Our second full day at the 25th of May orphanage, and things happened today that were so much fun, meaningful, and so GOD. I found out that one of the kids, ZOKI, that is no longer at the orphanage becasue he is living now with his Uncle (PRAISE!!) is actually coming to see me this Friday or Saturday!!!!!!!!! So, according to what I am told by Denis (one of the students), I will not leave this beautiful country wihtout seeing one of my favorites! SO GOD. Also, spoke more with individual kids, receiving more personal stories of their history. The team is really connecting with the kids and its just SA-WEEET! We learned how to play a Macedonian game called "Get the Stick"..... I have pictures of it in my profile under Makedonia Oktumvri D2 album under photos and a couple below. Some photos below to give you a snapshot. First photo: Me, Mimi and her sister Kate, #2 is a shot of Dino - an 8yr old that just arrived a week ago - #3 is of Almir and me - he was not there last May but returned - I first met him in May 2011 - #4 is me with Berkhan, Boorhan and Arian, 3 brothers - #4 and #5 are shots of the GET THE STICK game - too funny - and #6 is Bubey and #7 is Ibro, Martin and Arif :) Enjoy and God bless - hey, by the way, thanks for checking out this blog :) That's cool!!
