Ouch!



My foot really hurts. Something happened at church today. I can't pin point when it happened but I'm thinking that when I was jumping or dancing during worship that I must have done something to it. Anyway I am now limping around everywhere...ay yai yai!
Hours before I leave on a super long journey to get to the States I can barely walk.
Nice one Kelsey. I asked God to heal it and He hasn't yet. So for now I have my foot on a block of ice.

I'm so thankful to be able to head back to Pottstown and then on to my brother's wedding. It tears me to pieces inside that Caleb, yet again, cannot come with me.
Every time I go I swear it's the last time I'll have to leave him here but I never seem to be able to make it work otherwise. Good friends of mine will be filling in for me while I'm gone this time.
Please pray for his little heart that he won't be too angry that Mom is gone again. Now that he understands more I know it's difficult on him that I'm going to see Grandpa, Grandma and all of the aunts and uncles without him. He loves them so much and doesn't understand why "Romania said no."

I snapped this picture at the market this past week when we were watching our friend's son, Adi. We bought a bunch of fruits and veggies for Casa Alba with money left by the team from England! And, just to explain the other picture. What you are looking at is celery root.
Connected to that is immature celery stalks. They use celery root here all the time but not the celery stalks. So when you go to the market you can find celery root all over the place with very not good tasting celery stalks attached to them. I would love it if one of the vendors would be willing to let the stalks grow and bring them in for me to buy...hmmmm, now that's an idea!
