Yesterday and today

Oh my GOSH!!! The kids! I have come so close to crying, but didn't cause I din't want them to see. There was this mom with three girls. Not sure the age of the two older one, but the youngest was 5 months and was super tiny. I have a pic I'll show when I get home. Eeoi! I wanted to bring them home with me. So beautiful and so tiney because of malnutrition. The mom had no more milk, so she was spending their momey to get milk for the baby so the other children were starving. It was so sad. (I'm getting a knot in my throat right now.) I just want to love on all the children. Yesterday we were at one village all day and I was just so exhausted when we got home. I din't drink as much water as I needed cause I was not going to use the "Thunderbox." But oh my! We played games, had puppet Bible stories, sang songs, fed the children, washed their hair, did crafts, and loved on the children. It just broke my heart. And to watch them scarf the food down cause they were starving. Yoy.

Today was a free day. There was a Mideival Festival up on the Cidadel(sp?). It is kinda a renactment of back in the day. It was crowded to say the least. Oh my. Mel would have DIED!! There was a gal who eas dressed in something Mel would die for. She was dressed in black and green with some leather and she carried a bow with arrows. I tried to get a pic, but not sure it turned out. So many people were walking past. OH!!! I saw a dude that looked like Orlando Bloom. SERIOUSLY!!! Mom and I had to look at him twice. I almost got a pic with him, but wasn't brave enough to ask. Then we din't see him again. Oh well. I bought some stuff. :P I am a millionare!!! YESS!!! I have a 1 million dollar bill. Can you believe it!? I am rich!! By Romanian standards. GUESS WHAT!?!?! I found MOUNTAIN DEW!!!!!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! It doesn't taste the same, but it is still MD. So now I will have a Romanian MD bottle and a Pepsi bottle. It's great.

I am learning two languages here. Romanian and Northern Irish. lol! There are four other ppl here besides our 19. Three are from N. Ireland and the other is from Scotland. Actually he was born in N. Ireland, but he lives in Scotland. Tomorrow we are going to church in Sighi. Dad is playing the guitar and singing two songs. Then we are going to Candu to go shopping for a while before going to the evening service in Tigmandru. I am going to get some handmade lace. It is beautiful! Yoy. I will prolly get some other stuff. Not prolly. I will. ;)

Well, I'll get off now. More will come when I have time.
