This morning we called the children’s home again at 9:00 a.m. (4:00 p.m. Latvian time) and were able to get Kristine on the phone. Like yesterday, I was on one phone and Rob was on the other extension. This time when we called, someone answered in Latvian so I said “Labdien, Kristine Ludzu”. The woman then started speaking to us in Latvian. I quickly said “Ne Latviski” which means “No Latvian.” We heard a lot of rustling in the background and we could tell she was calling for someone to get Kristine.
A few seconds later Kristine was on the line. She was a little reserved. We could hear that there were other people in the room so it was probably hard for her to talk. She didn’t speak much English to us, but we were able to tell her in Latvian how much we loved her and missed her. She quietly said, “Me too.” It was SO good to hear her voice. She said she was doing good and that camp was fun. She asked us what we were doing and we told her our plans for the day. She said she was playing with her friends today.
Once again, we didn’t care what we talked about. We were just so thankful to hear her sweet voice over the phone. We plan to call both kids weekly now and will continue to write letters to keep in touch. Hopefully, we’ll be going to see them in Latvia real soon. We can’t wait!!!
