Greetings from Anenii Noi! Have had another good day here.
We visited another lady this morning who I would say is in her early 60s. She lives in a fairly good house and has gardens of all kinds around her house (here everyone fences in their homes and everything on their property inside one fence.)
When she returned home after having surgery, her daughter had taken over the house and had closed off most of the gardens. She had torn down rare grape vines that her mother made a living off of and gave her mother 1 small room to live in at the back of the house, with no furniture in the room. The woman was very sick and needed care. Igor's church, of which she is a member, furnished and cleaned the room and cared for her until she was over the surgery. I cannot imagine anyone doing that to a stranger, much less your own mother! Her spirits are up and she continues to praise God for her church family. I cut her hair for her and she hugged and kissed me. WE took her a food parcel, of which she was very grateful.
I did several more haircuts today and I am quite tired. Please continue to pray for these people. They need care and yet, when they can, they give of what little they have to help someone else.
This is what Jesus meant about being a servant to the least of these. They may be poor but they have so much love in their hearts. I am blessed to have met them. Praise God!
