From Rob and Liz -- March 6, 2012

We're in motion!  We have been for the last few weeks, but now I'm 'home' in Romania with our car, and we're prepping to leave on our first scouting trip.  So exciting!  Thanks for your many prayers throughout these days.  As we look ahead, please pray for:

--Health--we're still fighting mold in our apartment.  I was sick before leaving to get our car, Liz is sick now, and I'm regaining a sore throat upon my return.  We're glad to be going on the road!
