I overslept this morning, so I showed up late to meet Courtney and buy cookies for the Freedom Home. I volunteered there all day. We played with the kids until naptime and then just hung out with the girls there. It was fun! And, I learned a card trick. In the evening, a friend of Doamna Zinaida came over and it was good to spend time with them and practice Romanian. She is really funny.

Today was good. In the morning I let myself get lost in the center of the city. I waled for like three hours, it was nice. I volunteered at Freedom Home and played with cute babies. I had dinner with Annie and came home to more food.

Today was nice. We had a super laid back book study. At the internat, I had the job of presenting the Vorbit Frumos (Speak nicely) diplomas to the kids. But two of my favorites didn't get one. Afterwards, we walked around the park and went to the Galbenoos. It was fun!

My BIRTHDAY March 30, 2011
I turn 19 today. The day at WMF was awesome. When I got there this morning, Magda called me in and asked me to lead Tuesday prayer time. Then when I walked into the office, it was decorated with balloons and gave me Chocolate and sang. The kids at the internat were really excited about my birthday (it was Dima's too) so they made us cards and threw us up in chairs (19 times for me). Romanian lesson was good and I ate so much chocalate! At home it was kind of boring because I couldn't skype my parents. But, all in all, it was a really good day :)

Book discussion this morning was really provoking. So much of what I buy contributes to the exploitation of people. My old navy jacket, the banana I bought today. Not to mention that I play into the opressive system of multinational corporations and contribute to the killing of God's nature, which further oppresses the poor. I need to make serious life changes. God did something really cool at the internat today. Tatiana, one of the girls I prayed for last week, and one of the very few kids in our program I don't know came up to me randomly and grabbed my hand, sat me down next to her, and started talking to me. During homework time, I helped Cristi and read a book with him. In the evening, I went to an AMAZING organ concert with Audriana. And, when I got home, some English speaking relatives of Doamna Zinaida came over. It was a great day.

I am still a little sick but today was fun. Although, I found out about something very sad. One of the most adorable little girls at the internat with huge blue eyes and a shaved head (because of lice) only has a mom, who is homeless, and a distant aunt somewhere. Two weeks ago there was a fire and her mom was burnt really badly. She died at the hospital. She doesn't know yet. Please pray for her. God loves her and is holding her, but it is so hard to see someone who has already had a hard life go through so much.

Saturday was really nice. I worked at the freedom home, played with the cutest baby ever! What I find very interesting about that place is I see the trauma of the girls more obviously manifested in their children then anywhere else. I feel very welcomed by everyone there.
Sunday: Sick, slept all day, watched a movie, tried some interesting home remedies.
