Cold Out! And still hardly any snow!

Ahhh!  Its been a while since  my last post :(  sorry I kept thinking i should write something ether i was too busy or when i did have time I was too lazy.  The 24th Christmas eve we had a program in Ciorani, it ran late but finally we started Florin was doing the music so we practiced the music he had and then went caroling.  At first people were asking me if i was cold because I only had a long sleeve shirt and a sweater over it and at first i wasn't cold at all but at the end I finally did get rather cold... but it was fun.  So when everybody had enough of the cold we went back to the church.  There people talked for a while and drank coffee or tea then the program started.  Florin played some songs while some of  us younger people got ready for a skit. As kind of an intro some of the kids went up and recited some verses, then the skit started.  If you guys want to see the video I will put a link at the bottom of my post.  The skit went rather well considering how it could have turned out...  Then after the skit Cristi had a message, we prayed then people just hung out.  Right after we prayed I started to lose my voice it was almost instant and it kept getting worse, but my problem was I wanted to talk to all the people there and i did so it messed up my voice so i had to whisper to people for a while.  If you know me you know that one of the things i do most is TALK  so it was almost like a fast from talking because it hurt if i did.  And it made me think do i really want to say that?  Is it worth it?  And also if you have been around me much you know i sing all the time too so i couldn't sing at all... but i had to try first of course.   Today was our free day I got up this morning and started writing on this post and now i need to finish up.  I Hope to be putting some stuff up at the end of this week.  Thanks for reading our blog!!!    

                                        Click here for the video of the skit     Its not just of the skit it has clips from the whole night.  And the sorry the skit is kinda dark.

Okay on the 27 of last month we when up to the Tilmans for Bobby birthday.Mr.Tilman knows a guy that knows a guy that works at this old prison so he could let us go in and see this really cool old prison. Before it was a prison it was a strong hold for the Turkish and them after that they turned it in to a prison.
After getting back from the prison we made dinner. When it got dork, us kids played sardines. It took us so long to find Bobby and I actually waked by him two time before I fawned him, we had a great time hanging out with them.
Autumn and Jesaiah played Bobby's new "age of empires", it was fun to watch, I really don't like playing it , making maps is fun, cuz them you know were every thing is. School been great I'm doing better in math then I ever have and for the first time it is actually fun, American history is the best, every thing is just so interesting like the KKK, Jesaiah likes to call them the NMPK (Narrow Minded People Klan). thank you all for read our blog, and sorry for not righting anything for a long time.

Sunday...

Sunday... here's what happened this Sunday.  Sunday morning we had church in Ciorani as usual.  Dad did a study on divorce and what the Bible has to say about it, after the study we hung around for awhile then I went home to get some stuff before we left for Valeni.  I got everything and went back to the church building and found out shortly after that if i had waited my dad was going to make a stop at the house with the van any ways.  OK so we got to Valeni and after worship me and Ruth went in with the kids class to help.  After church was over we all played soccer with people up there.  Then we left sometime around 6:00 and got home at about 7:30.  So I had a great day...  school has been going great and I'm looking forward to my mom coming back on the 3rd of October.  Yesterday was our family free day and we went in to get our new Visas. Well Thats all folks!  Its getting late and we have school tomorrow.  Bye!!!!

                                                                      

                                 

..... winter is on its way!

Sorry for not posting for so long... its been pretty  busy.  The weather has been cooling down it hard to believe that just last week we were thinking it was hot!  Yesterday a man in Valeni said  " a venit iarna!" (winter has come) I feel the same way today... its rainy, cold and windy.  Well it looks like the warm days of this year are over...  A lot has been happening to start out my mom left on the on the 2nd to see my grandma that had a surgery, and will be back on the 3rd of October.  The next day we started school, it went well for a first day. Its been two since then and a lot has happened.  My mom got to the U.S. safely, we are doing school and church stuff.  The other night on the way to Valeni for the youth meeting I had the bright idea of acting out our shakespeare book in the van.  It was funny to say the least.  Well I have to go but I'm going to try to post something else this week.  Thanks for reading our blog we appreciate it!

The 4 Musketeers

Will my Mom just left to day. So it is just me, Jesaiah, Daddy and Faithlynn at home.
After we said are good-byes and lifted my Mom at the airport, we went to a park called
"shadi-ady" which means "play city", they have rides and some restrains and sell food, ice-cream, etc...
it was really cool we were there with some friend, it was the fist time i had been there and i had a good time, it took me mind off my mom being gone, and then we got home and it was like "oh yeah mom is not here". So we're just watching the movie "elf".
My mom is going to be got in for three week and Autumn is coming back with her!!!!!!!!
so there just 4 us now.

"Free day"

Today was my family's rest day.  For most of us (or all of us) today was not as restful as we would have liked.  it started yesterday morning, we noticed a pool of water in the bathroom and in the laundry room.  Because of all the church stuff Dad has to do he obviously couldn't fix it then so it had to wait until today.  At about 12:30 he started braking up the concrete over the leak.  Once it got to the digging Jonny jumped in and had some fun getting incredibly dirty and helping in the meantime.  Everybody had turns (some more than others) taking dirt out of the kitchen and out onto the porch.  Dad found the problem - it was a leak on the pipe that goes from the kitchen to the bathroom, He fixed it and they put the dirt back in.  What was I doing in this time frame you ask?  Well the answer is that last week I inherited the job of organizing our picture library and let me tell you its a tiring job.  OK so this wasn't an ideal rest day but at the end of the day I'm just thanking god we have water, and hot water at that.  Its late and its been a long day so I'm going to say goodnight to you all and go to bed.  Thanks for reading our blog we appreciate it! - Josh Q  :D

Hey
So this is my first post, as you can see. Summers been great here except for thing, the heat. I would rather live in the heat for the rest of my life, than the cold. As you all might know my Sister is in the US and, you all can read her blog too. This would be the first summer she has been gone, and i miss her like crazy! But she is coming back in September, so that is going to be sweet to see her again. I'm thanking God for making this summer seem like it is going by fast. We start school on the 31st or the 30th of this month and I'm really look forward to that, cuz school just gives me some thing to do. I guess you could say i like school, I injoy doing it, but we all get frustrated somtimes, it happens to almost everyone.  I will tell you now that I'm not that good at communication so maybe this will help!

My first post!!!

OK - so two days ago me and Em were chatting.  I told her I was making a blog and then it occurred to us both that we could make a blog together and put up stories about our lives as missionary kids.  It sounded like a good idea so we started working on it.  We will be putting up stories as they happen or- as we remember them.  We will also try to find other MKs that want to write on the blog.
