April 1 is the day of the fools in Romania, and most people make fun of each other, so… there are many unexpected things to happen, but the most unexpected thing that happened, and that surprised all the Romanians, was 24 hours of abundant snow.

          This happened exactly in the middle of spring, when the trees were blooming and the flowers in the garden were spreading their fragrance for some time. It was a very strange phenomenon to see both snow and flowers at the same time. We hoped that apples, plums, cherries, sour cherries would not have been affected, because it would be a real loss for us. Hundreds of trees broke in our area because of the weight of snow and unfortunately this also happened in our orchard. (1,2)

          But the glory of the Lord as snow was only for three days, then very quickly melted because of the great heat that followed. This way we could continue working in the garden without too much delay. (3)

          In mid-April, on the 16th, we celebrated Easter. This date was preceded by much training of all kinds (4 - 15), but then children  had two weeks of vacation, while they relaxed.

          We would like to thank with this opportunity to our friend Kathy Joy in England who sent us slippers for the children, along with a few other things and to our friends in Germany, who brought us pieces of furniture with which we can arrange the newly built rooms. God bless you all those who care for the children of Casa Ray! (16)

          Christ has risen!
