First written January 1st on the train from Sambateni to Cluj, Romania
For New Years I was at the Foster's with plenty of other people from their village. Lots of goodies and vegetable salads were made. Alina M. was going to write down questions and put them on cards for people to answer. I thought of a good amount of the questions in the end (and I fear they may have seemed ridiculous to the Romanians) and Ioana came up with some, too. Then we did something I've always wanted to do at the New Year. We got down on our knees and prayed. And we really prayed - like we never do in America. We spent time in prayer. Aluna broke down in tears praying. How beautiful to see in a beautiful 15 year old girl.
I loved spending time on the floor. This is how we brought in the New Year.

Hey Mar,
Well you'd be happy to know that at our 20's New Year's party at Silverado we did much the same. :) Peter Lu cooked a nice dinner, we had fun times of games and fellowship (telephone charades). And around 11 we went around the room to share our reflections for this past year, and then we prayed in through the New Year! :)
Just thought I'd share,
Bill
