Even though in December we could not really enjoy the winter because of the lack of snow, in January we had everything that the children could have liked: snow, gifts and vacation!

          Even if they played in the snow, building houses, the children also cleaned up the yard full of snow, they did this job with joy, like a play. We had a few cold days when the wagon and horse were among the only “means of transport” that did not disappoint us. They went over the “mountain” of snow and did not get stuck. (1-4)

          In January, because we are not so busy as December, we managed to go out with the children to the skating rink in Piatra Neamt. We went with them twice. It was an indescribable joy for them, for some this was the first time they experienced skating. They had a nice time together when the "most experienced" taught the little ones to skate, they have competed with each other, they improve their course, or ... they just learned to skate. However, all were left with nice memories! (5-12)

          I was also saying something about gifts in the month of January! A group from Switzerland who visited the Pentecostal church in Piatra Neamt offered our children a pack of food. A joy for both, children and us, who needed to refill the room with basic food. (13)

          Our beloved friend Helmut and his German team have also raised a sum of money for children and paid us for a gift. Being very busy in December, we were able to make these gifts only in January, but they were welcome even now, especially as everyone got what they wanted! (14, 15) As a crowning of these presents, only a week later, small girls received a dollhouse from a family in Bacau. Very well, with the dolls from German gift and the dollhouse from Bacau, they are the happiest! (16)

          At the end of the month, we were able to arrange the place for the generator received last month. Now it's coming into operation! (17)

          Now, at the beginning of the year, we can only wish for God to accompany you every step of the way and carry you on everywhere wherever you go!

          God bless you!
