My journey began in the south in Bucharest with my step-niece, missionary Becky Pertzborn, then quickly onto Rasa-Calarasi. I spent two weeks with missionaries, Reinhard and Darcey Neufeld (and crew) at Gateway to Hope at the Rasa Family Center.

On Oct 31 I began my journey north to Suceava, visiting with friends and family members.  It was a blessing to reconnect with so many of you. Thank you for all your kind hospitality! My final evening there was at Coffee Shalom where I was able to share enouragement from God’s Word with some beautiful ladies — and reconnect with ladies I hadn’t seen in 17 years!

I was able to also include a short trip to Rasnov in Transylvania, to visit Jerry & Chrissie Baker at Torchbearer’s International and see their lovely spot.  Got to visit the Bran Castle as well — I love history.  My last morning there was spent with our children’s cousins, Denesia and Simona (and family), and what a treat it was to see these beautiful young women again — all grown up!

I’m thankful for your prayers and God’s faithful hand upon me in every way.  I have a travel log posted, to view please go to Global Missions Tab.
