Minus 3 this morning as we travelled on icy roads out to Sofronea to sort out shoeboxes for the many distributions ahead next week. En route we came across an old shepherd in sheepskins with his flock - seen here in the distance. 
It was freezing in the outbuilding but, with the help of Vio, Jackie's neighbour and friend plus breaks for hot drinks we managed to complete everything by 4 pm. Another English Charity called to collect 80 of our shoeboxes for distribution at Apple Way on 23rd December. After thawing out by Pastor Jackie's home log burners we set out for the city, first calling at the Music Club in San Nicolau Mic. Later we visited my dear friend Nina who has 9 children and who also cares for her sick mother.Nina has had a very hard life but we pray for an imminent conclusion to her 3 year battle with the state to enable her to sell land owned by her late father which was seized under communist rule. They are a beautiful Christian family and we value their friendship and fellowship.
We give thanks that the 13 year old girl who went missing earlier in the week is back home tonight with her family. Please join us in prayer for this family because the mother has multiple problems which is reflecting on the lives of the children.
It is again snowing in Arad tonight and driving conditions are appalling. I think we may be facing a skating rink in the morning. I am so so tired tonight - I just want to crash out. We hope you all have a blessed day tomorrow.
