Time with our kids!

We are having a great time with our kids. Yesterday we met the kids at the Black Sea. Many of them ran to the van to meet us and we had a sweet reunion. The kids led us to the water to watch them swim and dive and play in the water. Almost all the American teenagers jumped in from the high bridge. It is at least 15 feet high. The kids love jumping in from here and they love that the Americans do it too. I told Igor that if he would jump in, I would too. I'm safe.
Our new team members jumped right in (some from the bridge) but they jumped right in and made friends with the kids. They all already have a large group that have claimed them as "their own". It is awesome seeing our new kids and it is awesome watching the new team members fall instantly in love with the kids.
We spent the morning this morning pulling weeds at the House of Hope. I'll talk more about the house later...time is very short on the internet tonight.
The afternoon and evening was spent with the kids at Camp Viktoria. We brought supplies for bracelets and there were groups split up all over camp making bracelets.
Tomorrow we will go to church and head to the village to minister at the orphanage there. There are about 30 orphans. We will take the orphans to a park in the village and the kids in the village will join us. Pray that we will be able to lead many of the kids to Jesus. Maybe even the parents who will most likely be watching from the side lines.
I hope this little blog makes some sort of since. We have to go and I don't get to proof read.
Love ya'll. Thanks for your prayers! We feel them. Everyone is doing wonderfully!!!
