Falesti orphanage
Wow--This is amazing. For those who may read this this is my first time in Moldova. I truely believe God is working miracles here. If not with the people here then within me. I have read how the Holy Spirit allows people to hear exactly what they need to hear, from whom they need to hear it and when they need to hear it. I have experienced this all day. I have talked to at least 100 children, with and without translators, today and we always manage to understand each other. These are some of the most open and loving children I have ever met. I walk into the room and there they are all over me. I worked with children between the ages of 2 and 6 all morning. Others in my group have nicknamed me Gulliver. By the time I had to leave I was pinned on the floor by 10 or more children. What an experience. In the afternoon I helped the other group with the children between the ages of 7 and 16. They all want so much attention it is almost overwelming. The joy and excitement that you feel all day is nothing less than a gift from God. May the Lord continue to bless us as he has today. God be with you

All I can say is wow back to you! We are so happy for you, and it sounds like you're having a great time with the kids. Robbie says you're the first thing she thinks of every morning - you are all we're thinking of all day! We are praying that you and the team continue to feel that joy (even after you're home)! Lots of love,

Hey Brian!
ReplyDeleteJulie and I were just talking about you yesterday and your incredible desire to spend time with these kids. We can't wait til you come back to work and share your experiences with us. Give the kids hugs from your American friends in HR and let them know we love them too.
