    – By the time this is read, I will, Lord willing, be back in Massachusetts.  It is always difficult for me to leave my beloved Romania – the ‘other land that I love’ – and especially ‘my’ ‘littles’ and ‘kids’! – Because there will be no more babies at Albina, at least for some time,…

    First of all, the team of four pastors including Ovi who went deep into Ukraine – within 8km of the border of Russia to deliver food, water, goods, generators, rolls of plastic to cover bombed out windows and so much more, were protected by our Almighty Jehovah-Nissi and returned home to Romania safely.  THANK You…

    – It was a roller coaster ride during the month of February back in Romania.  Snow, snow and more snow greeted me with sub-freezing temperatures and sometimes, sub-zero weather. – During the week of February 12, we had four earthquakes with the strongest one being 4.7.  Also, we live under the threat of the Russian…

    – I am so happy to report that Corina has been able to visit our precious ‘babies’ at Albina once a week, at least, since I had to leave Romania.  Also, she has delivered the funds (transferred to Ovi’s account for her) to take to Barza Mica for meds.  I praise God for her help!!…

    I trust that you all had a most Blessed and Merry Christmas.  The angels rejoiced at the announcement of our Jesus’ birth.  I know that we rejoice, too, not just once a year, but all through the year that God sent His only Son for us. – I praise God for a safe and uneventful…

    I’m back in the States – Norton, MA to be exact.  Oh, how difficult it was to leave my precious babies at Albina, and ‘kids’ at Barza Mica.  The little ones at Albina love having Corina and me with them but are really clueless at my coming and going.  However, my having to leave is…

    October was a busy month!  Thanks to you (and most of all to our Almighty God), we are using the ‘outdoor’ kitchen at Barza Mica.  It needs some finishing touches, but is totally operational.  This kitchen makes it safer for our precious ‘kids’.  BTW, the food is amazing – the cooks are just the best,…

    So many blessings in September: – LFA was blessed once again to be able to send two vans full of food, goods, and supplies deep into Ukraine.  So many there are huddled in their basements for protection and literally, starving to death.  Not only do we bring them sustenance, but the Good News of our…

    I can hardly believe that August is over.  I love August!  It speaks ‘summer’ to me!  It was, however, a different few weeks.  I had a (mild) UTI, four ocular migraines, a sinus infection, and bronchitis – all within the span of two weeks.  I am absolutely praising God that I’m doing so much better,…

    –  I absolutely praise God that despite a difficult trip, He carried me back safely one more time to ‘the other land that I love’.  (Thank You, Lord!!)  As usual, Ovi and I had great conversation on the nearly 3-hour trip to Brasov from Otopeni.  Much of what he had to tell me was difficult…
