Hello everybody!
You should soon receive my first letter to the sponsors! In the meantime, here's some news!
This week has been mostly quiet, a priest french (St. John) who settled in Bucharest came to rest three days in our little wooden house and we made a small retreat. Yesterday we did with him a ride to the highest mountain peak in the area.
We met neither bear nor boar, or wolf, or lynx, for cons, we have 3 dogs and we have glimpses escorts two deer!
Once arrived up there, we had a magnificent view of the hills and mountains that surround Deva. We went through a snowy forest and were able to continue the snowballs! Eral before I have a lot but finally, ca worth it!
And Sunday is the Monastery with 3 boys we made a walk in the forest enneigeee, but this time it was a hill.
three children; Shoni, 14, Pauli, 14, and David, 10 assists came on the weekend with us because they were the only ones of their host family not to go home for the weekend . We play Mille Bornes, makes crepes and Gogosh (kinds of cakes that the kids here love it), build a snowman .... I think they were happy with their weekend.
They are very endearing and sensitive children who sometimes often demand a very careful mother.
Next Sunday there in Romania with the election of deputies. A Deva, there are several parties Romanian and one Hungarian. And we became friends with the Hungarian MP who is also french teacher and primarily responsible for all schools of Deva. And it is good for us!
In fact, in the district hardest of Deva, the Grigorescu, located behind the railway tracks, lives a family that has asked us to help educate her children. Seuleument, one is 11 and has attended school only 2 years old, the other is 7 years old (1yr so late) and the last 5. They have few resources. They are gypsies and the school is not always simple because they do not really fit into the frame. The guideline, which is not easy does not want them. But fortunately, just at the right time, we've got to know Martha, the deputy, whose simple phone call solved the problem of 3 children!
This story reflects a good living here. We establish a schedule for the week as needed, but trying to remain very open to events and people we meet. This is what makes the interest of our days, the unexpected and then this allows us to establish contacts often helpful to our mission.
I also have the opportunity to do things very surprised if I do not m'attandais to do here. For example, a ginger bread .... you know, the castles gingerbread with candy and icing sugar snow that children do for Christmas in the U.S. (and traditionally in Germany).
is Laura, the American who organizes an exhibition of Associations Hunedoara which we will attend before Christmas. And to attract children and therefore adults (!), We make the castle of Hunedoara in cake!
For this we use 20 egg yolks, 7 liters of honey, about 10 kilos of flour, sugar and spices! And to do that, we went to a bread factory. Carrement we were in awe of the "bakers" which suddenly offered us each a loaf.
We were 8 of which a majority of Americans and we found our 2 Mormons.
Have you the answer since my last article?! This is a
American sect in which one progresses through degrees and one of the steps is from 2 years overseas to evangelize history. So they did not hesitate to invite themselves to us! I'll tell you later! That
for today or my day started strong. After Mass, we raccompagnons every morning one of our favorite garnds mothers who have trouble walking. And we stopped at her house and her son passed. He used to serve us a delicious aperitif sugar that makes him even (people distill their alcohol here ..!). I managed to escape to the cafe (pretty bad here ...) but not at the same shot that second helping me ... And Ben has fasted 8am, I struggle to prevent me back the next time, I would not have!
Thanks for all your mails, messages and letters, you and your encouragement makes me very happy! And I mean to you.
you soon!
P s: Anne-Francoise, can you give me your mail I will respond!
