Wayne,
I and Adina arrived safely in Romania just before midnight. It felt
good to be back on Romanian soil and there was much excitement in our
hearts at what God had in store for us for the 3 weeks ahead. Great
welcome from our hosts – Adina's parents Maria and Ioan.
After
a great sleep and good breakfast we were out and about exchanging
money and sorting phone credit before dropping in at Tabita
Children's Home and then the home of American Missionaries, Spencer
and Lynsey who are involved with many of the projects we support. .

We
drove out to Sofronea to take delivery of our huge consignment of
boxes from Wales. They arrived much later than expected and we
ended up unloading in the dark which was not ideal but God was with
us and we accounted for everything. Pastor Jackie kindly fed the
drivers (Glyn and Jeff from Support from Romania) and the entire
unloading team. It was a great time of fellowship. All the boxes
are stored in Pastor Jackie's back bedroom and there is much sorting
to do tomorrow. Unfortunately we had to miss the Vinga Children's
programme tonight.

After
breakfast we set out to Sofronea to begin sorting the shoe boxes
ready for distribution. We loaded Danny Luca's minibus with Adina at
the wheel and set out for Kechechi to start our distribution of shoe
boxes. This is a very poor gipsy area with many families living
under the same roof in very poor conditions. The family we are
visiting are known to the Luca family because they daily visit the
garbage area outside their apartment block searching through the bins
for food scraps or anything they can sell for money. There was much
delight as the children opened their boxes and Adina distributed tea
shirts she had received from a consignment of aid from the States.
