In the summer of 1993 my son and daughter went to Romania with me and stayed for a month with Pastor Florin in Haţeg while I traveled to other places in the country. Philip and Becky had Bible schools for the kids in several villages. The kids’ favorite activity was learning American songs. Pastor Florin’s son, Cipri and his daughter, Corina, were the interpreters. Corina, loved to wear Phillip’s sunglasses and borrowed them every opportunity that she had. All was well until the day they were all in Simeria, where a new church was being built. During construction, an outhouse was the only facility available. Corina went in to use the outhouse, but came out upset. She had dropped Phillip’s sunglasses into the toilet. Phillip told her to go and get his sunglasses, but Corina was cool. She told him exactly where they were, and he could go get them if he wanted to. It only took Phillip a moment to decide that he did not want to retrieve his sunglasses.
