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!
