Hello everyone! My name is Leah Fricke, and this will be my second trip to Romania with Blackhawk. My first trip to Romania was the year before last, and I absolutely fell in love with the country and the people we met. The trip itself was one of the most challenging things I have ever done, but also one that made me grow in ways that I never expected. Last year I had every desire to be a part of the trip again, but I was unable to go. I was spending my second semester of my junior year in Ireland with my family. Watching the team get ready and leave for Romania, and not being a part of it, really showed me how important this trip is to me. For these reasons, I am thrilled to have the chance to go back this year. I’m so excited for the chance to deepen the friendships I’ve made and, hopefully, see the Lord work in my heart. Thank you so much for following me on this journey!
Hi Leahbean!!
I am so happy that you get to return to Romania!!! I am sure that there is a very good reason that you had a year off in between your trips! God used that year to mature you in ways that will be used and seen this time around! I am very confident that this time around you will see things a different fresh way and be able to use your maturity in good new ways!
I will be praying for you so much while you are gone! I know that God will use that beautiful big heart of yours in huge ways to help love those orphans abundantly!! You are an important part of a rock star team and together you will all be the hands and feet of Jesus in Romania!!
I sure love ya! Be safe and love well!!
