Praying I was hoping you'd posted your arrival this morning (Sunday). It may be Sunday night there. I don't know the diff in time zone. Please tell Marilynn, Teresa and Julie I am praying for them every day. I am praying for all of you to have strength, be well, float on clouds of prayer that are being offered up for you.
To Amy Hi Amy - Your journal has once again been interesting reading! I hope you will all recover quickly. You may be exhausted, but you've obviously made a difference in so many lives of people you never would have met. Enjoy the rest of your trip and have a safe journey home.
P.S. - I got a seat in the Claudine Hellmuth workshop this Sat. - I'll have to share what I learn with you when you return!

Letter from Mom Hi Amy, Glad to hear so many good things happening. We are so proud of you and the group and what you are doing there. Do you need arrangements to be picked up at airport? Grandpa is doing ok, has a long road ahead of him, dad is with him. Keep praying for him. We miss you. The boys are fine, Aidan had blood work today and he was tramatized, but doing ok now. See you on Saturday. Mom
I guess you all are keeping my husband and son so busy they don't have time to call. Hope all is well and everything that was planned is getting accomplished. Kat and Tony's wedding was very nice. The only bad part was the rainstorm that happened as the wedding part was trying to get to the reception at OBC. The rest of us got there and began the feast at least an hour and a half before the bride and groom. All was well though. Things at the church are coming along nicely, repairs seem to be on schedule (Pastor Mike will like that)! Stay safe and share the love. See you all Saturday.
P.S. Tell Kelly Collico Josh's AOL email does not work, that is why he can't respond to her emails. Matthew Adams is trying to get it fixed, but you know how priorty works, it's not one! See you all on Saturday, please don't lose my husband and son on the way home, I want them back.
Love, kisses and hugs
Hey!!! Its good to hear that everyone is doing good. I wouldnt get too excited over the cabins yet if my dad and my brother are the ones building it(joking of course). I wish I could be their but the wonderful world of insurance beckons. I hope and pray for the best for you guys over there!!! And Amy just try not to get sick again and also make sure that none of the Romanians get bit by "THE BLACK WIDOW"" Alright be good. Tell my dad and my brother I love them and miss them.
We're home Hey Amy,
We are home, glad things are going well for you over there. We are praying for you all. H-Dennis came ashore at Pensecola as category 3, minimal damage. NO reported deaths. More later, Love mom
Sounds good Hi again.Sounds like all is going well. Thanks for putting this together for us to read at home.It makes us feel a little closer to all of you. May our Lord continue to watch over you and all your endeavors. Love Dad piorkowski
We're praying What wonderful technology that gives us peaks into what you are doing. Rest assured that we are praying for you daily and cannot wait to see how the Lord is using you. We'll be especially praying in our small groups today at church. We love all of you and are faithfully holding the ropes back home.
We are praying for you! Glad everyone is doing well.
We just talked about the Church as an organism vs. an organization. The Church is much bigger than we can comprehend and this shows that it is all over the world. We are happy to have you representing us there.
Hi! Amy, Sorry the flannel graph didn't make it. I know how hard you worked on it. God has a plan :) I miss Romania more than I ever thought I would! Reading these messages takes me back. Praying for all of you. Cindy
Hello fromLas Vegas Dad Hi all. This is the father of Todd,Pam, and grandfather or Bradley. I Just want to say that all are in my prayers,and I wish I were there. I was there 6 years ago, and can still see the beauty. I know our Lord will bless your mission in many ways, more than you will see.Plant all the seeds toy can muster up, and let the Lord take care of the fertilizing and watering. Much Love,
Greetings from the homeland Hey,
I just wanted to say hi and that I am praying for you guys. I hope all is well! Love you all. Have a great, safe trip!
Thanks! I loved your journal! I'm getting ready to go to Romania for a mission trip in June. This was VERY helpful preparing me for all the differences
our countries have. I'll be staying in Oradea and visiting the orphanges quite often! Thanks so much! I was wondering if Romania was still a comunist country, and what was the best type of medicine to take over there(incase i get sick).

God bless... It's always a blessing to see others who cares for Romania, the orphans and Gypsies etc.
I've been to Romania many times and know it's hard, especially to leave all the friends you are making. Again, God bless you for what you'r doing

To Erin Thank you for the corrected information on the name of the people group we visited. I personally have grown to love these people and I in no way want to tarnish all of the work we did with "degradating" terms or names. I simply went with the name "Gypsy" because it was used by the locals and all of the workers that introduced us to these people. So I must claim ignorance to any cultural or social significance of that label. Remember that labels only hurt if we let them. Thanks for your comment.
Amy :)

Cool Way to end a Trip! Miss you guys! Awesome trip to the orphanage. Did you give them all the candy you guys had? Have a safe trip. We'll see you guys soon. Some sooner than others. =D - Eunice

What A Day Wow, the thought of those little toddlers and babies made me sad to know you had to leave them behind. I know several of you would like to have smuggled them out to a better way of life. What an experience you had. We look forward to your return home and pictures and to listen to you share your stories. Have a safe return journey. Love and miss you. Hug the Shaw kids and Tarl for us. Love mom - Bev Shaw
So Proud I am so proud of the way you all aredoing God's work. Hope you all keep it up and become shinning examples of what we all need to be in Christ. God bless you all.
P.S. Ask Heather when and where we need to pick them up. - John Denamrk
To Rebecca Knight I did not have an email address for Tony, so I emailed flight arrangements from Chicago to St. Louis to both Tarl and Adrienne's email. I hope one on them can access the message. God bless and have a safe trip. - Ron Knight
