Parting Thoughts

From Matthew

This morning we were all gathered together to say goodbye.

Jack, one of the leaders, told everyone that we Americans were leaving the camp. The response was filled with sadness and we exchanged hugs.

Afterward Jack asked us what stuck with us at the camp, I said that I would like to tell my school about the camp and maybe start an impact club there. We then got our bracelets. The bracelets were made by cutting climbing rope and melting the ends together though it took some time because the matches kept going out.

From Jairen

This trip has been very exciting. The country is much more beautiful than Massachusetts.

There are fields of sunflowers we are passing presently, and we have passed giant hay bales. 

 In Romania the VIATA program has had a great impact, not only to the kids participating in it but also to us Americans. It gives us an opportunity to help kids who need help spiritually and emotionally and give them a more meaningful life through happiness and the love of Christ.  

I hope we have been of good service to the VIATA program and to the kids in it. We have made great friends in our groups. Some can speak English, and we have made some awesome memories together.

I also hope that through our testimonies more people will want to come in the future. I'd love to come back again.
