How Does Hiv Skin Rash Look Like
Zuia buna!
Sorry for the long months of silence that left me some relief .. We are now 5
after the departure of Margaret. Benedict, 29 years from the South and Delphine, 21 who is Belgian and proud of it! Here
little summary of our week long!
We now have a 6 pm Mass for Advent, I like it a lot because the expectation of the dawn each morning helps me become aware of the expectation of Christ. And at this early hour, people answered the call, the small grands.Moi who do not follow too early riser, I rediscovered the pleasure of waking up this hour or so and where it is nice to be out already!
Last Tuesday, we meet Christina we loose each times very difficult, she has so much to say! And we met Ana Maria, a daughter of Cluj is in medical school. The previous team had met two years ago. She had two experiences in Africa, more or less happy. It's a girl who looks A LOT and wanted to go home one time the sisters.
the evening, Martha and I went in Rafi (gabor Gypsy family we are very close), Marcu, the eldest son of his 8 ans.Il Braia feast was more pleased with our map that Harry Potter sunglasses ( he believed it was a sign of Harry!) As usual the house was full of prompts Rafis Romanian, Hungarian and foreign (us)! Moni (Attila's wife) was and now she leads the, sometimes it is our driver.
Wednesday morning, I accompanied the Martha Hall who holds weekly audiences with the mayor. She sought ways to work. Counselor, was very nice attention to its application and requested a resume. We are then passed to the Police who said it could work if the company that made the hiring procedures.
Benedicte and Delphine went to Romanian language courses, it's going very well since they arrived because they have changed the method and arrive with questions or work, we, more highly motivated, were just having coffee and discuss!
Monette was on the Internet to find sponsors for it extends its mission.
Ana Maria was always a Deva came to lunch with us then it is the small
Ana-Maria in our neighborhood that is happening with a small chip. It was fun because children are scarce right now (many are in France, we should see them come back for Christmas).
With Martha, we crossed our path Elisabeta that asks us to accompany him to his mother to retrieve his papers and finally become part of the neighborhood she said. We have to recover accompanying papers to apply for a disability to benefit Elisabeta. Is that these parents say they try, but Elisabeth did not want to stay in the hospital, they can complete the process. The Mother looks sincere when it says it wants to help her (Elisabeth is pregnant is unable to adequately care for her) but who grew up in orphanages Elisabeta, does not recognize Gypsy and is unable to share their lives . It is a very very independent girl who does not trust people dns or her. It is very truamtisee by his childhood in orphanages.
Finally, parents do not give us the papers and then demand that we had nothing, the father (stepfather), was forbidden to touch the board .... so we fear that they benefit already. Elisabeth lives in a very large pre-critical physical and social.
Then, remembering that it was a year that Monica was dead, we are alleys in Camin. On the road, we came across Marian's son, Mariana, saddled with the hat and scarf with the name of the candidate for president!
The father of Monica and her sister, who greeted us did not seem to remember the date annivesary, or they were just like ... Dad s'occuppe all day her little son while his wife works every day doing the housework at the piata (walking). Father of Monica asked us news of Attila who once had his car carrying Monica to Point Heart.
night, Mike, an American volunteer in the Peace Corps because he was the organizer of last year as a lounge associations. He who usually is "so supportive" enthusiastic and seemed very depressed and sad. Our Superman tear a little ...
And besides, it was the day we decided to change a bit our relationship with him if we continued the welcome. Without any malice or ulterior motive, he had a little too settled in our house. We saw that this was part of its culture so it was a bit tricky for us.
We wanted to continue the welcome because we feel that our home allows him to talk a little, meet friends ... but we were more at ease, a little confused by his nature a bit 'without gene '.
Then we abandoned in the kitchen with a book on Van Gogh for a community meeting. Our new community and the many changes it causes oblige us many hours of discussion, tiring but very useful for now. Already, it goes a little better!
Then, while the girls were on the internet, I went with the Gradinite Monette's Monastery (daycare host families). It's always an opportunity to know the newcomers and to create links with the many children of the Monastery. They give the impression of never being full of love. It's just an hour with them but it gives us the opportunity to wear their davacntage attention.
lunch it was the occacsion a discussion about food, about a little hot for some time, and that has really become problematic. So. AC will be our next community school! For me personally, the difficulty is in the image of that of Romania: everything is close at hand in stores: butter, jam, chocolate, coffee ... but prices are not accessible to most people.
The after-noon, Monette and Benedicte went to visit Argentina in a hospital blockade, carantaine. They were exceptionally allowed to enter, while families remained at the door .. Argentina, who grabs is banned from leaving cold and the days are very long for this girl (since she saw the baby, who contracted AIDS. .. she is now 18 years). We believe the take in the days around Christmas, so it is allowed to leave ... With
Benedicte and Mrtha, we went to Bolas who has helped us lay out a letter telling our 15 years ... to follow!
Friday morning, we were able to take time with Mike about a breakfast a little American.
Then in the morning, we stuck in the city of posters announcing the event.
Next, with Benedicte and Martha always, we visited a Lucia, our Romanian teacher but rather as a friend.
She also made the traductiuon CV Martha.
At meals, Constantine (propodus for those who know him in this terrible name), a farm boy from our street is happening. For 10 days, he multiplies visits and asked to make a cake with us. This is the cejour we understood why he came sansn ceases, even if we put at the door, he announces he's leaving the next day in Belgium (although often it is learned after!).
Then Martha and Benedicte went to visit a Renata, our little neighbor who was very depressed because of a love story .. Her situation is not easy because she lives with her grandparents she helps a lot (his grandmother is disabled due to stroke), his parents are separated and even despite all the harm she hears about her mother, she gets along well with her.
