Serene but paddling like..................

Loads to do before we leave! Thank you to everyone for your support and encouragement I know we are going to be able to ease the lives of many people and groups. I am surrounded by boxes, bags and lists of things to remember.

Today, thanks to the hard work of the Island Music group "Bree" we have been able to order some percussion instruments for use of the children at the day centre for children with special needs.

11 sleeps and counting

Just had a busy week, spoken to youth group on Monday night, 2 home groups and then at church this morning. It is such encouragement to know we have folks supporting us both in prayer and practically. It has been great to have the time at home with our family and know it is going to be hard to say good bye but know we will get a warm welcome from all our friends and the families we help back in Dorohoi.

The bags and boxes are already gathering and soon it will be time to see how much we can fit into the Pajero on this run. I think it was around 600kilos last time and that was with 3 of us in the car. Only the 2 of us this time, so lots of room for aid (clothes, stationary, toiletries, medicines, toys, pushchairs) ,and a few treats for us & fellow mission workers.

Florists apprentice

It has been a busy week, helping Heidi in the flower shop, it was so busy for "Mother's day". But it was great to be able to help with the preparation and delivery. On both Saturday & Sunday I was helping to deliver flowers all over the island with 3 other drivers. This week we are busy with talks on the work in Romania to 3 different groups. Also gearing up to the fact that we only have just over 2 more weeks before we leave.
