The BTH boys spent the holidays away from the house in Nenciulesti. Doro went on a visit to his family so the boys came to Bucuresti. A few of the boys went to visit friends and the rest spent the time at the GTH and the team house. They enjoyed their time with the graduates, the staff, the teams, and of course the girls! They received gifts, brought over by Jim and John Thomas. Thanks so much to those of you who donated for this special time.

The boys along with Costel, Ramona, and Doru prepared a skit for our annual Thanksgiving Feast.  They presented a intellectual, a business man, two pro soccer players and a homeless man all in their search for happiness.  They came across a sign asking them to come to the park the next day at 3.  At the park they all met and spent time comparing how each were unhappy and how each person had more reason then the last to be unhappy.  They were met by two men who claimed they had more reasons then the whole group to be unhappy, but they had found happiness in Christ.  Our prayer is that each of these boys will truely, with their whole hearts understand this lesson before they leave our house.  If this is the only lesson that they learn this year--it will be a successful year!

Morning Wake-up

Our first major project of the year is to put insalation on the outside of the house.  It is a big project, but the boys are good workers and they are learning useful skills as well as accomplishing an important task for H2H.
