Ionel's Birthday Today

In addition to being our 25th anniversary (see earlier post), today is also Ionel's birthday (our friend in Romania - the tallest boy in this picture of the Szuroka siblings from my last visit in February '05). He seems to be doing very well. I sent him a Happy Birthday e-mail, and he just wrote back with greetings to each member of our family. By the way, Monica (center) will be going to the University of Baia Mare this year. I have not heard from her in a while. You can continue to keep the whole Szuroka family in your prayers. Ionel is pursuing special Bible School curriculum at his church. He and Mihai (lower right) were apparently baptized earlier this year. The youngest two (on the left) are Vasile and Elena.
