Grandma Chubby's Stuff

I hope you enjoy my postings. My husband and I are serving a mission in Romania and have had some wonderful adventures. Each of us have experiences in our life that make us different from that time forth. These experiences have done that for us.

Flooding in Romania

This past week has been busy and very tiring. Our Humanitarian couples, the Johnstons, have organized a service project for us to help people who have lost everything they own in the recent flooding of the Danube River in Romania. As we traveled through the south of the country we saw much devastation. This sweet, but sad little lady showed us her home. It has about 5 feet of water in it and the roof is collasping down into the home. The river is 10 kilometers out of its bed and now looks like a huge lake. The half of the village not affected fear the waters coming over the top of these sand bags to reach and destroy their homes too. Half the people are now living in tents on the hillside and getting food and water is a major concern. Posted by Picasa
