Day 3: Again (I think this was friday) haha, we started with breakfast and then headed out to the Ministry Center! This was the day that we got to bring some of the kids from Solotcha!!! They arrived, and we were waiting for their bus... It was SO good to see them! They ran off of the bus to come give us big hugs! The first sweet face I saw was Alosha (Sasha's little brother) and he ran straight to Chris and gave him a huge hug! We also saw some of my favorite little 10 year olds! Lolita, Nadya & Nadya, Sveta, Masha (Valdemar's sister), Valya, etc. Blythe got a big surprise when Ana & Nastya got off of the bus.... it was a beautiful moment! They were so excited to see each other. There were 20 kids from Solotcha (about 10 kids that we knew and about 10 kids that were brand new that we’ve never met before. We played some games (Q-Tip wars) and did some crafts. We ordered pizza, and then by the time we looked up, it was time for them to go home..... it went too fast. I can't believe it... it really went too fast. There were many opportunities for good conversations and pouring into these kids. That night, we invited some of the graduates to La Plaza (our favorite pizza restaurant) to have a meal together. It was a lot of fun! And it was also Chris’ birthday, so we got him some cakes and had a celebration! Again, a few pictures from the day (don't worry, we'll post plenty when we get back :)
