Wouldn't change a thing!

Today, it is graduation day at Bluefield College! If I hadn't been a crazy person and taken college courses in high school, I would be graduating today and have spent the past year in college. Yet, that wasn't God's plan. I was that crazy person who took extra classes to graduate early and move to Romania to work here amongst the Roma in Ferentari. While, I have missed my college friends and the memories that I would have made this past year with them, I am so grateful that God made His plan clear to me because I wouldn't have traded this past almost year in Romania for anything!!!

The past few weeks have been super busy. We had a wonderful youth team from Bonsack Baptist Church over the Easter Break of the Ruth School. They were such a blessing to our students who were overjoyed to have special activities over their break. This team also helped our staff by painting the sports field fence, a hallway and a classroom.


 Also, I hosted my first ever holiday dinner! American and Romanian Easter are not celebrated on the same day which worked to my advantage. On American Easter, I had a few of my closest Romanian friends over for what I call "Brittany's family's traditional Easter" meal. We didn't have everything that the typical American Easter would have like ham but we did have the dyed deviled eggs that always make an appearance at my Easters in the States. I am so thankful for the blessing of friends that share their culture with me and don't mind me sharing mine with them.

I will be in the States visiting and sharing about my experiences/Project Ruth from August 1- September 14. I would love to come speak to your church, youth group or small group. E-mail me at garton.brittany@gmail.com so we can set something up :)
