During the week we work with kids from the orphanages in Rosiori, a town around two hours south-west of Bucharest. We travel to and stay in Bucharest on the weekends with another missionary couple there. Because of that we don't usually get to see the kids at the orphanages around Bucharest. Once in a while though, a team comes and we go to see these kids for a Saturday play day.
We are always greeted with lots of hugs and kisses and questions about why we don't come more often. The bonds that we have with these kids still run deep.
We sometimes get to make new friends too, like these girls who are new to the orphanage this year. They really want to learn English and they asked how to say so many things.
We also enjoyed being with our interns Megan and Samantha.
It is amazing to see how much the kids are growing, Petrisor is almost as tall as me now...
...this is a picture of us with him during our first trip in 2007!
Alina still calls us Mommy and Daddy...
...she has grown so much since the first time we met her in 2008!
Alina and I took a walk to look at some swans on the lake near the orphanage.
Don't know what this is but it looked cool so I went for a my favorite: a macro shot.
Here is a bonus picture, I was walking by the open air market the other day and saw this. I thought it was funny so I figured I'd share it.
