It is now 11:35 pm and we are still up. We have had an awesome day. Got to sleep a little late this morning, then breakfast at Casa Josef....then a long walk to the Cabana( not sure if that is spelled correctly). Cabanna is the "Cabin" here in Romania. It is in a beautiful location right outside of Beius. Sits on a hill over looking the town. Sunny, warm day with the Lucaciu family and the girls from Casa Josef orphanage. Playing with the girls today was fun and interesting. They have grown up so much since last year. This is the first time I have really felt that my time with them was at times like being a mother to them. Opportunity to teach them in situations that arise the same as I would my own children. I was talking with them yesterday about Jordan and told them that we had adopted him. They asked if he speaks English. I thought it was interesting that they thought if we adopted a child he must be from another country. Once again today I heard them talking about it, then they asked me again how old he was when he came to our family. I don't know what is in their minds, but I can't help but wonder if the fact they can not come to live with the American families who want to adopt them until they turn 15 or older, and then only if they can get a visa...it gives them hope that there are people willing to still have a child come into their family as a teenager.
This evening ended with us eating dinner at Casa Josef, then back to our apartment at the coffee house. We have spent the rest of the evening working out our plans for starting the camp and preparing for worship tomorrow at church. We are so excited....we are going to a gypsy church tomorrow for worship!
