  February 2007   Dear Loved Ones,   I recently realized that we often share a story or thought but rarely our daily activities, so we thought we'd take a few moments this month to catch you up on what we've been up to here.   The last part of 2006 found us visiting the…

Noche de Paz, Noche de Amor

February 1, 2007

He is faithful.  (http://www.wordmadeflesh.com/countries/prayer_requests.php?country=Romania)   Today I learned that both Alina (18) and Daniela (15) have chicken pox…
