It snowed today - a LOT!
We started the day at church services at a Russian Orthodox church. The music was really pretty. They had rituals we didn't understand but enjoyed watching.
During our time at the orphanage today, Marca's group was wondering what was going on in Stephanie's group because they were laughing so hard and loud.
We gave the children their sponsor gifts today. They were very happy to receive them. The gloves, scarves, and hats are very useful. But the personal notes and pictures touched their hearts. The translators kept saying over and over how happy the kids were.
Looking forward to tomorrow.
