Day 12-
June 24, 2015
This
morning we helped Bailey with the music rotation. Of course we started with a dance party to
get our wiggles out! So fun! Then we practiced
two songs that we hope to have the kids sing as a concert for the teachers. We
practiced each song once with just our voices, and then we practiced each song
again, but added instruments. It was so
cute to watch them play and sing!
After our
VBS rotations, we had lunch. It was
Sarmale day, so I was very thankful for my peanut butter! Then we had our
afternoon break, where we mainly just hung out and chatted. I enjoyed looking out the window at the community...
When the
big kids arrived in the afternoon we split them into two groups. The interns had tested their English ability
to split them into a low and high group.
While the interns took one group and taught English, I took the other
group and played games. First we played
red light/ green light. I would only say
red and green in English so they could practice those words. Each round I told them how they could move. For the first round they had to walk like their
feet weighed a ton, then they skipped, then the crab walked, and so on. They really seemed to enjoy it!
After a
few rounds of red light/ green light, we switched to a new game: head,
shoulders, knees, and toes. I’m not sure
if that is its real name, but that’s what I decided to call it. The kids make an inside circle and an outside
circle. The person across from them is
their partner. When I say go, the two
circles walk in different directions.
When I say stop, they have to freeze.
Then I say two body parts (such as head and elbow). The two partners have to find each other and
touch those body parts- one’s head touches the other’s elbow. This was a hilarious game, which we WILL be
playing again. They had tons of fun!!!
Once all
the kids had left, Gabi took me to my apartment to drop of my new fridge!! I’m
so excited to have cold water to drink!! And ICE!!! Then we headed back to
Point of Hope to pick up Jessica and then go to TM. Daci drove us back to TM, and I must say, he’s
the fastest driver I’ve ever ridden with!! It was a little like a roller coaster!! In TM, we headed to Buckner Romania’s office
and made cards for the kids and women to bring to get in next week. Then Gabi took us to BauMaxx (the Romanian
Home Depot) to get some sticky stuff to hang the mural. Then we went to the mall to shop a little and
have dinner. After a yummy dinner Gabi
took us to the bus stop to catch the bus back to Tarnaveni.
All in
all, another GREAT day!!
Please be
in prayer for Jessica’s last day tomorrow.
She will be headed to Bucharest tomorrow evening to fly out early Friday
morning. Pray for safe travels and
comfort as she says goodbye to everyone here.
