Hello From Romania!

We are all doing well. I must apologize because I can only send e-mails from my cell phone right now and cannot do pictures. Here is a summary of our last few days. We started on sunday at an elderly care center where we gave out some chocolate and fruit. The 90 plus seniors were in various conditions of health ranging from good to very sick. Our team of 20 sat and talked with many over the course of 2 hours listening to their lonliness Monday and tuesday we were at a special needs school and the prichindel orphanage. There we did crafts, singing, and gave out the gifts that we brought with us. The team did a wonderful job and brought some joy to many children. Today, we travelled by train to the city of Beclean where we ran a program for about 60 orphans. The team did more crafts, gave out christmas gift bags and 2 people spoke about their lives. One team member, Dan Scott, talked about how he had grown up as an orphan and how he felt. Tomorrow, we go to ilisua where we will do much of the same except here we will make christmas dinner. Thanks for your support of the team. I hope to get pictures up soon! Bob Fukumoto
