Chris writes: has been a fantastic day - Praise God!! really felt some sort of a connection with the children and doing some useful (i think!) work. Playing with and dancing to some Albanian music with the children this morning - drove one of the autos (cannot say 'car' in Albanian! Look it up!) this morning - sadly as we all know, they have a design fault and they put the drivers seat on the left side so you have to use the stick with your right hand which takes some getting used to; then doing some gardening which everyone said looks good and had a kick around with some of the older children who also helped and encouraged with the gardening - this was a great opportunity to build relationships with them. After supper came down to earth with a bump while chatting with Cindy telling about how the people just don't respect the place or the work that has been done and how they have recently actually trashed the place while everyone was away - she said this really is about longhaul and we should not expect to see any quick results! Oh well - never mind.......keep trusting!!
