We have now entered our last leg of our internship and the mini DTS. For the last week we have split into two teams to do outreach. We came to a little village about 2 hrs from Cahul called Filipena and the other team went to anther village called Caslitea. Our main tasks are to conduct a type of church camp for the youth of the villages for the week that we are here. We had a chance to speak with the other team that went to Caslitea yesterday and they said that they are doing really well and they have about 20 children attending their meetings.

The life here is the simple farm life. Everyone has thier own gardens and produces alot of thier own food. Everyone seems to have a grape vine, an apple tree and a few chickens...maybe some geese and some turkeys! The place that we are staying is a old farm house that serves as a meeting place for the church in this area. It is also located near one of the many commuinty wells in the area. Me and Brian have had the privalage to fetch our daily water from the commuinty well. This is a moment that we really enjoy every evening and morning because we get to meet new people from the village there... plus the water is frezzing cold and quenches the thirst! Another expierence that we really enjoy is eating fresh sweet apples everyother day from one of the apple trees in the yard of the house that we are staying in. There are a few bee boxes here too. One of the men from the church came to harvest some of the honey from the box the other day and was kind enough to give us a jar on Sunday at church.
Yesterday was our first day with the kids. We had a really big turn-out. Some taught the children and others worked with the teenagers. Me, Brian and Virgina are working with the teenagers while Vironica, Annia and Ducia are working with the little children. We just spent most of the afternoon getting to know the teenagers while the children learned about creation. After this we played some games with the football (soccer ball). Today we will be having more of a discussion time with the teenagers and telling them about the person of Jesus and his character. Pray for us and the kids. That God would use us as tools to work in the hearts of the kids and that the kids would be open.