Before the meal, we made a quick visit Renata, and with a curling iron, hair we were able to smile again! We left home with a new head!
Saturday morning, we prepared the house, the chapel and a meal as a 15h, Father Leander came to celebrate a Mass on our new wooden altar (made around the gift of our Father Tibi for 15 years!). The Romanian youth were there for the occasion. We then offered a eptit meal.
Then we did a community school on friendship (text by Paul Anel) following a question from Monette in meeting community).
community school, ie discussion about a text and link with our experience, feel, question each day, the elapsed Semine in particular.
Then, the girls prepared small gifts to distribute in neighborhoods to the Saint Nicolas.
The next after-noon, Benedict was so disguised in San Nicolas and me evil man and we went to Mintia (wait, the pictures you will see is not sad!). cCrtains my children jumped into the arms as if I was dressed and wearing the most normal of the world! We've all passed a very beautiful moment, and what affects us Benedicte and I was happy to see the children of course, but also the parents!
The girls went to Bejan, Delphine Saint Nicolas and Martha evil man (Monette had a bad souyvenir custody of that role last year).
In the evening, Edith is happening here, then I take her home. She is out of the house, she told me how she felt at ease and at home herself, unlike her job or she felt too different to be able to behave normally.
Monday morning, community meetings and household.
And happy surprise visit ... "Attila returned last night from Switzerland.
Then, while Martha and Benedicte (still in Saint Nicolas) were a Pedial and Camin, we went to face the Gregorescu 3 ( district the hardest). We had developed a plan ..! Monette was Saint Nicholas, and the wicked man, who changes into contact with St. Nicola became Man hewureux. Delphine was dressed so full of different colors and had a heart and a flower on her cheeks, she was the assistant of Saint Nicolas! Me, I served as a bodyguard! We also decided not to give the toys in homes, in the order. Finally, AC was a bit 'hot' but it went well anyway. We came back exhausted but happy.
Here for this week!
I kiss you and promise you trying to rewrite soon! At least more quickly than those 4 long months!

Good Landscaping Slogans
How to spend the month of August? I imagine a Paris very quiet these days, so that we can enjoy in this period! Anyway, good luck to those who will remain in town, working.
Now it's almost the opposite for me, I'm always glad of every opportunity that allows me to see a little better on the horizon, but at the same time, a small tower in department stores or even until the Capital fills me with happiness!
As you might guess, I am! Unfortunately, my little sister just left in France ...
She came to spend a week with us Deva, then we escape for a short shopping trip and stroll through the capital. It was strange enough to share all that I live here with her is so different all this, but it was above all a great time for both girls and environment of our friends here. And now I want her back for him to discover further and continue our discussions!
The capital seems to me each time more beautiful because under his tunes communist concrete in the way it hides many splendors and corners very nice and wide boulevards very green at some places are fun to browse.
Good August 15 and Special dedication to my little Emilia for her birthday ...!

Tabaco Katowicka Opole
Letter No. 3
"Francis of Assisi died in a shack.
He died without owning anything.
When the earth is nothing, everything was the sky.
The less attached to things of this world, your heart is light.
Francis had no children, so no need to focus on material goods.
On land, it must be that the parents earn money to help their children grow. They must always be attached to things of this world.
I asked myself the question: "What Francis gave to others, since he himself had nothing? "
was the example of wealthy people who create foundations, open hospitals, clinics, schools.
What can a poor offer? Sometimes
necessarily empty-handed.
And if we could also offer its poverty? The
material deprivation can sometimes dig the incredible riches of the heart.
A heart of poor can be so rich that an overflow of spiritual wealth incomparable value.
The poor of Assisi could give that money does not do. When men or women were in distress, it was for them the words of a true comfort.
He consoled.
Money does not console us.
When our heart is hurt, we need the love that is given a heart to heart. Francis knew
offer tenderness.
animals approached.
It is said that birds liked brushing. His presence
was filled with the spirit of God.
It was a comfort to all living beings, human or not.
He offered the part of the sky that lived in his soul.
We too often forget - we can give not only what one has, but what we are.
When I arrived at the slum, I had nothing to give.
I was penniless. The media did not know me and not interested in me. I had no money to distribute.
I was neither a doctor nor a nurse.
I was talking bad Arabic and I was sixty-two years. I learned too
wealth of poverty.
I realized that because they can not give what I had, I could give what I was. Give the best of myself as speaking in prayer, in relationship to God.
There is incredible depth in this self-giving.
When we believe we have nothing to give, they are mistaken.
can still give what one is. "
Sister Emmanuelle -" My spiritual testament "
Dear family,
Dear friends, Dear
sponsors
is my third letter which I hope finds you in shape. Forgive me for not giving you more news. I have no excuses, except here as elsewhere time is passing too fast and leaves hardly tame!
In nine months of the mission, I begin to better understand the soul of this country, to know the realities, the best as the toughest and now that I can manage in Romanian, I learned to love the language. And then the ties with the people around me and the girls have become strong enough that I draw all the strength and faith I need each day.
Point Heart is an NGO very different from all others and far removed from our concept of progress. There is no comparison since our action takes place in a completely level, that of Man and the health of his soul and his heart. Already as a nurse, I found that it took a prominent place in my work because if I stopped at the single execution of technical care, I could not do my little patient and even his parents.
