hello again,
So far our trip is going great. God is really providing for our team, the staff, and most importantly, the children here in Romania.
The last couple days have taken us to new orphanages and ones we had already visited. April's team went to Chitila, which is a mostly girls orphanage which also has orphans with mental handicaps. Ryan's team went to Sf Ana, which they had already visited, but met a whole new group of kids.
The next day April's team went and visited Tei, which is an orphanage of mostly pre schoolers. Ryan's team went to Luminata, which is for kids with autism and also behavioral disorders. Then after lunch, Ryan, Larissa, Christie, Bree, Kellen, and Kelsey went to #7.
Then on Wednesday, both teams together went to #6 which also deals with preschoolers in the morning and then in the afternoon both teams went to Chatilla where it was crazy. Some boys came in and listened to the lesson, so it was a big mix of people. There was tons of climbing on team members, and shouting and wrestling. But it was a great time and we all left there feeling like we were given as much love as we had tried to give to the orphans.
Romania is going great so far, continue to pray for God's blessing on this trip, also, for health as nate and bree are starting to get sick.
Thanks again, and God bless.
-Team Romania

ReplyDeleteHi Larissa,
ReplyDeleteIf you happen to see this my name is Jerry Newsom, and I am your grandfather Bill Dodson's cousin. Many many years ago (1969) your mother Julia and I flew from California to El Paso, Texas to visit her grandparents (Elaine's parents). I remember it well.
I am extremely pleased that you are involved in a mission trip like this. We serve a mighty God!
God's best to you.
Jerry

Bree (and Team): We are so proud of your work there in Romania. Keep touching lives! I'm praying that everyone stays strong as the days pass. Exhibit grace and love to one another while you are working on this common plan... God's plan!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the wonderful email.

Pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. -Ecc 4:10
Great job on lifting up all the Romanian Children you meet!
Your team is touching many more lives than you know. I've had many opportunities to tell co-workers about your trip and how it's going, and they are amazed, as I am. And...if ANYONE on the team or connected to them has a way to get a message to Christie, please tell her I'm having trouble with her Biola registration and really need to communicate with her by email. Pray that she will still be able to get classes she needs this coming semester, please.
