The memory making continued on during the month of May. The
Canadian Team wrapped up, we had a few days in which we were "teamless"
and then the North Carolina Team arrived. We packed the NC team full
of more special events. We had another zoo field trip, two special
gatherings with the teen girls to talk about true beauty, a special
visit to a severe special needs orphanage that some of our kids have
been transferred to over the years, and a day at the park with some of
the Rosiori youth. Whew!
Back at the zoo, followed by ice cream cones from McDonalds!
We also had plenty of time to play at the orphanages! Below, I'm trying to teach this group to play jacks. Some of the kids caught on, some not, but fun had by all!
The group at Herestrau Park. This is the big "central" park in Bucuresti. We had a scavenger hunt through the village museum, a picnic lunch, a boat ride on the lake, followed up by ice cream sundaes at the team house.
It was a lot of fun to visit the severe special needs orphanage. We do special events there a few times a year and the kids are always very excited to see us. Some of the kids there came out of the orphanages that we do full time ministry so they know us well and are especially excited for our visits. The NC team raised money to throw a pizza party, so we brought in pizza and brownies and shared lots of nice moments!
Sometimes, I think that you must think that all that I do is host teams and special events. Sometimes, I feel that way too! But there lots of other things that I get to do. Right now we are getting the pool shocked and ready for summer camps. Today I spent my morning picking cherries! We have a ton. And sometimes, on down days, Jenny and I do something to relax. In between teams this month we visited the Mogosaia Palace.

It was another great month. Thanks for being a part of my life!
