Santa's Bags Are On The Way!

Thanks for the prayers for our bags to arrive for the Christmas parties! After several calls, we talked to Paul tonight and he's on his way with all 11 of our bags! We're so excited because the kids and families have been asking when we are coming for a while. They knew we arrived, and we didn't see them today for two reasons.......one because we really didn't want to come empty handed, and know they wouldn't understand that our bags didn't come with us. And, we needed to shop for food items for the parties and for items needed for the Isaiah Center and for the Lodge. Soon we will be playing Santa's elves, wrapping, wrapping and wrapping and getting ready for the first two parties tomorrow!

Some of the team went to the gypsy market that comes every Monday, where gypsies come from all over to sell anything and everything. Then we all went to do the shopping. Paula is with her Romanian family spending some quality time and should be home later tonight.

We'll load some pictures that were taken today to share with you. We can't wait to share many happy faces tomorrow when we begin our celebrations of Christmas in Romania!

Love, Missy, Kim, Paula, Alan & Lois