Here, as in France, it is not strictly necessary, which is most lacking, by cons loneliness is one of the greatest sufferings that we encounter. What people ask us most often is: "When are you coming?" "When will you return?" "Why do not you come more often? ... "
Here is an excerpt from a text by Father Thierry, the founder of Heart, which clearly explains this thirst
" Many men hide their hunger. Many play with their hunger. Others even betray one day we discovered dead by suicide or anorexia. In countries with abundant money, hunger - all hunger - has become a disgrace, as if gold was the result of annihilating it. That is to misunderstand yet on what hunger. It is by no means a disgrace. It is dynamic. It is open to what is given. It is a spring tended toward communion.
[...] If our Western countries recognize that one is hungry like an admission of leprosy, it is not the same in most countries where the Heart's installed. Here, hunger is bare. Hunger is too glaring for us to hide it. Rather it is sufficient to direct it. Rather it is sufficient to make him the next level. Then she demean older who suffers, but the student and helps him regain his dignity as a man, the son of God. "
While here I learned the simplicity and solidarity, I try to offer in exchange for the dignity, of hope, an opening to something else.
Each country's history and its problems. Here, the consequences of communism are everywhere. It has of course slowed the development of the country and plunged in corruption, but he also attacked in his humanity, his soul, his inner being.
The first thing that one notices immediately is that beauty has disappeared as the country and has been forgotten. Heritage is not always kept. In town, the concrete blocks have replaced traditional houses, the countryside is dotted with places of factories sometimes immense, which are decaying and have polluted the country well, beautiful sites like the mountains are numerous but very little known and popular of the Romanians. The interiors of houses are often in bad taste and there are few traditional items, handicrafts and furniture family.
Their isolation, however, allowed them to retain some fine traditions and customs: dancing and regional clothes, their respect for elders, their way of burying their dead, their hard work on the land ...
Communism has also been the effect of breaking their trust, their hope. Expressions of Romanians express a certain fatalism, like resignation: "What can we do? "That's life." "Thus is the situation."
Finally, communism has killed the freedom of individuals and therefore their sense of initiative or sense of responsibility. They did not used to commit or take a stand.
But in the end, the hope is they are looking and if someone is there to offer them a project they meet present and available.
So, we who have been fortunate to grow up differently, we can contribute to help them regain what they have forgotten or lost.
Already they are very touched to see us leave everything to live in their country and amazed when they see how we are attached while here, however, many depart. Whether Gypsies, Hungarians and Romanians, all have family in Italy, Hungary, Germany, France, Spain, England, Canada or the USA.
Yet it is true that our core curriculum is not the most ambitious since these friendships. But this friendship, we want real and meaningful and it is not so simple after all!
For this, it must initially be anchored in everyday and in response to individual needs. Here
jumble a few examples of recent weeks:
In these days of good weather, we like to take some kids and take them to the park or at home for activities that are fun and educational and trying them are not usually home. This allows them to leave their family or their neighborhood and see something else. In small groups, we can bring them more attention and find the hardest normal behavior.
When a child needs more attention, we try to do more things with it and adapt to its difficult to help. For example, we noticed a small three-year lives and our neighborhood is already very violent and does not listen much. He comes to us from time to time and recently, it was his mother who has noticed the behavior of his son who came to seek help.
Similarly, we appeal to the neighborhood children (the gaps for them are more in education or the family in physical conditions) to help us some work from home: harvesting fruit, gardening, making cakes ... So, we share good times together through these activities that can help too.
When a birthday, we try to celebrate. Have been present this week to Anouchka Tanti, who celebrated his eighty-six, seemed important to her. She loves and needs someone around him. Similarly for Renata celebrating her sixteenth birthday and who seems so sad and lonely sometimes. This is our little neighbor and her family life is not simple.
And then we went to the doctor several times with Aunt Margaret, our lovely neighbor who knows Heart's by heart! She can not move alone.
Sometimes we also often take the time listen to one or the other, share family albums, collecting the experiences of our former neighborhood, learn with them ... Romanian cuisine
In our address book, there are all kinds of people, it helps us keep an open mind on all the realities, not just those in poverty or that of the Gypsies. And even this may allow us to help the weakest of our friends. I think Elisabeta with his heart so big and fragile. The world of work it is not suitable. We talked with the member and his wife who have listened with great seriousness and seeking knowledge from their work that would suit him.
As for the city hospital, I know him well, having made numerous visits and even having spent a night with Aunt Victoria who had just made a stroke. There is also
Marcello who was married and invited us. He came the first time Heart's demand for money. Gradually, he understood our refusal and we became friends. He has traveled a long way since now he is very proud to present its brand new apartment, his job ... and all that, he got it with dignity, working, climbing and folders by inspiring confidence in people, including the mayor of his town, invited to the wedding. He became someone.
We are also quite affected by a group of young Romanians that we met at church. They are in the minority since the Hungarian Catholics. Initially, they did not know and had their separate ways. In addition, parents are Orthodox or non-practicing. So we want to offer them different activities that can unite them, give them marks for their lives and help them in their choice. I certainly have the opportunity to get back to you!
In recent weeks, piles of watermelons juicy flourished in the city. The growers come from Oltenia for sale in town all summer. We met with those from our neighborhood: a mother and daughter. They sleep in a tent on the sidewalk, eating cold and simple and the mother can not leave his booth. So we talk and play with Ana and share coffee.
Finally, we want available to all who pass by our house. Among others, we had several young French or Romanian curious to see what we were doing.
And for the anecdote, we even board at this time a wounded bird made by a neighborhood child! This friendship
therefore passes first through things very concrete and discussions every day. Thus, a real bond and a trust is created.
Secondly, I see that our attitude to our friends is extremely important and very much, although I am not aware.
