Pokrov Day 4






Well, the day started with very troubling news. Three boys were put in front of the entire group and reprimanded for leaving the orphanage without permission. No one knew where they were.

In addition, I received information that a girl that has been very close to me this week has a 25 year old boy friend. I will leave the rest to your imagination.

These are just some of the troubles of these kids among the wonderful things that we see God doing. Pray for these children who lead such difficult lives and have such confusing feelings and deep, deep emotional needs.

Today was chocolate day. We had some skits on the history of chocolate as well as a chocolate tasting that the kids put together. It's a terrible job, but someone has to do it.

This was one of those terrible days where everything gets changed on us. At the last minute, we had to take the kids to the chocolate museum. A few of us stayed behind with the kids who had already seen the museum, but a day that was supposed to have a lot of free time with the kids turned into a day of juggling the schedule.

We did manage to get in a great lesson about honesty as well as finishing up some crafts. We also had a 1-1 soccer game, although the American goal was scored by one of the Russian kids who was playing for us.
