More preparations for Mocrea Christmas

Out on the road early this morning on route to Mocrea after briefly calling at the city hospital about Jackie's health insurance.   We all loaded into Jackie's Dacia truck.  Our team consisted today of Bogdan (at the wheel), Adina, myself and Traian.  It was an hour's run along very bumpy roads - not good for the suspension and every one drives too fast in Romania.  Lots of rural life to see en route - horses and carts with hay and huge tree trunks of winter wood.


Traian and Bogdan took  care of the refreshments whilst Adina and I organized the crafts. Staff informed us that some of the patients from the secure wards were agitated and so they would not allowed to join us.  However, we had a good crowd and mixture of men and women who soon got involved in making colourful paper chains - I was up at the crack of dawn cutting all the paper strips. Praise God was able to bring over a lot of crafts from Wales.  They sang some carols, we displayed all their work and we ended in prayer.
