I was so excited for my first train ride. A snappy Romanian woman made sure we were on the shuttle “quickly”. She even grabbed Jeanne’s bag rushing her – rushing all of us to hurry up. These people are so frank with you. We were dropped off in a pitch dark area with no train tracks to be seen. We walked up the sketchy path to where we had leass than two minutes to get all 13 of our bags and us on the train.
It was so fun being in the cart with just Keturah and Jesse Walsh. We slept together, ate together, read together and laughed together. We thought we were scott free being the only ones in our cart until an older gentleman joined us.
It was so fun walking from cart to cart just like in the movies. I felt like Angelina Jolie for a moment. I wanted to jump on top of the train like in the movie Wanted.
We quickly hopped off that one and rode another train to our location. There was actually a KFC and McDonalds. I haven’t seen KFC since Thailand. I was so excited. When we arrived to our home we found out we were staying in a loft. It looks just like Granny’s attic.
Hannah and I are in what looks like Aunt Sis’s room and the other girls are on a half wall away. We have our own privacy. It’s awesome. The best thing is we have a bathroom, not like the old woman pot Granny put in the attic for me during the night. There is a washer machine in the house as well and they cook for us. This house feels like home.
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.
