Tomorrow, tomorrow...

Hello everyone! It is late and I am tired so I apologize that my thoughts are probably going to be all over the place. Today was our last day at camp. we left early, at noon, and drove about 3 hours to Chisnau to the home we are staying at tonight. we ate dinner at the same restaurant we ate at last year in town.

there are so many stories that will be much better in person, trust me. our team is incredible and Emily has provided outstanding leadership :) I was able to reinforce relationships I built last summer, especially with my sponsor child, Carolina.....and also make many more new little friends. it was wonderful sharing hugs and kisses with Dad's sponsored boys and their older sister Mariana. They are such beautiful children (as all the kids are). Dad - One of the men on our team really bonded with Gehorge (sp.?) and Trofim, and I would love for him to be able to tell you a couple stories about them. Everyday when I arrived they called out my name and ran to give me a hug. I also played ball and stuff with them throughout the day.

I am really sore from doing recreation with kids for 5 days in a row! I'm so out of shape! I have tons of pictures to share of the kids and also of the country and the things we saw. Our drive to and from the camp every day proved very entertaining :) I have laughed SO much this week with our team members! This trip has been even better than last year. I'm not excited about the 20 or so hours of travel we have ahead of us, but I'm trying to look on the bright side!

Well I should wrap this up. Thanks to everyone for the prayers....they have worked in amazing ways! I will be home soon!
