A new ministry

I have very exciting news. I am a self-proclaimed sports fanatic to a ridiculous degree, and for the first time since I arrived in Romania last year I am able to use this fanaticism. Shortly after I arrived, Stephen saw that I was able to bring my baseball glove back with me this year and he went on to mention a new ministry that has begun in Bujac (an area of Arad on the west side). I was excited to hear that a missionary has begun teaching baseball to the kids of Arad. This thrills me to no end. I am by no means a great player, however through the countless hours of my childhood and adulthood watching baseball, I feel I have something to add.

All this on top of my being able to watch an American football game (the Browns no less) with actual Americans in my Romanian apartment was pretty wicked awesome. Unfortunately, it was a loss to the Minnesota Favres, but it will be the only game I get to watch this year with real people until the Super Bowl. On other sad news, it was another disappointing week for the Buckeyes of The Ohio State University. This will be something I will blog about at a later date, because my family has a history of supporting teams with no chance of winning (i.e. Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Cavaliers with the latter having the best shot of winning within the next 10 years). The Walters' are by nature gluttons for punishment, but as I said that is a blog for another time and another place.
