Chris writes: today I am glad to say is Friday and the end of a busy week! We are looking forward to a weekend relaxing. We have one more week before we get a week off and then the fun starts! Medical teams and my parents staying with us will keep us busy almost until May. The last few weeks have been good - preparing for Dave & Cindy to return from USA - which they did this week. It is good to have them back and hand back the 'mantle' and start preparing for the summer here in Krushe. We are also talking about our return to Krushe which we both feel is right to do. In the midst of us talking about our life and the next few months, our future and our vision for our time here - the pain of the people in the village is still as raw as ever. This week one of the staff very couragously shared with us that the body of her brother would be returning to the village to be buried in two weeks time. She has wrestled with this for sometime and also with oppostion from others in her family as her brother is the only body which will be returning and whether it is right just for one person. Her pain of not being able to see her brother at rest and of trying to think of the feelings of other people in the village must be quite intense. This is our priveldge to be able to support her through these days. This morning we found out that there was a meeting in the village yesterday to discuss bring charges against the people who rioted in the village in 2006 when the UN brought some Serbian people through the village. At times like these it is easy to flare up and protest for justice and mercy. Please pray that we will have wisdom in doing what Jesus would have done. Thanks for reading.
