First let me say that I published yesterday’s update on this blog but under “First Trip,” so just click on those words at the top of the page.
We had a full day. We visited Hope twice. She is warming up to us little by little. We brought her something that is called sweet cheese. This puts a smile on her face. She loves it. She also loves juice and drinks straight out of a regular cup. We also met with the doctor at the orphanage. She was extremely nice, but we really didn’t learn anything new about Hope. For lunch, we enjoyed pizza at Andy’s Pizzeria . We also traveled around the city with Albina delivering what we think are notices similar to a subpoena. We went with her just in case we needed to speak with any of the people who will be in court. The employees at the orphanage all seem to be nice and caring. The children seem to be taken care of as best as the resources will allow.
We had two other translators today. One was Natalia and the other was Boris, who is a Christian.
We also saw the Parliament Building and President’s house that had been vandalized. The translators have been very open about the corruption and political situation in Moldova. Chisinau is so gloomy and drab. There are many old apartment buildings built from the Communist era. It is all very depressing to me Parts of it look like a war zone. I am reminded even more of the blessings we enjoy. I am already home sick and can’t wait to see Dow and Beth. It would help if the sun would shine!
Our court date has been moved from Friday to Thursday. There are a few challenges that we will face, so we would appreciate everyone’s prayers.
