There is a lady here named Reggy that does a ministry involving refugee kids and families. She has basically created a safe, Christian environment for those in need. the kids are all extremley energetic. A little girl named Michelle, put me in plastic handcuffs and sent me to "jail" another little girl named Karly helped bail me out:) we did this a few times. I also played ping pong with a guy named Thompson from Nigeria. He schooled me, but said I was really good. The little boy on in the picture on the left is named Sydney, he is two and it took me the whole time to get a smile out of him!! He has a twin sister named Shelly. They are both adorable! the picture on the right is of Marcelle. He is the smelliest, most energetic kid I have ever met. He wouldn't let me put him down for about 10 minutes. We played uno poker using candy. Overall it was an amazing expirience and I cannot wait to go next time
Mission Trip Update:
I am head off to Croatia the first weekend of October to help build and repair houses!!

Slug-Bug! *punch*
I still cannot quite believe that you are THERE! I think, Brooke, you'll never be the same again ... and that's a good thing! Or should I say, that's a God thing. You will come home better equipped to love people; better equipped to serve; better equipped to be about Kingdom business.
Congratulations on the adventures! 'Can't wait to hear more stories!
