The temperature in Buzau hit the 100 degree Fahrenheit mark today, as Southeast Europe is continuing in a heat wave.  This afternoon when I was outside walking to pay monthly bills and run some other errands, I thought to myself, this weather feels like we're back in Texas.  (Although I hear that this year the weather in Dallas has averaged cooler in June than we've been having here, strangely enough.) 

   I am praying for a cool down--not just for personal comfort, but for ministry reasons.  With the campaign we've got coming up for ministry in parks and outdoor areas, to be successful, I think we need weather more like Romanians are accustomed to, or they just won't be outside where we want to do evangelism.  The outdoor vendors today had given up because of the heat and gone home instead of staying to sell their wares on the street--and these people are dedicated sellers--I've never seen them close up shop in mid-day before.
