Many of you have seen photos on facebook of our friends in Moldova, and you may recognize this young man that we wanted to share good news about with you. His name is Daniel, and he is Pastor Sasha and Sora Ala's oldest son. We have always known that he was very talented in art. In fact, he gave us one of his paintings when we left Moldova in 2007, and we had many comments on his painting when people saw it. Last year, Daniel and his parents invited us to attend an art exhibit at the library near his home. We gladly accepted the invitation, but we did not realize, until after we arrived, that he was being given a first-place award for his paintings among his peers. We were thrilled to be a part of this special day in his life. We know that you will enjoy viewing his paintings as much as we did! Please pray for Daniel as he grows in his faith in the Lord and as He looks to God for direction in his life. Pray also, for his parents as they help to make decisions for his life. There are four beautiful boys in their family, and they have a sweet spirit and a great love for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
Smile, God loves you!
