Greetings from Beius!

We traveled here this morning from Marghita and will be staying at a nearby town until Monday. (I don't know how to spell it, so you'll just have to live in suspense.)

This morning we met with the mayor and were treated to a delicious lunch--we've started counting the silverware trying to anticipate how many courses we'll be served.  Most of us are afraid they'll have to roll us onto the plane to go home!  The people's hospitality here has been overwhelming.  They are truly gracious and give generously where ever they can.  We've been pleasantly surprised to find that many of the city officials where we've been are Christians--this being the case, they are happy to have us visit local churches and socialize with the high school students.

We're a little behind schedule, so I'm signing off now.  We should have internet access again tomorrow.
