Hi! My name is Dinu Cotruta, and I have to tell you that I am having a wonderfully good time with the guys. I didn’t believe that they were so friendly and that’s why I have to say that I am very surprised about this. The first time that I saw Lou, I saw in him a man with a lot of experience and a conductor who knows what decision to make for the good of everybody.
I have met some American people in this chorus that were very sociable with me and I am so glad about this. I wasn’t so decided that I’m going to go to [sing in] all the concerts, but now I want to have this experience with the guys.
I’m very happy and I believe that when our GOD is going to come for the second time, we’ll meet in his kingdom every one of us and we are going to make a huge chorus with the angels and our GOD, JESUS CHRIST. Amen

Overnight in Galati in a Romanian home
By Donna Cavanaugh

What an experience we had yesterday (Thursday, April 16). After a wonderful concert at the Adventist church in Galati a friendly Romanian lady came up to us talking a blue streak. We couldn't understand her at first, but with sign language she indicated she wanted us to come sleep at her house. We got our luggage off the bus concerned if she'd have a car big enough. Not to worry – she called a cab and took us and our luggage home.
She showed us what must be their sitting room and pulled the couch out to make a 3/4 size bed. We asked about the restroom and her husband took us outside down the little trail they'd marked and showed us the outhouse. No lights out there; only had to make one more trip in the middle of the night setting the neighbor dogs to barking.
In the morning they took us to the kitchen where Ioan, Maria's husband, brought us in some water to wash with while Maria cooked us eggs, made a salad of fresh and so tasty tomatoes, radishes, young onions Ioan had just pulled and parsley. Maria had home-made bread and yogurt. We couldn't eat as much as she thought we should so she insisted we take bread and yogurt with us.
After loading us with gifts they called a cab and Maria rode with us to meet our group at the hotel. Maria practiced her Spanish with the driver who had spent a year in Spain.. Through a young Romanian man traveling with us she told us what a blessing the men's singing was to her.
I don't think we could adequately express how memorable her kindness was to us.

What a treat! The meals the Romanian women have been fixing for us are simple, but delicious. Lots of fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, apples and different cheeses have accompanied cabbage rolls and potato salad and always plenty of bread. They have done a wonderful job preparing food for up to 200 of us.
These women of the Galati Adventist church prepared dinner for the group.