Here is an excerpt from a letter by Fra Angelico for his friend at Christmas:
"Friend,
There is nothing I could offer you that you already have, but there are many things I can not give and you can take. "
Sister Emmanuel says:" There is nothing I could offer you that you already have "; it is essential to realize this truth. Otherwise the risk is great to crush others with what is believed to provide. The best way to enrich the other is to help discover its hidden treasures that do not know. "
To discover its riches for the other it reveals itself and becomes a person according to his destiny. That despite the hardships, he can stand firm and remain confident, calm, happy, not fleeting joys but deeply happy.
Itsu is for me the perfect example of what kind of people who have such a life force in them that leaves them, though happens, a light heart. Anton, her husband eventually died, two months ago (see previous letter) peacefully in his sleep despite his condition ... In response to his complaints, demands and repeated requests to die (in recent weeks he had subsided), it has remained at once sweet, tolerant, but firm with him. And now, despite the loss of a loved one, and other events that have not been spared, she continues her life and even reinvents enjoying the free time she had more. She left her family that she did see not seen for nine years, she visits her friends in the city center where she did well, she rearranges her house ...
Our visit, she calls and gets us like queens, but she does not know how precious his friendship for us is always a pleasure to push the door and happy that we leave the house (especially when we served beer or liquor traditional Romanian!).
In fact, what I'm here full time is a "work" valid at any place and any time with everyone. During my schooling, I could train my head a little in the garden of my grandparents and my scouts able to train my hands, school nurse, my practical mind. Here I can, away from my routine, a little away from a society that considers critical and easily (it seems our reputation and one of the observations I've done seen here), and too often forget that suffering is unfortunately part of this world, so far the framework within which I have my brand, I find myself disturbed and thus learn to train my heart and eyes of my heart as ever.
And look, surprise, sometimes the gift of personal transformation. Anton which suspended its complaint to listen to us sing and finally smiled. Constantine, a boy of eleven years sometimes very hard, but becomes gentle as a lamb and covers the qualities of childhood by the attitude that one has to face him. These grandmothers stand up starting with their health on a fatalistic tone but let us go a big smile on his lips (I must say that if the family around them well, medicine leaves them very difficult days). There are also these men a bad reputation as the husband of Elisabeth who will open their heart. I also think the beggars who do not hesitate sometimes to lose all human dignity for pennies or even for a song sandwich and change at all when everything speaks to them and we care about them or if we play when it comes to children. Thus, they can "take a bearing" as the Father said Thierry. So
work of a lifetime that I learn, work endlessly changed my life because it allows me to see things and people differently. It's as if my humanity awakened and aroused another.
Is this that today I seem to find treasures, gold nuggets among the people I meet.
And conversely, the eyes of others on me is essential and keep me out of myself. The girls are pretty good at it, Marguerite with her humor, her kindness with Monette and Martha with her patience. And then when it's us it's not going well, they are our friends who take us back to reality. This community life is a bit of a miracle because I can tell you that with our different characters, cultures, education and age, it's not always easy but it works since, after these few months, we are as a family where we know well, look out for each other, and when one missing, the boat is unbalanced. This unit is very important to be able to go outside and be able to offer others.
Finally, I admit that you help me as well, primarily because without your financial support, I would not be here and also because without your spiritual support and all your expressions of friendship, I'd probably already Fall!
aware that people here are grateful and the Heart's and Francaises (this is part of our nicknames despite our different nationalities and our excellent Romanian!) Has a lot to them (they're the ones who teach us the history Our Heart's Home).
So a big thank you to all of us.
And if you want a closer look at what a Heart's on your holiday, there is one who serves coffee in Paris, another Pastis Pignans (very nice village near Toulon), as at Old Mill, near Compiegne, tell me!
I embrace you and keep you in my prayers. Mathilde

Metallic Taste In Mouth After Wisdom Surgery
How do I stop the time, would not for a moment!
As usual we are overwhelmed, we're just girls in a house overflowing with work, and I would say even two houses!
But the sun is there, shining very hard, then the moral too!
And Monette's friend arrived and finally, she spent 10 days with us. She is adorable, help us well for the home and the continuities with the children. Our
4 goals of the moment:
- ourselves more children because it is nice and it is easier to take them at home or at the park.
- do emergency work to our mud house to let in good condition for the following!
- do all filled with plum jam and other plums in the garden (the children help us as well)
- making activities with young people that we know and who are bored during these long holidays
Now, a few anecdotes:
Last week, I made a cake for Mirabelle Tanti Anouchka which took 86 years, a very nice age to here. But I do not know why but here they do not sell nor eat the plums and some say even that is for pigs. But when I made my cake, I could not help but to add, they are so juicy and sucreees! and then, sometimes you get them to change their habits!
Yes but here, when they asked me what fruit it was, I could not lie despite Margaret's eyes ...! There was a great silence, so I asked them if he never ate the fruit, always great silence, new question .... silence ... Then those who were already served Sagent have finished their units very politely, and others have not served!
This is very good is that we have a margin in the guards because it is foreign and perhaps a bit weird sometimes! Still they do not know what they're missing!
Otherwise, I would like to give two children. There was a crash carts in one of the areas that we visit, Dad was down while the horse was packed with over the Mom and her three children. The vast
had a cerebral comotion, It currently has strong treatment that prevents for now to say whether she'll keep sequelae of the accident.
The second received a piece of wood near the oeuil and it was until now impossible to say whether he would keep to this oeuil.
The youngest is good.
They are home after 24 hours of hospitalization. They called and Rosalinda Petrishor (Small Stone)
It is a family that loves you and where you enmene often people who come to visit us. Thank
Otherwise, I give you news of the pie, she is finally part! She amused the children very much but hey, rating service, it was more complicated! That
for today!
