Letter of April & May, 2008
Dear Friends, I would like to ask each of you to raise Mia in prayer sometime today before you go to bed tonight. At midnight Central time USA it will be about 8:00 in the morning. We don’t know what time her surgery will be, but are concerned for her health. Hopefully we will be able to contact Costel by phone tomorrow night to find out how she is.
Beloved Friends of Mia’s Children ,
Again our letter comes so late to you .I’m so sorry and we ask apologizes to all of you !. But many wonderful things were happening in last two month to our children . We praise God for all the good work , for trials and for special friends , for results and hopes and blessings powdered over us so abundantly!
As most of you know , already , we had here special Friends from USA , Patsy , Ann and Christine ,Jacque , Andy Loveless and Dana Moldovan . They all brought a new breath , much joy and help and we want to thank all of them , as we want to thank to all other friends who supported them and support our mission for so long time .
It was such an amazing time , to can prove and see how God puts together people from different continents to help and encourage the work we do here !So many bridges quilted over the times and oceans to show that it’s still so much fellowship under the sun to help and support , to build the human being , the most of God’s creation !We are deep impressed , moved , grateful for all this special love and precious help , for many Friends , for Brothers and Sister over the distances .
Looking back at the time when God started everything , it’s so incredible to see the greater picture of Mia’s Children . We want to give special thanks to the founders ,Castle family , to Godsey family and to Each of you from churches and from Rotary clubs .Thank You !
Last months we went through hard times for our health . It was like a cross of the roads when we had to find a new house , when Costel was so sick and for myself the doctors discovered a tumor somewhere at my had . In the same time , we had to be part from many projects involving the name and the results we had in the Association with our children .It was like handling between the light and the dark .It was difficult but in every moment we felt the presence of God and many Friends around . We trust with all our faith in God’s will , in His plan for all of us and in You , beloved Friends and we want to thank to Ariadna , to Mihai , to Mike and to all the friends who made possible for us to use this blessed home for one more year ! Thank you to Dana who came at the proper time to encourage and to develop a new move in Romanian Rotary clubs together Mr. Grumbach and Mr. Laurentiu, to bound the American efforts with the Romanian ones .We know about many churches and clubs , about many wonderful people .Excuse if we don’t write your names here , but You are written already in The Special Book of our hearts , of Mia’s Children
We had a nice presentation at Rotary Club ball dedicated to our association , to gathered money to help the project for a home , than we had a nice and high level presentation at UNICEF Gala .Everybody appreciates our good fruits in changing life to our children .All our students have good grades , the teachers appreciate them and recognize we do a great job in our preparation gave to the children .
Monday I’ll have the surgery. The doctors are a little concern for my health , that’s why I want to ask you in a special way to continue to help and to support Mia’s Children , the place where so many children find love and peace , the place where so many life are changed , where the dream become real . it might be a long or a short time since I can be in touch with you , but remember always that I have all the respect , I’M GRATEFUL FOR EACH OF YOU , I THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART AND I’M SO PROUD AND GRATEFUL THAT I MET YOU!I’m so honored to be a small part from such a great thing ,MIA’S CHILDREN !With Your help we developed and proved in a country who was under comunism so long time , too long time , that there is still HOPE and GOD can change and bring a new life , new vision , a better tomorrow and better human beeing !
