Hi everyone!
I'm here in Moldova and we are having a fantastic time! I am living with 3 other women (Amanda, Jessie, and Heather) and we have our own little apartment! It is a really cute place, we have 2 bedrooms, a room where we will have meetings and stuff, and a kitchen. The kitchen is my favorite part because the table has little benches that go around the wall and make it really cozy to sit in. Like a little breakfast nook!
Last night, we arrived and Annie (our leader) picked us up from the airport. We took a taxi to our apartment and loved looking at all of the buildings. It kind of looks like you would expect Eastern Europe to look like. Really big buildings, mostly housing, kind of gray. Everything here is written in Russian and Romanian, so I've got to work on getting my language better! I kept trying to read the labels on the things we were having for dinner and forgetting that it wasn't English. Lucky we had people there to translate for us!
Today we got to go to the Internat, which is the state run boarding school/orphanage where we will be working. It was really hard not to be able to communicate with the kids, but they won my heart all the same! One of the little girls gave me a lot of hugs and we painted each others nails. She kept following me around and helping me learn how to say things in Romanian. They were all frumas copii (beautiful children). I can not wait to build relationships with them!
