What a blessed day in Bulgaria. Our team started this exciting day at the baby home in Montana. We were greeted by a great director of the home which gave us a history of the home and its many needs. Shoes and more shoes were placed on many beautiful feet of these babies and some just received socks because of their age or disabilities. The babies were so happy to see us and just needed to be loved as Jesus loves us. The emotions and feelings that our team members felt are beyond words so I have attached pictures. Several children today were sick so they need our prayers as well as the workers taking care of them.
Our lunch today was prepared by three ladies at the Lom Baptist Church. Home cooking would best describe our wonderful lunch that renewed our strength for the afternoon. After lunch we proceeded to the Lom orphanage which consisted of preschoolers to the age of 18. We placed shoes and sandels on these children. Everyone worked so hard and with love and compassion to each child. The children were touched by their shoes and afterwards we went outside to play with the children. Amazing and exciting things happened today in which God had already planned. We ended the afternoon with a stop at the bank of the Danube River before returning to the hotel.
Their are so many emotions that are experienced through our team members that I wish you at home could have an opportunity to experience. Your prayers, thoughts, and excitement make our trip possible because God is at work with us in Bulgaria. Russ
