Well the team has come and gone, my mother surprised me and came with them that was nice.
Umm I'm still doing well summer is going well it is hot here, and right now what we are doing is Mondays are off days, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays we do a kids program with the kids in Carmidar Tuesdays we sing some songs and pray with the kids, and Wednesdays we watch a movie and make popcorn or have watermelon for them, and on Thursdays we do a craft with them. Umm Fridays are still team meetings and Saturdays I still have the girls craft thing and Saturdays and Sundays I'm in Chiselet and Saturday night is church and Sunday is kids and youth. We had a trip with the Girls from Chiselet with the money you gave and we went to the beach I will put together the pictures so you can see how much they enjoyed it, it was a really great time and they really enjoyed themselves, and the boys had a soccer camp which you also helped make happen, Thank you so much for being apart of what I'm doing here by prayer and also financially I wish you could be able to experience it first hand and not just hear it from me.

The team is coming!!!

I'm leaving in a few minuets to go pick up the team, I'm much looking forward to seeing them and just keep all of us in your prayers that we may do the work that God has for us. umm also a quick update on me I'm doing really well, and my ticket to return to Pennsylvania is set for October 10th and my ticket was only able to be changed once so this is my final date. I don't really have much more to say so the end.

Eghhh just some pictures...

Hey so this is a video that I made for my birthday. 

And a quick update on how I'm doing, ummm Sunday afternoon I was playing some soccer and I sprained my foot right behind the big toe, so keep me in your prayers with that. :) umm other than that I'm doing well :)

 The only nice part about my foot being injured was I got to have Rosa on my lap and take some pictures with her :) 

also a quick update my foot feels a ton better I'm now walking without the crutches and I just have a limp because I'm limiting the weight I put on it. Thanks for your prayers :) 

Birfday!

 These are some of the girls in Chiselet.

Okay, so friends of mine, ha-ha, Since I’m going to be in Romania for my birthday and I don’t know if you were/are planning on doing something for it or not, but I do have a birthday wish.

This summer in Chiselet (Romania), a village where I spend a some of my time; they are trying to plan a camping trip for five days for 80 youth.  The cost is going to be about $4,000 which sounds like a lot, but when you think about it, it really isn’t that much for 80 people for food, transportation, lodging, and stuff.  It comes out to $50.00 per person.

So now I will get to my birthday wish. You may be aware of the fact that I am a really hard person to buy gifts for; and when you ask me what I want, I never know… so here is your opportunity. I finally know what I want! This year for my birthday instead of sending me a card (as much as I would love getting a card from you) I would like for the youth of Chiselet to be able to go camping so much more! So here is what I’m asking you to do, whatever money you would have put into buying and mailing a card or present if I were home and I had a birthday party or something; instead give that amount to my mom and tell her what it is for, even though she would probably already know because you don’t normally just give her money.  You don’t just give my mom money do you? Well if you do you are for sure going to have to specify what it is for… ha-ha, so yeah give it to her and she will take good care of keeping track of it and getting it to me (you know she used to work in a bank?) And if you are not going to see my mom you can mail it to my house my address is: 331 Rosebud Road Myerstown PA 17067

Guys this would be the best gift ever! I mean cards are cool and gifts are neat and all; but, I really think this would be one of those things that goes beyond “Cool” and “Neat”.   I think that it will have an effect on the lives of the teens in this village.  These are teens that would not normally come to the church service, youth group, or the boys and girls program, but will come to this.  Seeds will be planted and souls will be won. I’m going to use a preacher line here and say “What gift is better than the gift of salvation?”  Thanks for being apart of my time here and praying for me and being supportive of me, may God bless you 

Oops it has been a while again... Sorry about that.

Well, let's see there has not really been all that much new stuff that has happened since I last updated I'm still doing the same things with the same people :) Oh we got a sink like a real sink at the Hope Center it has made doing the dishes a ton better before this we has a small kitchen sink but now the dishes can be done in a breeze! ha-ha

Umm funny story today I called the sun a sword... it was rainy out and me and another girl were walking and the sun started to come out and I said "Look the sword!" but I wanted to say "Look the sun!"... haha

in Romanian Sword is= Sabie. and sun is= Soare.

So she had a really confused look on her face and I was like "What did I just say??" And then I was like "Sabie? sabie? what does that mean??" And then I remembered and I corrected myself Ha-ha it made for a rather funny few minuets...

 In time I shall concur this language! ha-ha 

                                      

Umm I went to the Black Sea for a day with some cool kids

Here are some pictures of my time in Chiselet. 

As you can tell I'm working really hard. : ) 

Some Caramidari kids

Continue to keep me and the Out stretched hands team in your prayers.

I have also made the decision to stay longer than June 27th I'm not sure at this point how much longer I will be staying but it will be longer than June so pray that God will lead me in how much longer I should stay. 

May God bless and keep you and make his face shine upon you.
