Moldova - Home Already!

The capitol of Moldova is a bustling city that reminds us of American "down towns" in the 1950's. People/families come to town to shop, walk in parks, and visit. Sidewalk cafe's and currency exchange offices abound. We just love it. But what is becoming more dear to us are the people in the rest of the country who live in villages in what we call "Fiddler on the Roof" style. Very close to the land. The building is where our Chisinau branch meets-there are two signs on the building: one in Russian and one in Romanian. About 60-80 members meet each week and we are having baptisms every week-there have been 3 in the last two weeks and two more scheduled for next week! Fun thing-we meet two Jehovas Witness missionaries on the plane to Moldova who have been here 10 years and they had been on our blog and recognized us by site. We ran into them the next day at the grocery store.
