Buna from Romania! Week Two

Hello!!!

Wow...I can't believe we have been here almost 2 weeks....it is crazy! We had an AMAZING week at Zau girls orphanage and it was very very hard for us to leave...alot of us were in tears and we became so close with so many of the girls...the week was a neat experience for all of us to start out with...some of the girls were surprised at how close they got with the girls and how real their bonds became...the Lord really blessed us with memories of these girls that we will never forget.

Since then, the team from FBC Euless has been here and they are SO GREAT! We all got along instantly and they have been a huge help and blessing for us this week....it has been great working together and learning so much from them as well. Their leader, Dave has also been extremely supportive and has been very comforting and encouraging to our team of interns this week also. We have had many laughs and good times so far, and we'll be really sad to see them leave on friday.

We just got done with our group devotionals/reflection time tonight and it is so neat to see how we have only known these people for a short time, but I feel like i could talk to them about anything. I think that because of this, the week has gone very well and we have been able to be more confident as a team because we have so many people working together and supporting one another.

But, the kids have been great, we have been working at a day center in the morning, and Ludus orphanage in the afternoon, and today was our second day, and went alot better than yesterday, because we are getting to know the kids better and they are opening up alot more. We were a little worried about how Ludus would go, but God really is working there and things have gone alot better than we expected...which is usually the case! We are just praying for continued trust and that we would have complete faith and not let satan intimidate us in any way.

It is really hard to sum up a week, because SO much happens here everyday! Some other girls will be posting in the next few days to give more insight to what is going on, so hopefully you will get a better picture of what we are doing everyday....but whoever is reading this...your prayers are much needed for the children of Romania! Have a wonderful day!

Love,
Amy
