Yes, a year has gone by and our 2014 trip to Romania has come and gone. So here I am, back at my blog to post some pictures and comments on our wonderful trip this year. Five of us traveled together over to Romania and back, while 4 other team members had different itineraries. But all of us managed to be in the same place at the same time for a number of days while we ministered to the kids alongside H2H.
Here we are, the 5 travelers, getting ready to head to the airport to begin our adventure: George and Krista Leicht, me, Emma (my adopted daughter for the trip), and Jenn Attwood.
And waiting for the flight to board! We all look so awake and excited! - ha!
We finally arrive - Jen and Natalie are at the airport to meet us! And the great news is: all of our luggage and extra bins arrive with us! Hurray!
Taylor Yang and Alice Murar were already over there, along with Natalie who served as an Intern with H2H for 7 weeks. (She's still over there now, but will return home this Sunday.)
And of course, my overview of our trip would not be complete if I didn't add in our crazy group picture with the H2H staff and Interns.
While we were there, we ran a 3-day VBS, helped with 3 (or was it 4?) two-day summer camp programs, swam with the kids in the afternoons, visited the Baby Hospital, and visited both orphanages for afternoon activities. We also squeezed in the Revolution Tour in Bucharest, a trip to Ploiesti and the glass factory, and a morning visit to Piata Obor, the outdoor market in Bucharest. And church on both Sundays!
Here are just a few pictures from our time with the kids-

We were so blessed to have Courtney Smith also join us here in Romania before she headed out to Uganda. The kids absolutely loved her!! And I think she had some fun too!

We also have some great pictures from our "play" of the story of Noah and the ark - watch for them in the next post!
