On Thursday we met with Lee, the founder of Networks whom I wrote about in a previous post, and worked with some of the kids in a local gypsy village. Unfortunately we were unable to take pictures because they want to protect the villages from becoming tourist attractions.
This Friday a group of us started repairing the play structure at the church who is housing us for the week. We've replaced the old wood, repaired the roof and started painting on Saturday.

Saturday morning was spent visiting the orphanage building and Christian clinic connected to Maranata Church in Arad (where Emi's father is the pastor). Emi's dad also took us to Revolution Square, where the Revolution in Arad began. He shared stories from 1989 and also from his time as the mayor of the city from 2000-2004. The first thing that caught my eye when we walked into the square were the words "Via, Veritas, Vita" on the municipal building. These words of Jesus: "the way, the truth and the life," were added to the building during Emi's father's time as mayor. A city that was once under Communism now has Jesus' words on their most important government buildings. Praise God for change.
