Still spreading Joy!!!!!!

Today we decorated the children's hospital. What a blessing that was!!! It is also a tribute to the work of Debbie and Randy, all the volunteers that came before us and First Baptist Ocala.

We visited the remote village of Valani. REMOTE!!!! The children enjoyed the program once again! Pam shared about the true gift of Christmas....Thank You Holly!!!

We were invited to a church members home for traditional Romanian style dinner. We had four courses: Sunday soup (homemade chicken noodle), Chicken legs with potatoes along with pickled peppers and cucumbers, Cabbage rolls (that were outstanding), Walnut bread for dessert. To top the evening off it started to snow as we were leaving.

The team is tired but healthy!!! We are going to bed early so we can rise early for a "pork" killing a tradition to celebrate St. Nicholi Day to bring in the Christmas Season.

WEE, WEE, WEE...all the way to the frying pan!!! That fresh sausage will be great!!!
Still wishing I was there with you...the Children's Hospital photos brought back so many memories of the sick children that were there at the time...including abandoned ones.
Praying that you see God everywhere you go!
