Buna from Romania! Week Three

Last week, Jamie and Hannah both recuperated very quickly, so they were able to go to Leaganul (the baby orphanage) on Thursday and Friday. Some of the babies and toddlers there are quite healthy, and we were able to play with them and take them on walks - so much fun!

This week began a more straining schedule for us - traveling over an hour to and from the orphanages, working with two different groups a day. We were so excited about this new schedule though, because we had been feeling like we could be doing more with our time. Our focus this week (and for the rest of the trip) will be on teenage girls, leading discussions on various aspects of temptation. It requires much more preparation time than planning Bible stories, crafts, songs, and games, but I am so excited about it! Discussing this topic with them opens up a lot of other doors to share the roots of our faith. We also realize that there are a lot of temptations that these girls face every day in orphanage life, that they may not know how to handle.

Our fourth member of the team, Kelsey, will be joining us on Thursday night. We are so excited about meeting her! I'm sure that she will add a lot to our team and our ministry.

Please keep praying for the Holy Spirit to guide us in everything we do - it is then that the love Christ has for these girls can be truly reflected in us.

So much more to say, so little internet time to say it! :)

In Doamne's hand,
