First Day in Romania!

Today was our first full day in Bucharest! We all went to the maternal home and had all sorts of jobs. Some people went to the pediatric cancer hospital, some cooked lunch, and some watched the children. For lunch we cooked baked chicken with a cracker breading, potatoes with cheese and bacon, and ice cream for everyone. After lunch we went to help another local missionary get some crafts ready for a kids summer camp by cutting string, cardboard, and other various tasks. We just finished a delicious dinner of authentic Romanian food! My favorite part of the day was spending the morning with one of the little girls at the home, Abi. I painted her nails, danced with her, and she sat in my lap as we watched television. She is such a sweetheart! I'm excited to get to know the other kids as well! Learning about the sever darkness of Romania's history really stirred my heart, and I can't wait to see how God is going to continue to teach us during our time here in Bucharest!
