Oh- my- gosh - it was a TIDAL WAVE of hugs and kisses from the kids today when we first arrived!!!! I wish I could take them all home. What a blessing and such a rush to receive the unconditional love from children and young kids who truly miss and love you. There's nothing like it. Ummmm...yes, it was my first day at the 25th of May orphanage - LOL. I saw most of the kids I have known for the last year and half and I also met about a dozen NEW KIDS. Incredible. Beautiful kids. I have some photos to share. Today I also met David Aderholdt, my soon to be boss from New Mission Systems International mission agency! Great to talk with him over coffee. It was a HUGE DAY for reunions. I will add all my pics to my profile area in this google account and it will be for DAY 1. You will see the team's project work too - remodeling the girls' hallway and bedrooms. Lots of dust today :) So you get a taste of the "before." On Saturday you'll see the "after." I am so happy. God is awesome. The first picture you'll see Traycha, Me, Ibro, Marina and Nikola, the lead pastor of Soulcraft Church. The next picture is with Bubey.  Next is with Ibro, then 2 sisters (twins) who have recently come to the orphanage. Finally, I am with another new girl at the orpahange named Cista.
