After a slightly more interesting morning then normal (due to the fact we had no running water) we headed out in the rain for Maneciu. Even though we arrived about 15 minuets early, there were many kids awaiting our arrival. We quickly set up and let the kids who were there play games while we waited for the rest. Once we had everyone there we set them back up so that they could practice their typing some more. It was neat to see the children helping each other and teaching a few new students where to put their fingers and explain what they are suppose to do. We worked on typing for a while and then Krista taught them a little about Word. They enjoyed reformatting John 3:16 and making it different colors, sizes and fonts. Though it had been raining off and on all day, when it was time for our pauza (break) it had stopped and we were able to take the kids outside.

After a game for “football” (soccer) for the boys and some frisbee for the girls, we went back inside for chapel. Today’s chapel was a little different, after singing a few songs and giving my testimony; we used a skit to show the children how Jesus took our place. Matt was the bad guy who mugged the victim, me. The guards, Krista and Dr. G, saw him commit the crime and took him to Judge Jordan. The judge saw the evidence and sentenced the murderer to death. However, the judge stopped the guards before they could take Matt away and the judge took his place. Jordan then explained the skit and how it was a portrayal of what Jesus did for us on the cross. The kids all enjoyed the skit, and paid close attention to what Jordan had to say.
The afternoon was a little different. In Cotofenesti, the second village, we had a few new teens and had to get another table out so that we would have room for everyone. Like yesterday, we split the students up by age. The younger ones all sat at one table and the teens sat together. The main goal of the afternoon was to work on typing, both with the little kids and the older ones. I personally worked with the younger children. Once again they helped each other out when they could. This helped with communication, though some things, like “oopsie” don’t need to be translated. Some of the teens had a little hard time focusing on typing correctly, so that was one of the challenges this past afternoon.

Please continue to pray for us:
• That we are able to finish they last few days strong
• That we show these children Christ’s love
And also for the students:
• That they understand what we are trying to get across
• God will touch their lives in a major way
