Wednesday was the day for Adolf to drive us eastward through beautiful farmland to visit the Covasna Country Red Cross Camp for underprivileged children. Nestled in the foothills of the Carpathian Alps, 100 children run, play, make friends, building their self-esteem as they succeed in many different activities.

When we asked Raul, one of the campers, "How do you like camp?" He replied, "I love it here!" To our question, "And, what about the food?" he replied with big brown eyes glowing, "We have soup and bubbly mineral water, meat, fried potatoes, vegetables! Every meal we get mineral water and soup!"

Our hearts filled with joy as we watched the staff treating the children with respect, kindness and love. All the staff are volunteers who are becoming our friends. Some of them are first time LST Readers now. God is good to bring us together with so many kind-hearted Hungarian Romanians!

Thursday, Andrea, Zoli and little Lila (22 months) had us over for a delicious lunch! More about that later. They have always been a great help to us, but this year, more than ever, they are truly taking care of us in many, many ways. We came to help the people of St. George, but they are the ones who are helping us! This is a beautiful example of "Cast your bread upon the water, and it will not return unto you void." Ecclesiastes 11:1 (I like my version better - "Cast your bread upon the water, and God will return it to you with butter on it!" -- Anne, Dan and Rosemarie
