The Eagle Has Landed...

Hello everyone! It's 9:15 pm in Balti, and we found an internet cafe!! Everything went well getting here...just a LOT of flights, but it gave us more time to get to know each other and to SLEEP! I am actually not that jet lagged because I got so much sleep on the way here. We made it here with only 2 bags missing, and those will arrive tomorrow. Customs was a breeze - thank you for your prayers on that! Moldova is beauitful. It actually reminds me a lot of middle TN with the green rolling hills. We go to our hotel in Balti last night about 8-9 pm. We ate, unloaded our 500 bags of supplies, got the supplies ready for today (more to come on that later), and FINALLY showered and went to bed. I went to bed at 12:30 am, but I can't speak for the rest of the team. We had breakfast at 8 am this morning and then loaded the vans to head for camp. And when I say "loaded" the vans...I don't mean with supplies. I mean with us. Oh yes, we forgot the supplies for today! I guess we were so excited about seeing these kids that we all thought someone else was getting them. Luckily Christina talked about flexibility in our morning devotion, and we had our "Flexi cookies." It turned out fine without them, and it only gives us more fun things to do later in the week. When we pulled up to camp, the children came running up...and it all began. Lots of love! More to come later...running out of time. We're wonderful (a little heartbroken, but ok!). Keep praying!!!
