Bundles of Joy

Hi everyone ... I'm at the Bridge again. We've had a very full day and it isn't over. This morning we all arrived at the table for devotions suffering from extreme jet lag! ... Noone could fall asleep last night and felt it this morning, but we've all managed to get through the day and I'm sure we will all sleep well tonite.

* Anita shared devotions this morning. This was new for me because I've never really done devotions in a group, but everyone is wonderful and very supportive. I don't think we could have found a more diverse group that works so well together.

* A group of 5 went on an agape run to some outskirt villages to deliver food and clothing. Here's a couple of pictures ...

* The rest of us stayed at the orphanage to play with the girls. OH MY! ~ Nothing could have physically prepared me for their energy except training for the ironman! Gabriella took my hand immediately and showed me around everywhere and played, and played ... and played. Between all 8 of them, My upper body strength has tripled. I carried two of them back to the house after taking them outside to play on the swings & slid. It was precious. What was very heartbreaking is the greatness and emptiness of the building. So much space is not able to be used due to lack of funding and the orphanage is HUGE! Here's a few pictures ...



Me and Dalia ... they had a blast taking pictures with everyone's cameras.

This is Sanda ... she is so precious. If I could, she's be coming home with me!

They enjoyed getting new hats & scarves for the winter.


* After visiting with the kids, we went back to the clinic for lunch while they napped. We came back after lunch and worked with Anca to sort TONS of clothes that were brought in ... an entire room for the foster families and another room for agape families. Tons & Tons of clothes ~ It is truely amazing the work that Peter & Ana are doing with R.E.M.M.

* Now we are at the Bridge setting up some stuff & doing some baking for the wedding and taking turns checking out emails. Check out the church blog for more pictures and stories.

Miss you all & Lots of Love!
