Tonight we had a "Girl's Night Out" here at our apartment. About 10 girls came over from the church. They washed and fixed hair, put on make-up, and had a lot of laughs. We all enjoyed pizza and salad. It was a memorable time that we will all remember for a long time. Here's part of the group on the stairs after all the primping. Gwen closed with a lesson on Ruth.
Yummy salad & pizza!

Today we went out into the country to a village of about 2,500. We had lunch with some older folk. I think the local pastor said that he goes there once a month to minister to these people. There is no church in this village. You can tell these people have had a very hard life. They fed us a delicious lunch and were gracious host. Bro. James shared a brief message with them and we had prayer. We left them with some Bibles. Here's one of the ladies who cooked for us with one of the Bibles:
The local pastor brought them some more Bibles for outreach. We encouraged them to reach out to those around them. Can you imagine what it would be like to not have a church to attend? They just meet in their home in a very small group.
Some of the locals and our team about to pray.
We had turkey that was very good, a rice mixture wrapped in grape leaves, wonderful cornbread along with other things. Fresh cherries, too!
Local transportation in the village!

Giving the children some gifts. This was a very poor family. The kitchen sink was outside as well as the wood stove. They had two little rooms and the walls were made from old vinyl flooring. The pastor is working with this family.
This little girl has the Barbie doll I gave her.
Proud of her children's Bible. I also gave her a Barbie doll.

Walking up to the area, we came across this little lamb laying in the grass. I was reminded of the story in the Bible about when Abraham went to Mt. Moriah to offer Issac as a sacrifice. And God provided the lamb. We need to remember that God is still providing whatever is needed.
It has been another blessed day here in Moldova. We are so blessed!
