This transfer I gained a testimony of SYL. We were sitting on a tram-vai on our way home Friday night, and we began talking about plans for English class the next day, in Romanian. I saw a family sitting near us and they were obviously listening. Finally, I heard the mother say something about our accents, and so I asked her, "Do I have a strong accent?" She smiled and said I do. Her husband asked where we were from. Their daughter who looked about our age began talking too. We found out that they are a very musical family. In fact, they were on their way home from their daughter's flute concert. The father teaches at a music university and the mother teaches piano lessons. They also have a son (can't remember his instrument). Sora Benson and I shared our deep love for music. When it came time for them to get off, we hadn't yet come to any gospel discussion or contacting. However, the daughter took out a piece of paper and wrote down her email address and telephone number. She asked us to call her, saying we were so adorable and that it might be fun if we could come to her concert some time. That's the first time someone has given us a number without us asking for it. Anyway, that would not have happened had we not been first speaking in Romanian. I learned it is important for us to try--not only to improve our fluency, but also to capture the attention of those around us.
