Just returned from having midnight kafa bosanska, sladoled, and some hard laughs as Ante turned coffee cups upside down and Nancy was chasing waves doing…I'm really not sure what. Sitting listening to Nina (popular Bosnian singer) and reflecting over the last several weeks and realizing that soon I will be leaving this place.

Today we went into downtown and visited the church there. I was blessed by their worship and the hour and half of getting into the word as a message I couldn't understand was given. Spent the rest of the day shopping and playing on the shore.

As a team we met for debriefing and shared the variety of responses to this time. God touched this team … not one of us will leave unaffected or unchanged. We have all grown to greatly enjoy each others presence and already I'm beginning to feel the loss of their presence as we go our separate ways when we return home. Very thankful for this time and for the team that I got to share it with. Thank for your prayers on our part.

I would like to let you in on my thoughts and what I have experienced in the last week or so since I last wrote, but my thoughts are too many and it is late. So the details will have to wait till later, and I will simplify it to say God has shown me much, some deeply saddening and difficult to deal with and some so full of hope and promise and His light and so wonderfully beautiful that it makes me ache for that which is to come. We do indeed have a fearfully wondrous, powerful, and loving God. To Him be the glory.

Thank you for your part in this adventure. God bless.

His,
