• Greetings from Romania. We had our 2nd clinic day in Soard. Busy, busy day, we saw 171 people. I was told that this was probably the hardest village we would go to. Linda, our host mom, took us on a walk about to see how they live. Most of the people we see are Gypsies, Romania has 3 classes, the rich, the poor and the Gypsies. They usually live on the out side of the villages, or even the woods. They live in a one room house, made without foundations and walls of manure. Most have worms, and of course open sewers, usually the street. It was truly heart breaking to see, especially, 10-15 year old mothers. Yet truly an honor to be part of a team here to serve the Lord, being Jesus hands and feet, giving a cup of water. The clinics have gone great, thanks for all your prayers. From Ken's perspective...
• From the construction crew: We checked the web and saw that we were supposed to build a shed. So, we didn't...at least not yet. We continued working on the duplex out at Laslea. We covered vent holes in the attic, built partitioning walls, dry walled and a few other tasks. Our excitement came after David McGuire mistakenly took a sip of gas (petro) from a lemon lime soda 2L bottle thinking it was actually lemon lime soda. Silly man! He paid a visit to Doc Steve and Pharmacist John who definitely made him feel better. From Brad's perspective (with a little help from Val)
