Another week (and a bit more) down!

Wow I can't believe how fast this trip is going by. It feels like we just got here, yet next Thursday we will have been here a month!! I think that is just crazy! and when we start throwing vacations into the mix, we won't know what happened to the time. Alrighty, so we officially started working at the orphanage on Monday the 5th. I was assigned to isolation room, this room has ALL of the babies and let me tell they are so stinking cute. They have already stolen my heart; I love them unconditionally even when they are frustrating me because they won't go to sleep. It breaks my heart when I lay them down for a nap and the start screaming the second I walk out of the room. I'm learning to be okay with leaving them to figure it out themseleves. I work in Isolation with my roommate Leah and she is the best! I love her to death. It's nice to have someone else to figure things out with. We  also started shifts at the hospital on Monday the 12th. My shifts this week were today (tuesday) and tomorrow. Today was interesting. We have to go to each floor and say this phrase "copii fara mama" which translates the child without a mother. These kids are ones who's parents are working and can't visit them a lot. Sometimes kids from the orphanage I work at are there, so we visit them too. The nurses usually tell us that there aren't any kids. So we just move on the the next floor. Next week we will start working shifts at the apartments that have orpahns in them. The apartments are across town so we have to take a bus. I forgot to mention that we work the hospital and apartments in the afternoon from 2-5. 

Ok, so kida funny stroy. So after working at the orphanage one day a group of 5 of us went to the grocery store. I was with two girls from my apartment and realized I needed something from across the store. I told them that I was going to go get it and find them. So we split off, well after getting the item I walked around the store and up and down every isle of the store looking for these girls. I also looked for the other two girls and they were no where to be found. Turns out each group of girls thought I was with the other. Needless to say I was left at the store. So I had to walk home alone, which is totally fine.
Anyways that is all for this week folks see ya next time!

Another pretty building. I believe it's a church 
My church building
 I love the Palace at night

The concert outside the Palace on Saturday night. It was so cool!! They sang a lot of American songs. The also sang Phantom of the Opera and Disney songs
This crepe was THE BEST!! I got it from the Palas Mall food court. It had chicken, mozzerella and tomato in it.  
Ok so this is really sweet. So we pick up our catered lunch and dinner at the same spot every day.
There is a flower shop right next to the pick up spot. Well the older gentleman that runs the flower shop kept looking at me and the girl from my group I was with. After a bit he comes up to both of us and gives us flowers. It was super sweet.

This is the orphanage I will be working at for the next for months
