First Day

After breakfast, Genta and Flori helped us unload the cartons, reorganize everything (we don't have to worry about each carton containing less than 70# now), cut fabric and assembled our needs for our this afternoon with Genta's young girls. They were fascinated by the construction of the quilt - so it is good they are not all quilted so they can see the work. We checked out fabric stores while Genta took care of some business at her job - and finally found some fabric that could be used for quilting. The "shops" here are a little different - we went to a market with small stalls.

Then lunch with Flori and Genta and a taxi ride to pick up the young girls. When we arrived, one of the girls had her new parents there - they are a Christian couple from Nashville and are adopting an energetic young 15 year old. They have much experience with fostering kids, and saw this young girl's profile on the Bethany site. So, they came here to adopt her. There was much going on, and the girls we were to take with us to Genta's house were swimming, so we ended up taking a much needed nap back at the Stephen Center.

This evening we are finalizing plans with Adi and Berti for tomorrow and Thursday. Tomorrow we will see the young ladies, and then see Adi's group at her church. It promises to be a busy day.
