Buna from Romania! Week Three (Entry Two)
Things have been so busy here...this last week was probably our busiest yet...but it was great! We have already had 2 church groups come and go, and they both put on great programs for the kids! We just finished a week doing VBS with children who live in group homes in the mornings, then we would go out to special needs group homes in the afternoon and play with them. We didn't really know what to expect with these children, but we ended up falling in love with them, and had the best time! They are so sweet, and so funny! They entertained us more than we entertained them i think, but they were so welcoming and loving towards us, and we were able to get close with alot of them.
We were able to take about 7 of them to the zoo yesterday morning, and we had a great time. All the interns and I thought the zoo was hilarious! It is a little different than zoos in america. In Romania, they have deer, cows, and horses in their zoos...haha...not too exoctic...but still very fun!
I can't beleive this will be our last week here...the time really has flown by so fast! Our plans have changed again (flexibility is the theme this month...haha) which turned out to be a blessing, because we will get to spend more time with the special needs children, and then we will be going to Zau again!!! We are all SO excited about this, because we spent our whole first week here and got really close with the girls, so we are really glad that our last 2 days in Romania will be spent with them. Those girls are so amazing and they love the Lord, which is SO comforting as we prepare to say goodbye.
We will then drive to Budapest on Friday morning, and fly home Sunday...so crazy! But, God has done some amazing things on this trip, and it has been filled with lots of laughs, some tears,new friendships, and many memories.
Thank you so much for your prayers,
Amy
