Friday was my last official day working with YWAM Targu Mures. As I walked home from a "de-briefing" meeting with the base leaders (where we talked about my experience here with YWAM), it started snowing. I felt the light snow flakes on my face as I walked the dirt path from a busy road to my cement block apartment building, and I had to fight back tears that seemed to have been provoked by the snow... I was surprised at the hollow feeling I suddenly had. I am relieved that my work here has ended well, but to walk away from something that I've been spending the last 2 years developing is especially tough.

It has been an honor being part of many things happening with YWAM Tg Mures. A list of things I have been involved in:

- worship band, playing at conferences and seminars
- communications and office work
- staffing and developing a DTS
- staffing and developing the 1st School of Worship in Romania
- pioneering the organization here in Tg Mures.
- helping organize 2 worship seminars
- orphans
- other things that I can't see or remember

Its been an amazing journey.. I would never take back any of it, not that I could... but I wouldn't even if I could. Not even the hard parts like the physical sicknesses that seemed to plague me almost the entire time I was in Romania, the suffering, the homesickness, the conflicts, the loneliness, the life-changing friendships... none of it. God is amazing, and I look forward to the road up ahead.
