I have been pretty busy lately getting ready for the holidays. I usually have some ideas of things that I would like to blog about, but lately I've been a little lacking in inspiration. It might have something to do with Christmas coming up, and my upcoming trip to France! If you ever have any thing that you would like to know about in regards to my life in Romania, please let me know. I will gladly take on quests or (small) research projects.
However, today I decided to write a little bit about the church that I am attending. I had the opportunity to play piano for the services today, and I am really thankful that I have found a place where I can do that.
It took me a little while to find a church where I felt I could have a place. I initially tried a number of different Romanian churches, but didn't feel like any of them were for me. Finally I joined my roommate and visited the international church that she was attending, and I really enjoyed it. They were even in need of another pianist, so I was really glad to find a place where I could be a part of the ministry. The international church is truly international and has a good group of people from all over the world. Last week we had our Christmas celebration and it included presentations of Christmas from Indonesia, Nigeria, and of course Romania. I included a little video of our church's Christmas choir that I got to be a part of. Most of the choir did not know the songs prior to our practices, but I think everyone enjoyed it. Here is the link to the video:
Two more days and then I will be leaving for France to spend Christmas with the same family that I spent Christmas with two years ago. I'm really excited that I get to travel a bit and spend Christmas with a family, since I can't be with my own family.
