Today was a long and busy day. We started early this morning because there was still so much to do. The two wood stoves were put in and the plumber fixed the toilet. The kitchen is painted. Most of the doors have been painted. There was still quite a bit of sorting and organizing to do with clothes and toys. Donnie put together more shelving units.
Tomorrow we'll go to church. George is going to preach which will be awesome, because we'll need no translation! We will go out to the center later in the day to fix the fence and put a lock on an apartment off the back of the house, and clean up just a bit.
Monday or Tuesday the tile will be finished in the kitchen. We'll put everything in it's place, to include the appliances for the kitchen. Kitchen cabinets won't be done for a couple more weeks. They are going to look great!
We are completely worn out today but it is worth every minute of the work that we've done and have yet to do. Tuesday morning, the six kids will be picked up and brought to the center and we will dedicate the center to God and have a celebration! We can't wait!
Please keep us in your prayers to stay strong and finish the task at hand. Pray for Abel, Samuel, Alex, Florica, Simona and Maria as they are about to go through a transition period that will change their lives. Pray for Rachel and Erin as they have a huge responsibility but huge hearts for God and for the children of Romania. Please pray for the ministry, FMN, for child sponsors and monthly donors to continue the work that is being done in Romania. Pray that God will be honored and glorified in all that has and is being done through FMN. Pray for an end of the cycle of abandonment and neglect of the children in the Gypsy community. Pray about how God can use you in the work of FMN. http://fmnministries.org

WOW! You all are sure working hard, and making such progress. Love the colors; will make a bright and happy home for all the children. Like Beth, I'm at my computer early and often looking for the next postings. God is soooooo good and doing tremendous things through all of you. What a life changing blessing for all the little ones. We are continuing to offer up many thanks for all that God has done, and will do, in Romania and the Gypsy Village through Rachel, Isy, Erin and "our" team.

What a great thing that all of you are doing for Rachel, the children coming to the center this week and for all those who will come in the future! The pictures are awesome!GEORGE...I believe I recognize that orange yarn hat as one that my wonderful ladies in the nursing home made for us...it looks GREAT on you!!!! I also recognize many of the things you already have on the shelves as those that I packed for you you last week...makes me feel good to know that I was able to help in some small way here in Indiana. May God bless all those who have donated the many things that will enable Rachel to care for these children and God bless the team for all the work they are doing. I miss you all!!!
Love...Paula
I have only seen George preach one time when my sister-in-law was baptised, and it was awesome. I am sure you are enjoying having his upbeat personality around. Take care, and thanks for all of your hard work and caring hearts.
Love, Becky
