Baptisms!

Today Two of our transition graduates Alina and Mirela were baptised. These are girls that I've known for a long time so it was such a blessing to be able to be a part of the day and see them make this important step.
It was an honor for me that Mirela asked for me to be beside her while she was baptized. This was a first for me to help baptize someone and I was quite moved to be apart of it!
Alina is the young woman whose wedding I coordinated a little over a year ago and she is the mommy of cute Ruthie. We've walked through many of lives milestones with her and it was amazing to be apart of another!

May Team Highlights

The beginning of the month a few Canadian team members stayed around for a special photography club with a group of kids from one of the orphanages. We went to the park on a beautiful spring day. The kids got to try out their new skills while we got to spend some quality time with them outside of the orphanage.
In our preschool class we did a lesson on telling the truth and Franklin the Turtle helped tell the story.
At our Mommy's and Me class the Scotland Team showed the Mom's how to do infant massage. The babies got to spend some time hanging out as well!

Guests From Home

I was fortunate to have Judi Stewart and her friend Charlotte Love (now a friend of mine as well!) come for a stay. Judi and I taught together when I taught in Kansas and we were at the same church and small group. Judi and Charlotte came and spent 5 weeks helping out here. They did everything from helping with the kids, going to the baby hospital, cleaning, dishes and they even sewed all of the vests for the new band uniforms! We kept them busy! They were a great encouragement to me and my staff and I'm glad they were able to come!
