so i wasn't sure what to expect today with all the children coming. i've heard alot about what it was like last time but with things like this its never really the same twice...so i didnt know what to think or expect!
the day seemed chaotic at best to me but it seemed when the kids left like it was a pretty successful day.
it was pretty sweet to see how many kids eventually made their way into the church yard :) it was also cool to see some of the younger mothers come with them and really pay attention to the story and excited about learning the verse, making a craft and even playing some games with us! I got to play volleyball with one mother and even though we couldnt communicate verbally we defintely bonded as we passed the ball back and forth and messed up our hits and laughed at ourselves and each other!
whenever we have free time and the youth are around we play four-square and some of them are getting pretty good again and i dont like it so much b/c then they conspire against me and gang up on me! but its fun :)
also, tonight we dragged Flavius, my host brother, with us to visit mom and dad's host couple so he could translate for us...and he had his work cut out for him! Peter and Anna are the couple mom and dad are staying with but the only english word they know is "shower"! but Peter LOVES to talk, he says it is his talent! so he just keeps talking even tho he knows we dont understand him! well, today with a translator there, he would have still been talking to us right now if we hadnt managed to creep out!! he was the most animated talker i have ever seen tho! i could have sat there for hours and just watched him as he talked without understanding a word that he was saying :)
so its been a long, fun and exhausting day and for the last couple hours i've been chilling with my host brother playing our fave music for each other! :)
tomorro we get to go back to the hot springs pool but i think this time we're gonna take some of the teens from Ciacova with us to hang out!
continue to pray as we minister to kids and spend time with Marius, Tabita, Lavinia and the other teens and people hanging around the church or our host homes!
