An early morning start to say goodbye. It was sad to say goodbye to the girls we'd shared a room with for the medical clinics. They were such an encouragement and a blessing to have on the team.
Natalie felt it best to stay in her pyjama's for the day and have coffee breaks...
Nicola said goodbye and then coped by retreating to hide under a bed for a while...
I, however, being the real team leader stepped up to do laundry for the 24 people that left. Bed sheets and towels galore. This is one of the six loads completed!
We did the laundry and cleaned up after the American team. There was a team from NI arriving that night so no slacking was permitted!
It was a day that reminded me of the importance of being faithful in all aspects of ministry. There are days which are exciting and filled with significant events. But many days are just the daily grind of life and involve chores, building relationships, running errands and just organising. It was a good opportunity to experience a day in Romania with the general daily happenings. It has been such an encouragement to observe the long term workers being faithful in all aspects of their work. They are so willing to serve continually. Pray for their strength and opportunity to rest.
Ultimately it was a refreshing reminder that God is always faithful. Even when we fall short and despite our weaknesses and flawed attempts, He is faithful. May we strive to be faithful in our service to Him.
