I made 51 totebags with various designs on them and filled them with teacher supplies like paper, chalk, erasers, rulers, pencils, markers, scissors, etc. The teachers here have to furnish all their own supplies at their own expense and they make so little money that they will be very blessed to get these supplies.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQU_xS3rBhDRDMQf-XO8DKum3_RECDSeRyfQUmlyWuMzsmX9zJ02hCTmJhqCW0IQ0TMughoJ9ZVm_oF61UjaVpoI5PKmPYwPVplAGMrEeW2pMoJhKQhHW-1KA8Inm7g6dmL5Bpqwt5wxE/s1600/Rusestii+Noi+bags+%2526+Hripseme+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5635920096965597842" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQU_xS3rBhDRDMQf-XO8DKum3_RECDSeRyfQUmlyWuMzsmX9zJ02hCTmJhqCW0IQ0TMughoJ9ZVm_oF61UjaVpoI5PKmPYwPVplAGMrEeW2pMoJhKQhHW-1KA8Inm7g6dmL5Bpqwt5wxE/s400/Rusestii+Noi+bags+%2526+Hripseme+001.jpg" /></a>Once again my sewing machine went on a funk just as I was finishing up the embroidery. And once again Hripseme came through as my hero and finished up the bags. She did a terrific job. She has a little business in her home and this job helped her to afford to go home to Armenia to see her mother. <br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div><br /></div>Tom and Toni VanWormerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317511612980584371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765909361193362633.post-84582506678310218072011-07-24T16:49:00.005-04:002011-08-01T12:00:37.589-04:00The July 5 Flood Food Delivery<div align="center">We were able to provide lots of food for the 68 people still living in the temporary housing. We also gave them some great clothing and shoes and boots that was donated to us. After that we visited with Polina who we had given a wheelchair. The mother of the man we gave medicine to two weeks ago got overwhelmed with gratitude and cried as she hugged us.<br /><br />All 68 people should be moved into their new homes by the end of July. We hope to provide them with beds and bedding once they are in their homes.<br /><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7aGUnubhETqpxXUR1L0F6aPCdCaVe_loE5WRzwVSkoIrMPTK35iRjRW-tZQVRN8sncMjDy43LN0S_Fi1pSdwk7G90iRfY8ysCtoWMWay3cBFspTr00Qoy2-8a1MPnFKVsepxZ_MkTbVE/s1600/Flood+food%252C+cloths%252Cwheelchair+July+5+015.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633025433099563330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7aGUnubhETqpxXUR1L0F6aPCdCaVe_loE5WRzwVSkoIrMPTK35iRjRW-tZQVRN8sncMjDy43LN0S_Fi1pSdwk7G90iRfY8ysCtoWMWay3cBFspTr00Qoy2-8a1MPnFKVsepxZ_MkTbVE/s400/Flood+food%252C+cloths%252Cwheelchair+July+5+015.jpg" /> <br /><p align="center"></a>Sister Kitchen and the Elders helping to measure out the fresh produce.</p><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSX9aWooAelPYsdcTmY9K3hE6Hbv0uNZIoKCJJf5asZfLVnEFu5oRb7Dv5gYMQeL60Lc0KH4dQK9Z_gpWvtgW_pSFBHJtFAbwBTnOmvyBaBCjjzGOwdjckSQpPlZSdOD1NDeSLuS0zWI8/s1600/Flood+food%252C+cloths%252Cwheelchair+July+5+008.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5633025428848974722" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSX9aWooAelPYsdcTmY9K3hE6Hbv0uNZIoKCJJf5asZfLVnEFu5oRb7Dv5gYMQeL60Lc0KH4dQK9Z_gpWvtgW_pSFBHJtFAbwBTnOmvyBaBCjjzGOwdjckSQpPlZSdOD1NDeSLuS0zWI8/s400/Flood+food%252C+cloths%252Cwheelchair+July+5+008.jpg" /></a> Dora, in the red shirt, is our main contact in the building.

We rushed her to the hospital in Chisinau and she got a fantastic doctor that quickly diagnosed it and treated it. Sister Frasier was freaking out pretty bad and ended up staying in the hospital overnight with Sister Humphries. The drugs helped, the stone passed, and they are both back out teaching the gospel. We took a pancake breakfast in to them at the hospital.

