Bună seara


Gentiana and Paula

We are going to take turns writing these blog posts, and Matt decided today was my turn.
Today was another full day of classes. We had a few new kids in the first village, Maneciu, and it was really cool to see the kids who were there yesterday helping them to catch up. For the most part the 30+ kids are very good at sharing the 7 laptops we have for them to use. It is challenging to try and teach them how to use a computer when they speak very little to no English, but thanks to our many helpers we are able to manage.
Today in chapel we talked about sin, and how it doesn't matter if they have sinned a little or a lot it is still enough to keep from from being right with holy God. To demonstrate this we had two water bottles, one with a little water (apa) and one with a lot of water. The kids were asked which water bottle would hit the ground first and they all responded "the heavy one". They were amazed that both bottles hit the ground at the same time. Tomorrow we will be sharing how our loving Father created a way for us to be right with Him.
In the second village we had a bunch of new students! Yesterday we had 4 students, two younger children and two older students. They all brought friends today which meant we had around 12 students! There were around 8 who were older teenagers. We worked on teaching them to type and how to use Word. The 4-5 kids worked on using a mouse and typing. It was very exciting to have more people come today.
Be praying for our team
  • we will continue to work well together
  • we will get enough sleep
  • we will stay healthy
Pray for the classes
  • kids will come
  • they will listen to our presentation of the gospel
  • their parents will gain a favorable opinion of the church
