Back to Normal

Wow, I am finaly blogging agian. Sorry to everybody for not writing in so long. Since I got back to Ukraine I have not been able to blog since the dial up is to slow to blog, but we just got "DSL" more-or-less. It is not really fast, but it is fast enough. Lets see, what have I been doing, school, school, school, OK, got in some nice running, I fixed my bike, got the "throwup" bug, got a cold, harvested appricots, helped my parents and brother pick our grapes and make over forty liters of juice out of them, helped out with the little kids at church every week, made a giant jack-o-lantern out of our 104 pound pumpkin, and a lot of other stuff. I am just going to put a lot of pictures of various things on the page. Signing off.

Mountain Climbing

I went mountain climbing in the Carpathian Mountains for three days with my dad!!! Cool!!! The mountain was called the Rock of Criaul and was 7,500 feet tall. We had a really good time and were safe[praise the Lord]. It rained for almost half the time so it was a little challenging but, it was not too bad. Although, Dad's pack started to rip when we reached the summit, so he had to stitch it up in the rain in about 40 degree weather.

Saturday

Figures, my day off from school and it rains!!! Ooh well. I guess if the King of the Universe wanted it to rain I should not be complaning!!! I took this picture and thought that it looked like a cool, still-life.

Up, up and away

Mom, Diah and I went uo the cable car here in Brasov yesterday!! The view was totally awesome!! You can see the whole city and lots of villages beyond. The photos do not do it justice. What a great God to give us all of this beautiful world!!!

Swish!!

We played basketball last night and had a really good time! Praise the Lord for good Christian fellowship!! I got hit in the mouth and was bleeding for a while, but it was cool!! One of the guys saw me spit and said: "Macky are you OK? Your spit is red!!" Duh, Mr. Surgio, It's blood!!!

OK I know that this picture is a soccer ball. [I am not too crazy!!] But, I just bought it. It is really nice to play with. Looks cool too!!

Back

Wow, my trip to Macedonia was great!! Praise the Lord that we were able to encourage the Brites, Preach in Thessolanica, and have a church service in the ruins of Phillipi!! We were able to get through all of the borders on the way back to Romania with no problem. Even though we were driving a van with no insurance, it was Macedonian. The scenery was awesome!!! It was very moving to be where Paul preached and worked. Thand you all for your prayers for us on this trip. I know that they made a differance.

Happy Birthday Dad!!

Dad had a good birthday on Thursday. I spent the day cooking with Mom. We had lasagne, home-made ice cream, garlic bread, salad, and cheese cake!! Yummy!!! Dad got some shin guards, web cam and other stuff. We had a great evening together as a family. Praise God for a great Dad!!!