Wonderful people that we instantly loved and trusted. Curt & Susan (members of the church) are Peace Corp volunteers that brought this project to us. The only village medical center is on the 2nd floor with a farmacie on the first floor. There are only 2 nurses, Olga & Maria, who work all hours day and night to help the people. There were 5 nurses but they lost 3 due to the stress of the long hours and overwhelming needs of the people. There is 1 doctor who comes to the center 2 times a week but he is about to retire. The nurses are wanting to have running water for sanitary reasons and also to make the center more attractive to a new doctor so they will choose to work there.<br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK8hgP4jwYF70EgEydLAJuTagP94V5XqeYLDlRWB8nZDEOhHQPWYq90CEHVEFyzetrRZ14m4p41qeSSNS0toDAGdGFJ-5v1uu3_VStAHc2zUx29z41p9CRcWCGnpMxF_YsQ-Rp_lcyzQA/s1600/Balenesti+medical+center+water+002.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 300px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 400px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624475572743961698" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK8hgP4jwYF70EgEydLAJuTagP94V5XqeYLDlRWB8nZDEOhHQPWYq90CEHVEFyzetrRZ14m4p41qeSSNS0toDAGdGFJ-5v1uu3_VStAHc2zUx29z41p9CRcWCGnpMxF_YsQ-Rp_lcyzQA/s400/Balenesti+medical+center+water+002.jpg" /> <br /><p align="center"></a>Olga is showing us how they pour well water from a bucket into the water container here and then pump the lever on the bottom to get water to wash their hands.

They were super excellent; very patient, non controlling, and forward thinkers. We love them and miss them already. Hopefully we can visit them in Utah when we go on our western trip next year. They are in the same ward as Dave and Betty Armstrong so it will be great to visit both family friends. Good luck to you Coltons.

I just completed the 3 crown bridge today and it fits perfect! No pain and I can't even tell it isn't my natural teeth. The best part is the entire process only cost $503 and that included the tooth removal, the preparation of two teeth, the custom bridge and it's installation. Dr Gheorgie Paiu made the bridge himself in the next room over and kept adjusting it while I was in the chair until fit perfectly.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkvxRL8dvuypRIK43swLeFczz25QuXJ4vX-ao-Aj2gILzeMUfoGDptwnofJCuyyTe3doAc_W0YtdTZHY9CPamp3T-28Dqq2i4fpjLXQdKt9B-z82HxnH7I8mSuKb4HwKkfO_kI64Uzx7c/s1600/Dentist-bridge+is+perfect%2521+002.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624489036025439314" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkvxRL8dvuypRIK43swLeFczz25QuXJ4vX-ao-Aj2gILzeMUfoGDptwnofJCuyyTe3doAc_W0YtdTZHY9CPamp3T-28Dqq2i4fpjLXQdKt9B-z82HxnH7I8mSuKb4HwKkfO_kI64Uzx7c/s400/Dentist-bridge+is+perfect%2521+002.jpg" /></a><br />We were told to have dental exams and make sure that our teeth were in good shape so no dental work would be needed while on our mission. We did that. Amazing though, is that in the last year and half Tom had to have a crown put in ($155), I had a wisdom tooth pulled ($32) because it shifted into an unworkable position, another tooth pulled ($32), a temporary tooth put in while it healed ($50),teeth whitening ($31.58), and then this triple bridge crown ($503). Would have been many many times that cost at home. We would be willing to fly to Moldova for dental work because it is soooo good and soooo inexpensive and we could visit our friends here!<br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGk4oEyGJf4xsj5OswGl6jxXmOpvN6hq9qCuQ6KFnw5swk6bGYLZmcu1PeqJiU_e5q_jXoAqLXkWJqHdr7FZ4N-2JrwYLL091TnGVitAuBhLAQPRp1vYx5dYrs0bCLJnly8XT8PG_2XLE/s1600/Dentist-bridge+is+perfect%2521+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624489030463955026" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGk4oEyGJf4xsj5OswGl6jxXmOpvN6hq9qCuQ6KFnw5swk6bGYLZmcu1PeqJiU_e5q_jXoAqLXkWJqHdr7FZ4N-2JrwYLL091TnGVitAuBhLAQPRp1vYx5dYrs0bCLJnly8XT8PG_2XLE/s400/Dentist-bridge+is+perfect%2521+001.jpg" /></a> </p>Tom and Toni VanWormerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317511612980584371noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765909361193362633.post-89969496523499905442011-06-27T17:24:00.000-04:002011-07-01T17:44:58.704-04:00The Orhei Soup Kitchen Project Closed<div align="center">Orhei's soup kitchen got custom built cabinets.</div><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWa18en6sJ0zX2FwIfJv0mM0u8PrYaT8YjkxWW0M-lJW1v0-Nj9BSIgSae1fy9zd1ZUiDOQHMe0gsKMv3GHgvvLnDYFAuydS45HvNab9sQ8k_uPvBrtf6EFuo6mR3fziPGB0aNhMRpuJg/s1600/Orhei+soup+kitchen+closing+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5624498968509421330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWa18en6sJ0zX2FwIfJv0mM0u8PrYaT8YjkxWW0M-lJW1v0-Nj9BSIgSae1fy9zd1ZUiDOQHMe0gsKMv3GHgvvLnDYFAuydS45HvNab9sQ8k_uPvBrtf6EFuo6mR3fziPGB0aNhMRpuJg/s400/Orhei+soup+kitchen+closing+001.jpg" /></a> They requested one of the cabinets to have wire shelves so they could put their loaves of bread inside.

