Today was a fun day for the team. They took the kids from the orphanage to a park for a picnic. They had lots of fun eating together, playing games, getting wet.
But then it was a tough day too since they said goodbye to the children for the last time. Robin told me that she is working with our group to make sure they recognize that they are now on the back side of their trip when they will need to say goodbye to so many new friends. They need to prepare themselves emotionally and be strong.
Robin told me that being in the orphanage was a blessing. She marveled at the missionaries who are giving their lives to loving these children and teaching them of Jesus. She told the group to notice that it is a work of God that has these children have a loving home where they are clothed, taught and fed three square meals a day. What a calling!
BJ is still struggling but seemed to make some progress today. She goes through good times and bad and still needs our prayers.

The Smiths are loving and praying for each of you. I'm wondering how many of those sweet little ones you'd like to pack up in a suitcase and bring home? It must be hard to leave them - ouch - I'll pray for the good-byes. When you come home....could you bring along some sunshine?!?!?!

Hi everyone! You are probably sleeping right now, but when you get up it'll be time to pack. I can't believe it's that time already. I am praying for you as you get everything together and say goodbyes. I'll pray for rest on the train and a great day in Bucharest. I am looking forward to hearing of how God has worked through you. See you very soon!
