In the last week we have participated in 7 parties, made 600 cookies, and had tons of fun!!! We divided the kids up into different age groups so we could spend lots of time with each kid. Our first party was at Voluntari with the preschool and elementary kids. We watched A Disney Christmas Carol (in Romanian) and...
This week I had a bit of a heavy heart. I keep seeing things that just physically hurt my heart to think about. I met a girl my age who could barely walk because her feet were so swollen and frostbitten- she had nowhere to live and had been sleeping outside for weeks. I see teenagers who can't...
Sorry things have been a bit dry over here on the ole blog. We have been cracking away working on language, holding babies, singing songs with the kids, having guitar class, and just enjoying as much time as possible with the kids. You know...missionary stuff. We made masks with the little guys a couple of weeks ago, for...
We have just completed our first month of language lessons! We have learned SO much in 4 short weeks- we even just wrote three short essays for homework last night!

So we just finished our second week of language lessons, which means now we have no idea what is going on but we get excited when we hear a vocab word we recognize. We are also able to say who we are, who you are, who they are, what we want/need, what we know (nimic(nothing)), etc....
It's fall and the kids are all back in school... and so are we! We have just finished our first week of language lessons- and we have already learned so much. After 3 lessons, we already have 600 flashcards, so it's going to be a long path to fluency! We have really been enjoying learning Romanian. It...
We've been here a week, or seven days, or approximately168 hours. It's Monday (ok it's not Monday, it's Tuesday now, but this blog took longer than expected), which means back in the states I would text my brother "I'm a Horse!" (in reference to our favorite sports talk radio show), but here, there is no sports talk radio... at...
