We leave the orphanage in a half hour.
The day has been good with team members following up on relationships and having conversations with kids. I prayed with Karina and Galya today. They are sisters. Karina left the orphanage last year. Galya will leave in the fall.
Crafts were great.
We had chess and checkers tournament today. The Russians swept the checkers tournament. Dani tied a Russian teenager for the chess championship.
Our lesson went well, with many teenagers in attendance and the full message ended with a call to action. "What will you do?"
We leave with happiness for the way the week went, but with sadness as we will miss the kids. Karina just came by to say good-bye to me as she returns to her dorm. I am sad to see her go, but she is doing well in school. She said that the first three months in the dorm were hard, but she has adjusted. These are truly friends.
Blessings to all of you.
