The kids are not just teenagers as we expected, there are approx 6 under the age of 10. The youngest is 3, his sister is 5 and they are all SO precious! Today in VBS the kids made a bouncey ball, experiemented with static electicity (static from your hair on a balloon will pick up pepper from a plate). Ater that we made friendship beads, colored and played musical chairs. It's amazing how they have so much fun with such little things!
Today did start off very emotional, as Kaspers (7 yrs old) left to go to France for the summer. Even though this is a tremendous opportunity for him, he left behind his brother Maris. Neither wanted to be separated, and Maris fears he will never see his brother again. We all cried with him and prayed for him. Fortunately Maris came on into VBS and eventually had a smile on his face. I know that those that have been to Latvia before and know these two are probably crying reading this because these two kids are very special!
Again, Internet access comes and goes - so we're very happy that we are able to post at all. Hope the rain has stopped there! Thanks for all your comments!
Luv,
