ROMANIA AGAIN

Hello Friends,

My oldest son is off to the skies again. He left yesterday for Romania. He is somewhere over land I hope. There is this vast empty ocean they fly over before they hit land. He will be there sometime today late. When he gives me his flight plan, I'm never sure if that is MY time he lands or his time he lands. This is one of those trips he planned, got the plane reservations, and flying solo. He is confident.

His mission this time:

1. Teach cooking classes to the children at the children's home, Casa Shaloam children's home.
He is armed with notebooks for the children and recipes. He was there this past summer over the July 4th holiday. I know he is looking forward to seeing the directors and the children and even the progress on the building they helped to build. What thrill if it is finished and he could cook in it~ This time it is for a different season and a different purpose.

2. He will purchase a Kitchen Aid while he is there. That would of been tough to take.

3. Plus he will be making long range plans for when our church takes a crew over there in June of '08.

He came and hugged me before church started yesterday and he had on a cool jacket....
he had 'CHEF PAUL GALLINA'.... monogrammed on his jacket. WOW~~
I would like to take credit for some of that...but no.... that is all on his own. The only credit I can take is providing the food when he was little. He was and still is starving when he wakes up and eats first thing. Breakfast is a priority when he wakes up. Maybe the cooking of that spurred something in him to learn more.

Okay~ He promised to email. Will share more later.
