Fred and Rodna Hinson are from Houston TX, have 5 grown children and 10 grandchildren. Fred was the NASA Space Mission Control Director. They are the most awesome people to be mentored under. They are doing so much to make sure we are up to speed to carry on the projects they have started. We will be moving into their furnished and stocked apt in Chisinau(key-shee-now), the capitol of Moldova. We had our first skype conversation with them January 23rd that lasted about 2 hours. I thought WE were "work horses" but we can only hope to accomplish even a portion of what they have done over the last 18 months. They have a wonderful blog full of slideshows of some of their projects that will make you cry to see what the Moldovan people are in need of. Their blog link is in our blog side bar. Take a look and be amazed at Heavenly Fathers blessings to the people through the Hinsons labors. I love them so much already.
We have been called to serve in the Romania Bucharest Mission for 23 months. Our primary assignment will be to labor with Humanitarian/Welfare Services as the Country Directors. We will be working in Moldova, a small country next to Romania. We are to report to the Missionary Training Center at Provo, Utah on Monday April 26,2010. We will fly to Chisinau (kee-she-now),the capitol of Moldova, on May 7, 2010. Jesus Christ taught us to love one another. We will try to be excellent disciples of Christ as we love and serve the people of Moldova. We are VERY excited about our assignment, and ready for the adventure of our lives!
