Update from the month of September –
3000 kg. of potatoes were delivered to Barza Mica, along with 700 kg of carrots and 700 kg of onions.
Nineteen boxes of beautiful clothing arrived from some precious ladies at First Romanian Baptist Church of Atlanta – and were warmly received at Albina and Barza Mica Orphanages
It has been a wonderful – fruitful – fruitless, at times – joyful – heart-breaking – interesting past month in my beloved Romania.
Risking sounding like a broken record, I am thrilled to be back here in ‘the other land that I love’ once again – that the Lord has allowed me to be His hands and feet, eyes and heart among these people whom He planted in my heart seventeen years ago. I praise God for a safe and uneventful trip all the way from 19 Berry Street in Norton, MA to Str. Frasinuilui , Nr. 1, Bl. D2, Sc. B, Ap. 6. In Brasov, Romania. (How’s that for an address?!)
I am excited to be returning to ‘the other land that I love’ (Romania!) on July 6 – landing in Frankfurt, Germany on the 7th – and then, to Bucharest – and finally up into the Transylvanian Alps to Brasov. Lord willing, I will be hands-on in the work until the first week of October. I can hardly wait.
I am so excited to be headed back to ‘the other land that I love’, Lord willing, on July 6. I miss my babies! I miss my kids! This summer will mark seventeen years in Romania – and I truly feel after all this time that I am their ‘Mama Dawn’. In a couple of weeks, or so, when it begins to warm up, the big kids at Barza Mica sit on the little rock wall outside the orphanage and stare up into the sky looking for planes. Every time they see one, they say, “I wonder if this is the one that is bringing ‘Mama Dawn’? Oh, I can hardly wait to get there – and love and hug them all. And to be able to minister to our little Severe/Profound ones at Albina!