I took half of the Baby g diapers to the womens shelter in Drochia where they treat and train women who have been victims of human trafficing and domestic violence. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpH8DpUtUnDe7so9XiG-vz1IhKVTlHtEXzTqKGneLgA-Yi-IWZ5z0vE1C9X40qh0rDYv7IdEglnjJdc-5CX27eY3ChjaV90Yym5m8nwdtqcPSDjw45nlh5MW1_6sRIUk8At60Rt9CmVNQf/s1600/Dr+Sirbu%2527s+center+entrance.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622109072295487746" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpH8DpUtUnDe7so9XiG-vz1IhKVTlHtEXzTqKGneLgA-Yi-IWZ5z0vE1C9X40qh0rDYv7IdEglnjJdc-5CX27eY3ChjaV90Yym5m8nwdtqcPSDjw45nlh5MW1_6sRIUk8At60Rt9CmVNQf/s400/Dr+Sirbu%2527s+center+entrance.jpg" /></a> Since they were not used to using them we had to demonstrate how to put a diaper on. </div><br /><div align="center"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUAQxL8gXxCkJLHK4n_V0HQLE0Ww1ulqFqP0piXLwNMCjhEWxHReKuBF2PYOmzPOUJAp1PyZ0JAbV8OetpsD5_1HRkqeWqII0c2Lm1_pHxXKoTDfpcVdRLef61RiQG2OPuXV8xjbcMh2gN/s1600/Diapers+donated+to+womens+shelter+June+2011+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622108798104821330" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUAQxL8gXxCkJLHK4n_V0HQLE0Ww1ulqFqP0piXLwNMCjhEWxHReKuBF2PYOmzPOUJAp1PyZ0JAbV8OetpsD5_1HRkqeWqII0c2Lm1_pHxXKoTDfpcVdRLef61RiQG2OPuXV8xjbcMh2gN/s400/Diapers+donated+to+womens+shelter+June+2011+001.jpg" /></a> <br /><div align="center">Baby Marin is 3 months old.

The winner of the design was a young boy. He recieved a $100 and framed copy of his design and his name is embroidered onto the flag. I made the flag. During the embroidering of the village name my sewing machine embroidery attachment malfunctioned so I asked Hripsime and her son Senik to help me finish with their embroidery machine. They were fantastic and we got it finished 2 days before the ceremony! Thanks Hripsime and Senik-I couldn't have done it without you!! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit2TJA1MvwKgyoZNCuXx6cKdHyaaK-Wxz6K5ycem7gjCXkPNzDF4lDARxIRoei3AnsOPIxxN2PKe4iDsQMlwm8Ss_U4BgbIKHS54Y0jN07dlWt-_vejOfo_c2BXELY10COP4RaUe6mjC9s/s1600/Zgurita+flag+help+from+Hripsime+%2526+Senik+001.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622098551908868930" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit2TJA1MvwKgyoZNCuXx6cKdHyaaK-Wxz6K5ycem7gjCXkPNzDF4lDARxIRoei3AnsOPIxxN2PKe4iDsQMlwm8Ss_U4BgbIKHS54Y0jN07dlWt-_vejOfo_c2BXELY10COP4RaUe6mjC9s/s400/Zgurita+flag+help+from+Hripsime+%2526+Senik+001.jpg" /></a> The village is known for its fishing and apple orchards.

