Journal for Tuesday 26th to Thursday 28th of May

Tuesday 26^th of May

In the morning we met with some beautiful ladies that support our charity with knitted items – Julie was one of them! Oh what beautiful spirit! We had such a great time sharing about our work with them! Later we visited Peter and Val, a family that supports a ministry in Africa and sends baby knitted items in there! We had a great chat with them and also with their two beautiful grand kids, Caleb -5 and Lou – 2 ...sweet sweet children! From here we went to the house in Hirwaun and I stayed there for the rest of the day helping Wayne with painting the outside of the house – and I gotta say I love painting and look forward to some more painting within the days to come!

We arrived home around 8 and we got ready to receive two guests for dinner – our friends Mike and Wayne. We had a great dinner (veggies on basmati rice and buttered bread) and oats and apple crumble with custard for dessert - yummy! We had much laughter, testimonies, prayer time – all in all it was a great time (needles to say they left our home around midnight :)

Wednesday 27^th of May

Today was a computer work day – today I worked in putting the lists for the shoe boxes together, tried to get the logo solved out and get the website working!

Later in the evening we went to Mike Page's church, in Brecon, where there was a speaker from Ireland – Brian Gault, a speaker that was born with no arms! OH what a strong testimony he has shared with us! Seeing him, I understand better why God allows us to go to tribulations – He want us to be a testimony and help others come to Him!

Thursday 28^th of May

Today was a teaching day – in the morning I learned how to make from scratch Welsh cakes and Shepherds pie, and boy was I happy :) Looking forward to cook welsh for my family and friends! Also made some romanian cakes to take with us to the group meeting we had in the evening!

In the afternoon we visited with Wendy (a old friend now :) ) and if before I was told I am always joyful, and was given names like Trouble with capital T, today Wendy called me flower – how about that!? After we left Wendy's house we went to see how we can be of help to our good friends Ema and Mihai – and while Irene took Ema out to do some shopping, I stayed at the house with Mihai and had a great time! On our way back to the house we stopped to see how Wayne is going on with painting?! We arrived home around 6 pm and rushed to make sandwiches for the meeting we were about to have! Once we were finished and all was packed, we rushed to Mikes farm! He lives out in the country about a 30 minutes drive from Irene's home – and the scenery is Beautiful! I cannot say I love the windy roads or the narrowness of them but sure did enjoy my drive there! Shortly after we arrived there Mike gave me a tour of the farm – saw the chickens,

 his sheep, his horses and the trailer he used to drive the shoe boxes to the warehouse in Talbot Green – have truly enjoyed the tour! When back inside we had a buffet and later we had a word from a pastor that come to be with the group! After the group left I got to stay back with Irene and socialise more with Mike and Wayne – have to mention that this happened by the fire place while we were having a lovely cup of tea! Not to forget – Mike has presented me two book about Welsh cooking  – can't wait to use them at home (but this doesn't mean that I look forward in leaving here :( ) Needless to say we left the farm after midnight and arrived home right before 1 am!
