Since the last post many different things have happened. Some good, some not so good. But in the end, all things have turned out good and we know that is because God is in control.
On Thursday Mark's glasses broke in half, the nose piece broke right in the middle. The good thing is that the optical places here are fast (1 day) and cheaper than America! On Friday we had our last language lesson, our six months are up! Doamna is pleased with our grammar and we just need to practice more and continue to learn more words, etc. For our last lesson we went downtown and had a historical tour, showing the influence of different cultures on the architecture and seeing what is left of the once very beautiful city (most of it was destroyed during communism). If you click on the pictures they will open in a new window and will be bigger- to see the details better. The following two pictures show French influence.
This orthodox church shows Greek influence.
Here we are with "the doamna" :)
On Saturday we went to the orphanage to hang out and play with the kids. Below is Ana, isn't she sweet? So sweet that Mark would chase after the little boy who stole her ball, even jump over a little fence, up the bleachers, back down, and then to that little fence again, didn't quite clear it the second time....
And these would be the x-rays on his elbow.
After we finally saw the appropriate doctor (another story there) we found out that it is not broken, just is stiff because the blood clots and fibers can form, which cause the lack of mobility. Mark has not been in much pain, practically none right now, but can not fully extend his arm. So Mark got a sling and has to do arm stretching exercises 2-3 times a day and come back to the doctor in 2 weeks to make sure it is healing correctly.
And a picture of me, just because :) This weekend we are going to the girls transition house. It should be a good time celebrating Easter with them, and maybe we will get our hair cut too! (two of them are attending school so they can work in a salon)

Congrats on finishing language lessons! Sorry to hear about Mark's elbow, but at least he had good intentions when it got hurt! :)
Loved this post - thanks - and thanks for the picture of the church (you know I love this ;)) and Thanking God that Mark's elbow is not broken, so so thankful!
Wishing you a very good and Holy Pascha (Easter) this weekend. Will be praying for you in church here often!
