Visiting the Triplet family

Six months ago Adina met a lady at the baby hospital who had just given birth to triplets.  She thought she was expecting twins and so received a real surprise.  Adina supported A whilst she was in hospital and later visited her and her family at home -  a village about an hour and a half drive  from Arad.  In addition to the triplets they have 4 other daughters aged 13, 12, 7 and 2.   Their home consists of just 2 rooms with the other 2 rooms in the house being occupied by her brother in law, his wife and 4 children, one being just 3 weeks old and premature.  The mother is also very week following the birth.  

When Adina visited there was no running water in the house and the older children were walking a considerable distance on a very busy main road carrying enough water for the 2 families.  Adina works closely with other missionaries and funds were made available for digging a well and for supplying a washing machine and a fridge freezer thus considerably improving the lives of both families.   Shortly after they were born one of the triplets, Samuel  developed a testicular hernia and needed surgery which was predictably delayed until funds were made available for the surgeon.

Today we visited the Maranata Children's Home in Hunedoara and were passing the village in which this family live and so we called and spent some value time with both families and brought much joy to the 11 children with Christmas Boxes.

 We hope you enjoy the pictures.
