Now for the Fun!

Read the previous post! It leads into this one!

So, I just realized that I have a limited posting space on this tablet so I have to split it up between certain sizes

So after Jonny showed me my room, he asked me if i was hungry... Oh no, I see God... Everything is going to be fine except for the food... Weeeeeeeeeellll, Actually it was amazing. So incredibly full of flavor! But let me tell you, these dishes look and sometimes smell really bad. There was a "pepper sauce" that Jonny told me was good. Let me describe it to you... It smelled like SPAM, looked like oily SPAM, and was in an unlabeled jar... So I said, "what the heck" and it tasted nothing like Spam! It was actually kinda delicious. Ill try to get some pictures of the food. Also, they named dog food after me.

So there i slept. And slept. And slept. Except when i woke up, it was 11am which is 2am for you. So my body HATED me. Even though i had 9 hours of sleep, it was though i was made of molasses. And the kids had an early day at school so they all came home. I met several in the hallway while they peeked their longhaired 7 year old faces from behind a wall. I turned around and they all pulled their heads back, followed by very loud giggling. So I turned back around and then WHIPPED my head back to see them pull their heads back and just start laughing! You can see two of them, Ela on the left and to the right of her is Ana.

There are about 15 kids in the orphanage and they are all soooo cute!!! There are also some older mid/early teens here too that usually are doing homework. But I did get to hang out with a few of the older kids.
Now here is the really cool part. I got to play with them and most of the younger ones dont speak a lick of English, but i know just enough Romanian to understand some of what they say and talk to them as well! God really blessed me with Dorin to teach me what i know now! And from this point on, the kids are teaching me more Romanian than i thought was possible! I am able to understand almost a third of what they say (With help from a R-E Dictionary)!! They are seriously the sweetest kids because they are super patient with my lack of understanding them, yet still as crazy as kids should be.

God has already done some amazing things! I met with an older lady named Joanne who was from the states. She was the lady i was supposed to give the large sum of money to, And wow did i learn a lot!
She is 82 but is a VERY powerful prayer! When she prays, you better hold on to your seat or else you are going out a window. Absolutely an amazing lady! And It was also very nice to someone who doesnt have an accent and can speak english really well.

Culture shock? I dont know yet. The hardest thing for me is not being able to understand everyone. Otherwise I feel very at home, especially around the kids! And my suspicion was correct! They do need someone to help teach drumming and maybe to drum as well! More on all of that later though, it is late and I am very tired!

Now here are some pictures of the country. It is quite post communist looking if i do say so myself.
