What a successful day we had with all the kids from the Tarnaveni group homes! Although we had to switch to an "indoor picnic" because of the rainy/cold weather,it was still a great success. Most of the kids from these groups homes are older kids and several of them have special needs. There were quite a few of them right around our age or even older. However, everyone participated beautifully in our bible study and programs that we put on for them! It was such a huge relief that none of the older boys had an attitude and really enjoyed themselves. 

The favorite activity of the day was a game M'Kayla knew called the "duct tape game" where one person from each time is taped with a few strips of duct tape and the members of their team throw cotton balls at them. The team with the most cotton balls that stick WINS! Everyone wanted to be the person that got taped up-- too funny :) 

Liviu and all of the wonderful CDC staff cooked up a delicious lunch for everyone including grilled chicken and Romanian grilled beef "wraps" that are apparently very popular at picnics..so yummy! They also served soft drinks and sweets (which is a huge treat for these kids)so needless to say, the kids loved that as well!

It was great to have a chance to reach out to all of these kids and show them Christ's love! M'Kayla and I will start going to the Targu Mures group homes next week to work with the girls in the Buckner group home :)

Night!
