March was a busy month.  Lots of snow – a broken down laptop – a broken down car – but some really good things, too!

I am so grateful to have landed in Bucharest via Atlanta and Paris on February 5 safe and sound.  The trip is grueling, at best – but when it is uneventful, I feel so blessed.  It’s wonderful to be back in my home (my little flat in Brasov)!  I took the first week to get through jet-lag, and then was right back at Barza Mica as if I’d never been away.

Loved meeting up with friends in Northern Georgia in January!  John and Linda Goetz drove from N. Carolina to visit, and to bring boxes of beautiful warm clothing to be shipped out by a Romanian company in the Suwanee (GA) area.  John is on Love From Above’s Board – and both he and Linda are precious long-term friends.  They, truly, live to serve others.

I trust that you all had a wonderful Christmas!  A Christmas full of the celebration of Christ, the Savior.  It seems as though I barely had time to get used to writing 2018, and here it is 2019, already!  The last month of 2018 was productive for our Lord’s work through Love From Above in Romania.

“A gift opens the way and ushers the giver into the presence of the great.”  – Proverbs 18.16

Love From Above continued with the purchase of prescription and OTC meds in November for our babies and ‘kids’.  We also bought a door for a building we are renovating on the same property as Barza Mica.  This building will be used for storage, and a place for our ‘kids’ to go while we do our crafts, stories, music, etc.  The workers at Barza have been hard at work repairing the building, including a partial new roof.