This time, my letter is sent to sponsors, it should not delay.
Boncourage to those who work and happy holidays to others!

Shikakai Amla To Darken Hair
Hello everybody, I'm back
after a short tour of Romania!
I was visiting a friend, so I could take the opportunity to take a vacation and discover the best country.
We did a tour of Transylvania, dotted with Dacian citadels (the equivalent of our Gallic) and beautiful cities. Passing the Carpathians, we could see magnificent scenery and then we arrived in Moldova. This region, more precisely, the part Bucovina is famous for its very old Orthodox monasteries painted in bright colors. Therefore more spiritual atmosphere in beautiful surroundings. This region is more peasant, still using a lot of manual techniques: the scythe was mowing and cultivation using horses. Each owns a field, often quirky and very steep, but everything is very well cultivated and in early summer, the activity was at its height was our greatest happiness.
I have for now but my camera on my facebook, I was able to recover those of Marie-Astrid, and then there are many others.
If you do not know or are against facebook!, Ask someone to show you!
As soon as I can, I commend the blog.
It was therefore a very good week. It is a country that I recommend, not too developed for tourism, and therefore still retains its charm. People are friendly and very hospitable. Few hotels but much better, full of bed and breakfast or even in private homes. to do so, guide book in hand although they sometimes feel a little faster.
And the euro being a 4 lei, you are rich in this beautiful country!
On my return, Lucia, our Romanian teacher and her husband have enmene on one of the highest mountains and beautiful corner of the Retezat (photos to follow). Smooth transition before the blocks Deva! Then we
aceuillis for 3 days at Point Heart's sisters Margaret, who has helped us enmener difficult for neighborhood children to the park, it's changed a little. It went very well and seemed happiest in the world!
We expect a Belgian point in our Heart to successively take the hand of Marguerite in September and then activated twice!
Tonight we go over to a group of young people from Hungary!
you soon in my letter to the sponsors should happen this month ... I embrace you
Matilda

Brazilian Wax In Madison ,wi
Have you had a great feast of music?
Here, at least in Deva, it does not exist ...
Since then, a month, I'm just going into the neighborhoods, and I miss it a bit. We had a lot of passes, and strangely, it's still my day of service and so far the kitchen! I perfected recipes in Romanian So!
We've also been busy with our grandmothers. One with whom we have the Orthodox Easter celebrations.
A month ago, there was a pilgrimage organized by the Parish to be the most famous Marian Romania (at least among the Hungarians who make up the majority Catholic country). At the last moment we joined the group. Depart Friday at midnight to arrive in the morning and leave late afternoon after arriving in the night, sport is not it? There was
enormenent people, the crowd was composed of Hungarian (the only language spoken in this region of Romania is Hungarian) from Romania and elsewhere. At the microphone, a priest announced that some were even from Argentina, United States and France, people who knew us have immediately understood that we were there, no other foreigners in this place possible!
It was nice to see people full of motivation and faith, a long drive for a day at this place. Some came on foot or by bicycle. Traditionally
has every Pentecost (when the rally), it was pouring rain. People say it is the Spirit who blesses and actually, we were very blessed to the bone!
somewhat frozen so we were looking forward to our bed, but it was not written like that ...
On the way back, here is our Tanti Victoria (grandmother of whom I have spoken, but she was Orthodox romania came to see her son, who converted to Catholicism and became a priest), here it feels so bad, very bad. She was doing a stroke ...
Heureusemenr, we got to where we Deva bus queue in the hospital. After
auscultation and infusion, here we are with her in neurology. Completely terrified, she did not want left alone. Anyway, since the service is not the best, not SONET, nurse and caregiver for some standby until there is nothing slips into the pocket ... state of health ....
So I stayed with them.
While we take turns with her, she quickly got better and is finally out after 10 days. His son
but it came in Hungary and has no other children. She lives alone in a beautiful village in the mountains where most people get their water from wells, have chickens and a garden well maintained.
She could not back yet. We have taken from us about ten days time it gained strength and confidence.
Cohabitation has not been easy every day. They had us do with her habits and she has had to adapt our life a little hectic and very foreign to her. But we learned a lot with her and then once we had found a yard in agreement, it was nice to have a grandmother at home!
Then I went home with her his village to help a little while to restart. I liked the country life, feeding the animals, fetching water from wells, make good soups and other dishes, strolling in the sun, read and write and all that this beautiful setting (I'm showing you as soon as possible with photos).
When I got home, a surprise waiting for me .... the girls had adopted a baby magpie falls in oil machine. Decidedly, we all had receuillons Point Heart ... You can imagine the stuff that makes noise, must be fed and pooped everywhere ... Monette is happily in love birds!
Our dogs seem interested in our new breakfast of course! While
I was in the country, Ilona, the wife of Anton was saying Sunday Mass, a month after his death. The girls were present, then invited to the meal that followed.
I was very disappointed not to have was there.
Monday morning, the phone rings at 9:30, Ilona is waiting for me at home immediately. She receives and serves me a meal of the day, meat, sarmale (feast dish, cabbage stuffed with meat), without forgetting the cake tsuica (traditional plum alcohol) and coffee!!
It touches me deeply, she had a difficult life where she experienced the separation (his family is away), the death of many relatives and disease and yet she is not bitter, however, she possesses a strength and a impressive energy. Right now, she is being changed, renovate and clean the entire house.
is if we just say, very beautiful. That

Good day and happy holidays to those who leave already.

