Once again it's time to update you all on A LOT of happenings around here in Cahul. We all had a blast doing the VBS in Lucesti. So you can all experience a little bit of what went on that week, here's a video I put together, so enjoy! The last day of the VBS we distributed shoe-box Christmas gifts to the kids. These kind of things that others across the globe do for low-income communities really does positively effect families in places like Moldova. To see the kids faces light up when they carry a big shoe box is something you don't want to miss.

The past two weeks have been more of relationship weeks. We have been doing a number of things from praying for people and even going out into the city to help YWAM Cahul by searching for organizations in the city that they can possibly work with. We also did a short VBS with Emmanuel church. Even though it was only two days it sure was a fun two days! It's structure was very similar to Lucesti's VBS with English Club, Bible class, Crafts, and games. The kids seemed very excited to be there. Emmanuel church had an encouraging team helping us with the VBS, we are all so glad that we got to minister with this church.
Last Thursday me and a few others went to visit a friend that helped get our team leader's car out of the ice a while back. This man just happened to be the director of Cahulpan, the largest bread bakery in Cahul. Upon our arrival we were led up the stairs to his office. Ivan, the director, greeted us with a big smile. We talked for a few minutes, and then he said that we could even have a tour of the factory! After our tour, we said goodbye to Ivan, and he said that we would be getting a box of cookies as a gift. This guy seriously has a lot of generosity. I am so thankful for people like Ivan that welcome us in and take time just to talk.
When you go away from home for an extended amount of time there are so many possibilities of how you could react. For most there is a "romantic" period where you are just happy to be in a new place and experience new things. Then after that period is over you figure out that maybe you just might miss home more than you thought...I have definitely been experiencing a bit of homesickness. It doesn't mean that I don't love ministering to the people here in Cahul or anything like that. Sometimes our bodies just can't handle the change especially if we are already sick. One of my team members had to go home at the beginning of this month because she wasn't getting better. Her body was really trying to heal but after a time sometimes we have to make a choice. Please keep her in your prayers!
