Day 2-Humbled

Today, we slept in a little bit, had breakfast here in our dorm room at the University and then Olga came and picked us up. We went and did a little site seeing around the city, Saw the Church of The Spilt Blood, road the Metro all day! Even at rush hour coming home!! Now that was an experiance! Wow! lol Everyone pushing and shoving..but very cool. We were so blessed to have Olga with us, since she lives here she knows this place like the back of her hand. She knew exactly what streets to take, where to go, what to avoid, where to get on and off the metro. We even took what they consider a taxi, which is more like a van..holds more people. Oh speaking of which..the driving here is insane!! haha Everone is everywhere going any which way but there are NO accidents! ha. So that was fun..we had a very nice lunch at this little place called MamaRoma's it was kinda like their version of Italian. It was really yummy. :)
Now moving one to the reason we are really here. We went to the Crisis Center Hospital. We first held the babies, for about an hour or so, we took them outside and just loved on them. They are so precious! We changed their diapers and fed them. A baby actually got dropped off while we where there. This is where the childeren get dropped off for a month or two before they get placed into an orphanage. Then once we were done with the babies, we went into one of the older kids rooms, kids ageing from 4-8 years old. girls and boys. At first they were quiet, we brought some stuff to do, we asked one girl if she wanted to color, "no" she said, do you want to play with play dough, "no" what do you want to do, "I want to go home" she says, and begins to cry. It broke our hearts! We started talking to anouther one of the girls, who was the oldest in the room, who actually has taken on a mother like role with the other childeren even though none of them are related. We were reading her a story by Max Lucado about how God Thinks Your Wonderful and she had some very thought provoking questions, she is very smart. It was really fun to be there playing with the kids but it was so hard to leave them in that small room that they have to be in all day. Walking down the hall to leave we watched all the kids from all the rooms stand behind locked doors and stare at us as we left. They have such a nice facility there and are very well taken care of but it just breaks our hearts. We will be there again some tomorrow. We are also going tomorrow morning to the Hermithee Muesum, very excited. Anyways..it's like 10pm so I'm gonna go put my eye mask on head to bed. This day light out side is really throwing us off! Talk to you all tomorrow. Love you and thanks for all your prayers.

Dear King of Kings,
Thank you for this wonderful life changing experiance! I just pray specifically for all the childeren tonight. Each and every one of those precious babies and little ones. My they know your unconditional love for them! Use me and the girls as a shining light to glorify you. Give us strength and wisdom.
Love Your Daughter,
Melissa
