that assisted the team with the excavation of the trenches and sewer line ditches for the project. They have been a blessing to us all and we are grateful that God allowed our paths to cross and that we had the privilege to spend the past 8 days working beside them.
As the team prepares for the weekend, thoughts turn to packing, preparing for the flight home and seeing our much missed family, friends and pets. We thank you for your continued prayers and emails. This project has been a wonderful experience for us all and we look forward to what God has in store for each of us as we strive to glorify Him as we serve others.
