Saturday in Vlashi







(notice the green trees to the left and then the brown burnt trees on the upper right)



Saturday isn't Saturday in Vlashi without the children meeting at the ministry center. So, I've included some pictures of today's meeting. Each week in this village there are about 35 children that attend. Today I really cut it close. I had just enough candy for everyone. Not one piece left over. Yesterday afternoon is the regular time for the older children's discipleship meeting. I've included the picture of them with Klara and Arjan, the leaders. This is a small representation of the usual group. This was the first week back after summer vacation time and several forgot to come. Also, I got a picture of the nearby hill where they had a fire that could have become dangerous to several of the homes of children that come to our meetings. It is very similar to the situation in Greece. The temperature has been hot for many weeks and there has been no rain for two months. Any kind of spark can get out of hand within minutes. Since I came on Tuesday, we've had two nights of rains and cool temperatures. We've brought out the sweaters. I guess my sleeveless shirts will go home clean and still folded.
