Radio Maria and Blueprints

Last night, I was on Radio Maria, a worldwide Catholic radio station, talking about my time in Romania and what the plans are for the new orphanage. It was such a blessing to have met Mark Newman, the host of the radio show, this past summer at Franciscan. I was first on his show right before I left for Romania. He has been a huge support of my mission work and I wouldn't have been able to do it without him. Here is the link.

So, I'm excited to be able to share this with you. These are the blueprints for the orphanage. Fr. Remus and I met with the architect just before I came home to get an idea of what the new orphanage is going to be like. This is a building plan designed based off a house that the architect designed not too long before we met with her. This isn't the final design, but it will be similar. So, here you go :) Click on the photos to enlarge them.

We are still deciding on what to call it. We are trying to decide on whether to name it after St. John Bosco or the Blessed Mother. I prayed a novena to Our Lady promising that if she helped us, we'd name it after her. So, It's between John Bosco or Our Lady, the Immaculate Conception. We will see.

Talking about this new project makes me so ridiculously excited for what God has in store for the future of my mission in Romania. It's definitely not going to be easy, but I know that this is what He wants for the children. I'm humbled everyday that God called me to Romania and placed this project in my hands. It means that He trusts me with the care of his precious children.