Kate Middleton Married Sister
How are you? Apparently, it's rather hot in France .... We
the rain since we loose more 5 days and it is very sad, except for a Romanian who think their gardens, not like us! Ours looks like that of an abandoned house, but in the middle when you can even find onions, lettuce, roses, daisies, strawberries ....!
Otherwise, our days are filled always has a crazy look and I who would not leave the hospital, we spend many hours!
A little story .... one of our grandmother, who provides clothes and cries if we are not quite covered! (She works Caritas, Catholic Relief our) celebrated his birthday two weeks ago. We arrive home with a cake, but her husband announces that it is in the hospital for a problem in the eyes .... We'll see over there or she shares a room with three other grandmothers. On our arrival, she cried with emotion. Then
says she has nothing to give to nurses. Here, corruption is part of quoitidien and he "must give chocolates, coffee or money to staff and the doctor at risk of not being treated
.... So, we'll collect the nurse who has infusion set and she wants her "reward" and ask him to sing "La mult ani" (Happy Birthday) with us!
And here, therefore, that the nurse was delighted to see new things come sing with us the grandmother, and imagine all the grandmothers of the chamber were made to cry !!!!!
emotion was at its height!
We've stayed a quarter of an hour, but what a visit, the grandmother was delighted and very proud!
Otherwise, for news, we had a visit from our visitor, Sister Isabella, who stayed with us 10 days. It made us much good, nopus allowed to take some distance and clarifies many points.
In my letter to the sponsors, I spoke to Anton. He died two weeks ago, and despite his condition, very serious, he died peacefully in his sleep. We as done here, visiting family and ensure the body in a cemetery chapel. The family had put our bouquet of flowers Obviously we were very touched. His wife also has application in the wills of Anton, sing and pray again near him.
We continue to visit them with pleasure.

Dyslexics Statistics Uk
Hello everybody, I'm
finally time to give you some news about it or Deva now beautiful weather for nearly a month, we can even take our breakfast out!
I hope you had a good Easter.
Here, although we were surrounded and we had a lot of way. We So many benefits.
First, there was the Palm Sunday Mass, magnificent, Willy sings a cappella gospel (he plays the organ and sings at mass on Sunday). It was a beautiful Mass and the church was full (which is not always the case at the Mass in Romanian). Holy Week, even stronger here because the great respect and care they put into the liturgy makes this point more concrete and more beautiful. Church bells and organ are silent and everyone lives intese those days.
Then, Saturday morning at 8:30, my two friends arrived from France, and Isabelle Thibault. They stayed with us until Tuesday morning and they went on an expedition in the mountains Romanian or they encountered some snow but no bears!
The tradition here is to decorate eggs in the dye, painting, etc.. So we went to see how it was with them. Then we went to their present Bejan has few friends and family to show them something of what We concentrate here.
They were greeted with warmth, simplicity and interest that we have many keys. We stayed a while to chat, play games and take pictures.
the evening, it was the Easter Vigil, a three-hour liturgy, has fallen the night, but so long so well prepared and in a church so full that in the end, it was very beautiful.
The next day we left for the day Sebesh has, in the community of fransciscains or we like to spend time and rest (training center for priests and brothers). They had prepared a meal with lamb and typical gargentuesque, ham, mashed potatoes, sarmale (bending machine of cabbages leaves filled with meat and vegetables), a sort of macedonia, dessert ..... finally, all the traditional dishes that are found to holidays.
Then, they were hiding chocolate eggs in the garden to share some of our traditions too, but it did the fun way!
Finally, it was a great time all together, though warm and festive.
Easter Monday, the tradition that boys are we recite poems in suits tell us we are beautiful like flowers .... then we flavor. In exchange, we offer the eggs we decorated. The
after lunch, I visited the citadel of Deva with Thibault and Isabelle, here as elsewhere, it's always when there are guests that are visiting our city's best, not because I don ' struts up until this point, however, the most impressive in town!
I really love to be able to share more concretely my life and my mission here and my little sisters to present community. And it was nice to have a look outside on our business.
So thank you again to you both!
And for one week, we had a home Marica, former Point Heart of Romania came back to these steps. We have seen the evolution of friendships past two years, the differences between his time and ours (yes, yes, yes!: Heating, hot water any time ...., so large avanceees!). Finally it was really interesting and nice to share our experiences.
Then a few days ago, we submitted because the AC was Orthodox Easter a week later. And this time, we wanted to take this opportunity to get into the great Romanian cuisine! So we purchased a lamb and all those bodies, we made a sort of terrine is done for Easter. We also salata of the ox (sort of macedonia) All this we occupy at least deuce days. Even the neighbors came to give us a hand. All that for that end, the Romanian grandmother that we had invited by commenting on everything, tell us what was missing here and there and that his son deamnde us why we were trying to Romanian cuisine! Well, we were still proud of us because for the first time, it was not so bad! This
grandmother, very typical of the campaign, accustomed to a life very simple, completely lost in the city is really crisp. She and many Romanian Orthodox, 300%! And his only son, really the campaign, rather fascinated by books, Catholic priest and became perhaps the worst is that he has learned Hungarian, mastered to perfection and is priest in Hungary.
is this grandmother that we were visiting in the hospital and we have then invited her and now she is concerned it will become to our departure.
Voila, now we are trying to recover many of these festival days and all these visits.
For other small news, Damitz and Manu went to France, to my great sadness. We hope very much that they have lived with us will stay in a small corner of their head ... We should see them back in a few months.
19h instead of 18h
By evening, we try to work our garden that requires much more attention ...
Here are some news which I hope you can find in shape!
I kiss you

Coffee Table Anthropometrics
is that here is an important holiday celebration with dinner and flowers for women because during the time of Communism, all religious festivals have been completely banies (Christmas, Easter ....), the state focused on what was left. So we were pleasantly surprised to see get a friend, Ludovic, and her little nephew, Marcu, with flowers for each!
