Buna from Romania! Week One

Buna!

Yay we are finally here!!! haha...30 hours of traveling is insane! We are having a really good time here so far. Yesterday was our first day working in an orphanage, called Zau. It is an all girls orphanage with girls from 4 years old to 20! So, we are having different programs for the older and younger girls. We have been doing VBS in the morning and play time in the afternoon. The girls are all so precious, and our team was all so surprised how sweet and welcoming they are! We were all getting kisses on the cheek about an hour after we got there! Everyone on the team is doing well, and are laughing a lot...so that is always good!

Today we got to have a picnic outside and enjoy the beautiful mountains here! We had no idea there would be so many mountains, trees, and animals walking around. The orphanage is about an hour away in a small village, so it has been really neat to see a completely different way of life.

We will continue working with the girls until Saturday, when a church team comes and we will start at Ludus next Monday. We are all having a great time getting to know the city and one another, and especially the girls. Personally, I have become friends with a girl named Lucia, and there is nothing better than getting her hugs every time we arrive! Please pray for the rest of this week and that we can form deeper bonds with the girls...they are wonderful, and we are so lucky to be able to spend time with them this week!

Ciao,
Amy
