We are now in Novgorod! But the last days in St. Petersburg were not to be forgotten . Some of our new amazing friends from camp met up with us in the city to show us what their city was about. The bus driver from camp took us on an amazing night tour of the city. We also were invited to the cook from camps house for an amazing dinner with her and her daughter. It was such a great time and we felt so blessed that God had placed these wonderful people in our lives.
We also worked at the transit center in the city. We met many amazing kids who had very tough stories, we played with them,did crafts, and simply sat and had tea with all the young girls, talking to them about their lives. We were so sad to only spend three days with them.
We are in Novgorod now and have worked at a transit center for young kids under ten and a transit center for youth. Both have been amazing experiences so far, we have gotten to know many great kids and many great friends from Novgorod who have gone to these centers with us. All the kids at these centers are blessings, they come from difficult situations but they are still energetic, smiling kids that are so excited to play.
On Monday we start work at the Tuberculosis Center and are so excited to see what God has in store for us and the kids we will be around.
Thank you so much for your prayers and support, please continue to pray for our health and all the children we are working with. We love and miss you all!