To celebrate this day, we have 3 small enmenees adjacent to the circus and even if it was a fairly simple circus family and we had all eyes were shining. Small were happy to touch the animals and they have opened the eyes amazed face the balancing act.
Otherwise, we know a good group of small french who enjoy being away from their country to party as often as they can! and Saturday, we were invited for a very nice house warming. In turn, some came dines at home last night with kouin aman, not original in Romania!
Otherwise, everything is always good, my Romanian progresses a bit and I'm doing. When we make visits Monette and I think people are very patient and they never laugh at us.
I'm writing my letter to the sponsors that you should receive soon.
Meanwhile, I kiss you!

Bottomless Women Picd
It's been a while since I've not written ... Is that even on rest days pass quickly! But hey, it's better than being bored is not it?
Friday we did in our small chapel an hour of adoration before the Blessed Sacrament (reeelle presence of Jesus ...). Most of our guests are the grandmothers of the neighborhood. They are pretty funny: impossible to stand in silence for 1 hour edges, they released their beads and mumbling. If it does not assz hot in the chapel, we soon know too! Then we had prepared them a little taste, it's time el the gossip and issues! And then we better be correctly dressed otherwise, is the drama (the other day, Monette was a crying grandmother because she did not put socks in his shoes!). Finally, they are adorable and take care of us as if we were their little girls, with all that that implies: as reprimands cakes!
In our neighborhood, but we were a few children, including Renata Coboltsh. Their parents are separated and it is very complicated. They live with their dad and go to their mother for them is the threat of punishment for the whole family united against her ... Grandparents are our neighbors, the grandmother is ultra presented in the Education of children (girls have love visiting last year because after a stroke, she was allitee. In short, these are children who want for nothing materially but who face very sad and serious for their age. Often, they spend at Point-Coeur or invite us to their homes or at the grandmother. They do not run into our arms like other slum children and yet they seem to be more in need of this attention.
Often Gypsy children seem much happier to live as those who have "everything".
Now I get to the highlight of the week ... today, killing a pig !!!!! Ossi and his mom, Tanti Anouchka (the one we bring each day of the mass) have warned us because they knew we wanted to see this! Unfortunately, I have no photos to share with you all this ... just words quite small!
Deja, no screaming since by simplicity, the pig is killed for electricity! His blood at the carotid is recovered for the black pudding, yum! Then he is clean shaven, grill flame, rinse with water ... At this point, I was given one of his nails, because by putting it in my pocket, I should see when good comes ....! Then he opened the knife, ax and hammer! Then, a small courtyard of anatomy, men come out one by one all the organs, I enjoy it! lol.
The lungs, heart, kidneys, liver .... go gently cook in a has huge pot outside (I better understand and Hansel and Gretel story with all the witches, this huge steaming pot or a child would return would be very scary for little ones ...). The intestines are cleaned and the last layer that surrounds it is recovered (at that time the, as you say j'aetais passionate, and small dedication to my colleagues, it is solid all this when it works well!).
Can men wear the halves of a pig on a table for cutting up the pieces and collect the grease that makes the famous slalina here (which was a little horrified us foreigners, but a must here) No, Indeed, the best is the ear but miraculously, there are escapes!
After, it's time to sort the pieces of the big pot, I tasted a little of everything, heart, kidneys, liver, etc. .... dimmed by events! Then according to the parties, we make preparations with condiments, and it makes the boots, sausages, etc. ..... some of them are smoke. This stage is fun and then now I know how it is done from beginning to end!
Good evening, this is not the party, not accustomed to ingest too much animal fat and Abbate and to contemplate such a spectacle, I sleep with my eyes and the pig lying in my mouth a taste of pig skin (another best-of!), tough!
Recently, two children of Gypsy neighborhood Damitz and Manu have become accustomed to join us at mass. Both live in a big house in the neighborhood and the ahabitude of living between the South of France and Romania.
course, we often offer them to enter the chapel before leaving and they even claim it but their behavior is quite surprising. The first time I saw Damitz (12 years), he took care of his little brother Manuel and his nephew a very maternal way. But after the little angel has transformed into a demon and starts small and frighten me despairing. But since the gypsy children in the neighborhood are fewer and then after several discussions between us about how best to take care of them "Effective" in avoiding the center, it goes much better and I found the moment the little angel ...
The other day when leaving, as was his custom, he left with pockets full of pencils, I grabs, makes him a little moral and can recover almost all our property .. He goes to the chapel or worship girls were then left to his house. Two minutes later, back again 'I forgot something "And he goes out of his pocket two remaining pencils .. And for him, I can tell you is huge. Then you take it as you want but in any case, it was very beautiful!
And voila, Sunday morning, leaving the mass in miles and posing a question Tomash brother: "What are you you?, and your, clothes, what's it for? You have a wife ?...." and finally "And I can become a monk?" In entandant positive response, he opened his eyes wide and looks great Martha and her repeat the question 3 times to be sure. Maybe he will go ever further in all its issues, but already, it was very beautiful to see and we try to best respond to all questions!
Here for some additional news and feel free to criticize or ask questions! Sorry for the mistakes, but I do not have time to read ...
I think well all of you and kiss you hard.

Boobs Show By Neetu Singh
Hello!
As ahabitude, we are arrived many adventures ... and we also have to take the air in other countries.
But first, little news of our neighborhoods.
Remember these gypsy children who were returning to school after many difficulties and delays in school ...
