Has your heart ever been filled to the brim with gratitude & joy because of the little ways someone shows that they love you?
This past Sunday, I felt like that. My first week of ministry in Craiova, I met a group of AMAZING teenagers that have shown me nothing but love during my short time of getting to know them. The way that they love, care for, and fight for each other is beautiful to witness & simply getting to be in their presence brings a smile to my face.
This past Sunday we had a picnic with them, and they made us a FEAST. They (and their parents and she grandparents) cooked us a whole bunch of traditional Romanian dishes, and I felt so honored that I actually wanted to weep the whole time!
Here are some moments my team leader & squad mate captured from that day:
(We all sat around the food on lil picnic blankets & just talked & laughed for 2 1/2 hours!)
(These are cabbage rolls! A national Romanian dish!)
(Alllll the yummy foods!)
(Kyle, Jenay, Kylah, Cami, and I with all of our Romanian pals!)
(Our pals being SUPER cute & silly!)
(Sweet sweet hugs with my sweet sweet friend!)
(Our reaction when it was time to eat!)
Sweet friends, what an honor it is not only to love you, but to also be loved by you.
All the love,
Nikki
