    August was a very full month.  Besides loving and enjoying, singing and praying over our precious orphans, there were other things going on. The Tompi’s, Robert and Alina and I traveled to his mother and sister’s village in Bahnea to minister once again.

    I have been in Brasov in my little flat on Str. Frasinului in Noua (section of Brasov) for a little over a month now.  It is ‘home’ to me – and with people whom I love – especially my precious orphans at Albina (Orphanage) and Barza Mica (Orphanage).   Sadly we ‘lost’ precious little Ionela at…

    I am delighted to be writing this update from ‘the other land that I love’!   I left Boston June 23, and arrived in Brasov (Romania) on the evening of the 24th.  As usual, Ovi picked me up in Bucharest.  The two and one half hour ride is always one of great conversation, catching up on…

    Joyous news!   A single donor contributed not only the final third of the funds to finish installing the plumbing for our Gypsy Church, Canaan in the village of Halchiu, but also the entire amount to have the whole heating system installed.  Can you say with me – ‘Praise God from Whom all blessings flow!’?

    Remember ‘my’ little AnaMaria who walks on her tippy toes, couldn’t speak at 3 years old, and who would run and jump into my arms every time she saw me?   And remember I wanted her to speak so badly that if she could, I wanted her first word to be ‘Isus’ (Jesus)? And she DID learn…

    First of all, I praise God for a safe, uneventful trip back to MA this past Thursday, March 24.  I am happy, too, to let you know that little Karol from Albina Orphanage had his heart operation and at least at this point, it seems very successful.  The workers were having a bit of a…

    What a joy to be writing this update from the ‘other land that I love ‘!  I thank God for an uneventful trip here, for Ovi’s promptness in picking me up at the airport on February 10, and for Ovi’s having checked out my apartment before arriving to make sure everything was working properly.  I’m…

    Lord willing, I will be headed back to ‘the other land that I love’ February 9 – returning to the States March 24.  I have much ahead of me to get accomplished while there, and am eager to see what-all the needs are for Love From Above to provide for Albina and Barza Mica Orphanages…

    Just a few updates and how the Lord blessed during the month of December.   First of all, I mentioned last month that if all went well, the doors and windows would be installed in Canaan, our church for the Gypsies.  It is with great joy that I can tell you that they have all been…

    The past month has been busy and productive for LFA.  We shipped nearly 400 pounds of warm winter clothing and shoes to Barza Mica (orphanage), and the two villages, Halchiu and Bahnea. We were able to send money to help a young mother who has just contracted Hepatitis B get the meds she needs.  It…