Well finally, the general who is 11 years and had never started the school was accepts and he likes it! Very anxious not to arrive on time, he got up every morning an hour early and arrived at school well before the beginning .... the director saw it offered him an alarm clock and since it Up! It must be said that the time is not a priority for the Gypsy.
Little remains for the moment has finally home because their mother does not let her go alone to school (they live behind the railway lines near the hottest part of Deva.
Speaking AC, I am willing to entrust to your prayers this area very difficult. This is the barn for a few reammenagee Gypsy families but are now too many are crowded into small pieces. But The biggest problem is not material poverty (compared to other neighborhoods). It's a neighborhood where there are prostitution and or televisions can all be lit on the day of pornographic channels. Children's behaviors are very inappropriate and quite frightening. The last time we had to face from a horde of girls agisssant anyhow.
Yet we would do everything to continue vivit this neighborhood.
During this last visit there, I received from Alex (11 years) a course in Romania in exchange for a french class! Her mother is very touching, despite very poor conditions, we always find masked, wearing and ... She always comes his finest and best coffee cups. Our friendship is important for her because she is the only Romanian Gypsies in the middle and then she lives alone with his son (her husband is gone). While there are people who come into his little hut behind the rails is important to her.
One day, we visited with us enmenes Sarolta (pronounced Charolta), the Daughter of Attila. We have been Bejan, hill where many Gypsies live in shacks, but enough spaces. I was wonderfully surprised no homepage that has been reserved. She is Hungarian, but it posed no problem.
We were visiting with Martha, all three; and that day, despite the fact that people do not know, we received many confidences. A mother, trapped with his newborn at home (Gypsy women do not leave for 3 weeks after birth) has opened his heart. Another began to ask lots of questions Sarolta, then tells him his life.
And the other way too, it was beautiful. When a girl asked us for help to fetch water, Sarolta was premeire has the answer yes. No comment from his mouth, even when we entered the tiny house, dark and not very odorous of Elisabeta (Gypsy with a friend I must speak ...!)
Otherwise, yesterday we had another great opportunity! A french, Bruno is a Deva as an engineer for a year we moved to visit his factory! Is is a metallurgical plant that processes steel and other metals to make them more resistant. So we could see the huge ovens and burned, giant washing machines, etc! Assz it was fun and interesting. I'm glad I finally got to visit a factory, my first!
Otherwise, I'm part of Deva one week and it made me much good to cut with the "routine"!
First, we went to Bucharest with Martha or she performs some medical checks. We took advantage to meet a lot of people. We stayed with the Brothers of St John (french or order it from Romania and french).
For me, the summit was among the sisters of Mother Theresa, I think some will understand ...! Their smile is their discretion are really wonderful and I am even more fan since I read that the book on Mother Teresa, I could see that their life was and demanding more and reported to the heroism and surely a very strong faith ...
Otherwise, we visited a young couple in addition to their baby welcomes five teenagers with AIDS ..... AC is also not heroic? It's an Italian layman consecrated (not religious, she offers her life to God and work) that deals finding host families has children. It is also very close to them and supports many of the familles.
After this short visit, we had the right to a delicious Italian risotto at home.
The other evening, we pass from Radu, Romanian also devoted layman of the same movement (Communion and Liberation, Italian movement). He lives with a roommate had invited Italian and Romanian 3. They made us look at the investiture ceremony of Obama!! lol
And among brothers, we have many chats with students (they live for the period of their study). Three daughters and one French Gypsy us poses many questions about our business, and perhaps they will come up Deva ....

If Nose Itchy What It Mean
This winter is harsh it seems, we had to skate along the path to get up here! But it seems that in France, ca is the same!
Well, for the troubles of the week, we spent five days without running water. It all started Wednesday ... Every morning for three days, the water cut off, thinking they s'agisait work, we did not AFOLs. Then on Saturday, more nothing. In fact, the water warms the day but at night the temperatures were too low. We denervation cons services water went quiet weekend, leaving us without water. Then we realized on Sunday that it would be because we had not paid our bills for a long time ...
In the meantime, we would draw water from the well of the neighbor (when he was not frozen ...) and we asked the priest to "find and showers in the building adjoining the presbytery (he greets children after school). I also tested my laundry out in front of the well, in 5 minutes stalactites were forming on clothes ....!
Fortunately, Attila, our angel keeper arrived with his wife Monday morning. He immediately understood the problem. Always available to us (it's a Hungarian family from this point premeirs no-Coeur Deva), they have time to try to restore the situation. We started with a hair dryer on the garden hose and then with boiling water, but nothing was done.
Wednesday morning, it is the water services who arrived with a blowtorch and 15 minutes later, the normal course of events was finally able to resume!
So much for the little story that makes us realize how simple things like running water has now become essential ... I forgot
to tell you that on January 2, according to a priest's confession is all happening in all houses and apartments ... So we had a visit from a Catholic priest accompanies uin choirboy. It is a beautiful tradition is not it?
A cute little story to finish ..
Two days ago, we went to Camin, a block or so poor families crammed into single rooms. There we are in a family of 8 children. They came to recover a little dog and her wool coat! Seeing that it was nice to race, they saw how much the sell ....
leave at home later, we meet a lady panicked vieielle who sought his small black dog on everywhere .... of testimony, we have brought back to the building or it could repcupere his dog breath, the soul of his mother "as she said! At that moment, I think she was the happiest in the world!
She invited us home or there were still 4 other HVAC! And it has not failed to reward the boys of the family who had made his dog.
It is as if there had been deliberately located on the same road ...
So much for today, I na'i more time ...
jelly good week! I think you fort.
special dedication to my colleagues at Necker small!
