Hot but getting ready for winter.
” But I have trusted in thy mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.” Psalm 13:5
Thought the weather is pretty nice we are getting ready for Christmas here ..how???
Since we coordinate Samaritan's Purse project in our area ,we had to start meetings in order to promote the project and Christmas distribution in the area.
We had a wonderful meeting and were so encouraged to see how people react ..there were about 38 people all together and we all had such a blessed time ..many new ,just heard about the project and want to help in some areas..
Vio had some wonderful seminars about why distributing , how and the follow up .Our prayer is that this year will be the most special Christmas for the kids in our area .
Among the new participants there was a young lady called Cristina .All participants had the freedom to come up with tips ,ideas and a word of encouragement toward others .Cristina said
" Some years ago I received a shoe box .It changed my life ,but then I moved to Spain and couple weeks ago I moved back to Romania .I want to be part of this program ,because I had a benefit from it and now I want to be on the other side of the project ,just to see the joy of others receiving!
Due to number of Christians in the area and the lack of communication among them ,just to see 38 people from all denomination ,smiling and praising the Lord it made us think "at least for this "
Kids in the villages rejoice seeing us ,especially Vio.2 boys from Bughea de Jos (Florin and Mihai-poor and hard working kids)got our attention in a special way .They know we have little Daniel and his brother with us and they want to do something special for them .So every Friday when Vio 
goes in this village they want to give something for the boys , most of times they bring milk since the kids need milk and we can not afford to buy it .They look after their cow and work hard .Once in a while they will bring a jar of home made jam. What a joy ..not so much of receiving-thought we are so thankful for all things we get from the two boys-especially now when the family is bigger , but just the idea of seeing these poor boys responding to other people's need.
This week we will continue to go to villages-especially Vio and I will continue to prepare for teaching at the preschool course that will take place next week in
Crazy times are ahead us from many point of view but our prayer and hope is to trust in His goodness and that will make our hearts full of joy.
Rejoicing in His Mercy
Estera & Vio& Daniel and Andrew
