Today was a very different day for our team. Flexibility was in high demand as we were switched multiple times in our orphanage assignments, eventually splitting up into three separate groups throughout the course of the day. Through it all, however, I believe that the team WAS strengthened. One team member put it something like this: "The Lord knew who needed to be at each orphanage. This group would be better here, while that group would be more effective there." We've gained new understandings of each team member's strengths and unique gifts they bring to the table. Tomorrow we'll be able to put it all together with our first full-team orphanage visit. I'm really anticipating a big performance. Please pray, however, that we DO NOT RELY ON OUR STRENGTH, BUT SOLELY ON THE LORD'S. All depends on Him. Very little is actually accomplished by us.
Tonight was the worship night for Children to Love. We sang praises to our God in English and broken Romanian, and several members of the group shared their testimony. I pray that our testimonies would be an encouragement to the Romanian staff (that what they're doing matters), would open new doors for witnessing (several children were present at the worship night), and (most of all) that people would be saved. I hope you will pray these things as well.

Good job! Only God knows and chooses how to turn the little seeds you plant by way of smiles, hugs, listening, singing and sharing into lasting fruit in days to come. Since you don't speak the language well, your actions will speak all the more louder. Glad you are all doing well!
