Babysitting!!!!

YAY! We got to babysit last night for another missionary couple in Craiova that has four kids ranging in age from 5 months to 5 years old. They have been here since July 15, so we have actually lived here longer than them! They actually plan on staying longer than us though. They are a couple from Ohio, I think....and have come to work with a church here. We've only been able to interact with them three times total. The first was their "Welcome to Craiova" dinner, the second was at an American missionary prayer meeting last week, and the third was last night when we watched their kiddos! It was a blast! We were so excited to be able to interact with kids and actually communicate with them again. It's been too long! We would love to watch some of the Romanian kids in our church, but it is a little difficult to watch kids who you cannot communicate with yet. We basically played Uno, CandyLand, and just hung out. I did manage to magically turned into a slide with the three oldest ones and gave piggy back rides and snuck into the monster cave. I love kids - they are so creative.

We were just excited that we could serve another couple in allowing them to have date night and build into their marriage. They haven't really had a babysitter or time alone since they got here and haven't really realized it. We are really thankful we could play with their kids for a few hours in order for them to spend time away and focus on their relationship. Yay for marriage!
