Alright… so their last name is Biletskaya, but seriously… we lived with the Von Trapp’s. Absolutely the most musical family that I’ve ever met.
We had a Pappa, Momma, Babushka and 11 new brothers and sisters, plus a few cousins!
We played and sang everywhere that we went. Everywhere.
It was never annoying because they are SO good and they love to do it!
We spent the month visiting the elderly, gardening for neighbors, harvesting potatoes, praying in hospitals, building fences, painting murals and working with the youth in the village.
I loved being part of a real family again.
Momma stuffed us with crazy amounts of delicious food all day long and we never complained 🙂
We were only 3k from the Black Sea. BEAUTIFUL!
We’ve only been gone a few weeks and we seriously miss them like mad.
Scroll to the bottom for a few clips of the musical genius from the Biletskaya’s and Lazko’s!
*Thanks to Kasey for some of the pics and Berdien for putting the video together. I love my team!
A few pictures for you… the whole family, working in the yard, harvesting potatoes, eating grapes out of the family’s backyard, our paintings on a wall by the church, saying goodbye when they serenaded us at the train station, taking the family to a movie in 3-D, me and my girls at Swan Lake 🙂
When you sponsor a child it not only provides a hot meal, clean water, discipleship, and basic medical care for the child, it also supports their family by inviting them through the gates of the CarePoint to receive training, discipleship and mentorship.
