Hello, Szia, Jo Napot,
Welcome to our FUCSJ Transylvania Pilgrimage blog. This blog is open to entries from our travelers and hosts. Any visitors to our blog are encouraged to post comments.
While our plane leaves about 4 weeks from now, the journey has already begun. Over a year ago Mark Flynn, Crystal Lanier, Jozsef Szombatfalvi and I began discussion of a possible pilgrimage.
During this last year we have had many fundraising events, a partner church service and informational meetings. Many people from our congregation have contributed their time to help with our fundraising events. We have several donors to our scholarship whose donations of money and airline tickets made it possible of many of our youth and adult travelers to make this journey. $1500 from a special collection will be directly applied towards projects costs for the Homorodszentmarton church. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our trip preparations. Today we have 28 travelers in all; 10 high school, 5 college age and 13 adults.
I must give huge koszonom szepen (thank you very much) to our host minister, Jozsef. For the last 3 weeks, I have been talking with Joszef almost every day. Jozsef has given many hours of his time to make travel and room arrangements for us. This is besides all of the planning for our stay in Homorodszentmarton.
May you all enjoy our trip through our blog.
Sziastok,
Monty