Something about going too fast most of the time. We get pulled over all the time which we understand is very commonplace here. Dr Lewis and his wife, Kathryn were in the car when this pullover happend and took a photo before we could tell her that we are not supposed to photograph the police. ooops. He looks like a friendly chap doesn't he? Only cost us 300 lei "fee".</div><br /><div align="center"><br /></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxrtunwu_0p60lKWFel5yLWxNJCHObACD60OZI4TXN6WVQIEq3zjTGbksam0PJ3g_rpR8uqwDqA5U-SovlHLn1z-N4N4eyCbpkwUYELRdG6xYXWJyymwHEaKzcZSpWlYRYuMMrsu6WlJA/s1600/Police.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622495703663786290" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjxrtunwu_0p60lKWFel5yLWxNJCHObACD60OZI4TXN6WVQIEq3zjTGbksam0PJ3g_rpR8uqwDqA5U-SovlHLn1z-N4N4eyCbpkwUYELRdG6xYXWJyymwHEaKzcZSpWlYRYuMMrsu6WlJA/s400/Police.JPG" /> <br /><p align="center"></a>Then when the mission President's wife, Laurie Lundburg was in the car with us we had another social meeting with a policeman. Only cost 250 lei this time. It was interesting to hear all the things Sister Lundburg says to the police in Romania when she gets pulled over. She tells them she is a missionary and shows them her name tag. She tells them that she has a wonderful message to share with them about Jesus Christ and if they will give her their phone number she will pass it along to the young Elders who speak Romanian much better than her and they will share the message with them. Usually they are dumbfounded that someone they want to give a ticket to wants to share the gospel with them. One officer did give her his phone number. </p><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu9Ym4fLSNFH3etTCOlx5KQ5tTTjQ9Gg4LhOw8vDolEmM1ZFoXoUQ2VrmgiXutSXKr_yurg6-WZ6GxMy7QU6aIe3uE6IWztZJMRq5Y_XDW0K1UdA8IlVubM9BJtOKckskKMr6PwmGG1B4/s1600/police+2.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622495698058487538" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu9Ym4fLSNFH3etTCOlx5KQ5tTTjQ9Gg4LhOw8vDolEmM1ZFoXoUQ2VrmgiXutSXKr_yurg6-WZ6GxMy7QU6aIe3uE6IWztZJMRq5Y_XDW0K1UdA8IlVubM9BJtOKckskKMr6PwmGG1B4/s400/police+2.JPG" /></a> Another time Sister Lundburg explained to them she was sorry and wouldn't turn left at that location ever again and asked them if they would forgive her. She explained the principal of forgiveness. They did. One time I was pulled over and they tried to tell me in Romanian and by showing me his extravagent radar video machine that I was going 64 mph. I understood and said "OK???" He said "neit neit" the limit was 50 mph. He had to hand sign the 50 on his window. I replied with confidence that "niet, neit, the speed limit was 70 mph in that area" We went back and forth 50-70-50-70 and finally he waved me on to get out of there because he was tired of arguing with me. And this time it didn't cost me ANY "fee"!!<br /></div>Tom and Toni VanWormerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02317511612980584371noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6765909361193362633.post-28629705254253313092011-06-19T17:45:00.001-04:002011-06-22T17:52:46.229-04:00Elder Jenzsch Transferred to UkraineOne of the finest and best. Elder Jenzsch has been the group leader over the Balti group and wept as he said goodbye to the wonderful saints in Balti. We spoke in sacrament meeting and Tom did a great job teaching the Sunday school lesson on the real reason why we do geneology. After church we went to the Elders apartment and did inspections and had lunch. A great group and we will miss Elder Jenzsch very much.

The notes were stuck onto the balloon that was attached to their childs chair. Then the children led all of us outside and they sent their parents wishes up to Heavenly Father.

For the longest time Sergiu would not accept the gospel so she left Chisnau for summer college break and went back to Orhei. Meanwhile Sergiu still came to church. One day Elder Kitchen was talking with Sergiu about the Book of Mormon and Sergiu told him he only believed in the Bible and that the Book of Mormon was a "book of tales". Elder Kitchen got quite upset at that asked if he had read the Book of Mormon and he said he had only read a few pages of it. Elder Kitchen bore testimony of the book and told him that he had not read enough of the book to know that it definately was not tales. He told him he should read it and pray about it to know that it was true or not. Sergiu could see how upset Elder Kitchen was about it and so he decided to read it and pray about it. He did read it and he did pray about it. He says that he got an indeniable answer that it was true. So he met with the missionaries and soon had his baptism scheduled. Elder and Sister Kitchen both spoke at his baptism and they did it in Romanian. (wow!)<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUoHWhbxmwhQ4pT-Iz91YKRKqi3oRTuhgpzN68hqQS0HuGpZTfCI3wDWNu_rxakUBTUgrTla9fJFwnAGQmslP4WovXSS4iBKtvV3wh-LcPe7iqd6Dk_yeTXdQI3T7qKw2c5KvFl8WQeU/s1600/Sergieu+baptism+with+Tatiana+004.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 300px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5622145007273981618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWUoHWhbxmwhQ4pT-Iz91YKRKqi3oRTuhgpzN68hqQS0HuGpZTfCI3wDWNu_rxakUBTUgrTla9fJFwnAGQmslP4WovXSS4iBKtvV3wh-LcPe7iqd6Dk_yeTXdQI3T7qKw2c5KvFl8WQeU/s400/Sergieu+baptism+with+Tatiana+004.jpg" /></a> Elder Ur baptised Sergiu.
