Little blessings from God show up all the time if we open our eyes and notice them everyday. In Romania my little blessing was the family we lived with. By this time I had been away from my family for almost 9 months so it was so refreshing to be with a host that was just like family. While every host and contact brings different excitement, joys, and memories the Curescu family brought all of that and more. They simply brought the love and comfort of having a true family when I haven’t been around mine in so long.
Everything was a family event. From moving sand and wood, to squeezing around a small table for meals, to having a family reunion and celebrating birthdays. Their 3 kids became like brothers and sisters or nieces and nephews. We were teaching them English and they were teaching us Romanian. We joked, snuggled, laughed, and did ministry with their kids, Elias, Ethan, and Haddie. We cheered the boys on while they played piano at church and at a wedding.
Ovi and his family were the closest thing to living with a family since coming on the race. Send some prayers up for his family and his ministry. Also, check out this video I made of our team and his family doing ministry together!
