7th-9th of November 2008 ...those days gave birth to wonderful memories for the mothers we assist and their children. We spent some beautiful moments together at the lodge in Rusesti. For several mothers the lodge was already a familiar place, where they loved to come back.

A nice accommodation as well as great weather were a sort of a "bonus". Each day started with a time for studying, acquiring new information and sharing personal opinions. The following topics were discussed : success, significance, security, peace, contentedness, fulfillment, happiness, high spirits. Our thinking affects the way we act and feel, hence our decision to talk about these concepts.

This trip was no exception of the rule : having fun and good time. We played outdoor, some of the mothers dared to get their hair done and adopt a different look than their usual, proving they have the courage to make changes. We laughed together, we played new games, we got to know each other better, the mothers shared their burdens and strengthened their relationships.

During all those happy days we haven't forgotten God, we've thanked Him in our hearts for His kindness towards us. Some of the mothers have said it out loud, others just whispering at praying time before lunch or dinner. Before going to sleep, we have had a worship time. We discussed about God and each mother who wanted to share something in this matter had the chance to do it during those moments.
