Monday and Tuesday


Monday and Tuesday proved to be good days to slow down, catch up, and visit with Zoltan and Elizabeth. On Monday night, we shared with the Satu Mare church about Teleios Ministry's current partnerships. The Satu Mare church is one of our oldest ministry partners. This was a great evening for Bonnie and I as we could express our appreciation for their partnership in many areas and their prayer support for almost 10 years.

On Tuesday, we spent part of the day visiting with Zoltan. The medical care system in Satu Mare was a new experience for us. Due to a shortage in the hospital lab, every morning Elizabeth had to take a blood sample to a private lab to analyze and then just before lunch we would go together to pick up the results and visit with Zoltan. On Friday he had a echogram on his leg. He was taken from the hospital to a private clinic for the test. He used his own blood sugar testing kit and blood pressure cuff in the hospital. He had to bring some of his own medicines.

We did learn about how important foundations and Christian organizations were and are to the Romanian medical system. Zoltan was in the intensive therapy unit. Most of the equipment was a gift from a Dutch foundation that Zoltan connected to the Satu Mare hospital. The gracious gifts of many in Europe has provided for much better care for the citizens of Satu Mare and Romania.

Tuesday was a good day to relax and enjoy our friendship.
