Summer Wrap Up

After finishing our trip to the orphanages in the south we joined a new team to work in the orphanages around Bucharest. We spent time each day with the children who weren't at the camp at the Girls Transition House. We also went to the newer orphanage several times to try to build up relationships there since we are hoping to work there in the fall.

The boys missed climbing all over me so they made sure to make up for lost time.

We got lots of hugs and kisses.

Handing out balloons at the new orphanage was really crazy, I started running and the crowd chased me until I handed out all of them. It was great to come to this place several times because we are starting to get to know the kids there. They are very precious as this is where the youngest kids are. They love it when we come and are always very excited. Rebecca already has a special friend who begged her not to leave. We enjoyed coloring, making crafts, playing games, and giving piggy back rides to the kids.

We also got to play at the pool parties for the kids at camp. Laurentiu was really excited to be there and was really fun all day.

I also had the chance to go to the baby hospital again which was so fun. We both love working with the babies so much. Mihaiela, Florica, and Ana Maria have all been at the hospital since we started there and it has been great watching them develop.

This has been a great summer and it is hard to believe that it is over already. God has been so faithful and we feel like He was leading all of us the whole time. We prayed for open hearts and for decisions to follow Christ and many kids asked Jesus into their lives. We got to plant and water seeds but it was so exciting to be able to take part in the harvest as well. All of us are so thankful that God answered our prayers and it was a fruitful time. Thank you all so much for your prayers, we know that prayer played a huge part in everything.
