Chris writes: Ah the weekend!! time to relax and sleep!! Sadly life in Krushe once again means that we are being held to ransom by the electricity company (Kek) after having our power cut off since Thursday afternoon. This will probably last until Monday at least. Unfortunately when this has happened previously, people would just hook into their neighbours supply so the company now just cuts out the whole section where the worst offenders are which of course affects those that do and don't pay in the same way. Our feelings are mixed with annoyance with Kek and frustration for the people that think they can escape without paying. Sadly for some people this is because they have no income at all...this then leads back to the government and how are they helping such people...but we are not living in a rich country such as UK we are in a country with high unemployment and evidently little resources to help those struggling financially. This all makes the head spin and an acceptance of the situation or as they say here 's'ka me bon' or 'what to do'!! Having said all the above this is tempered with the sound of our generator which fills the air not to mention the oversized car battery underneath the table where i am working which makes us very grateful and means that we still do have some connection with the world outside of Kosova! We continue praying and fasting as we seek God's will for our future...but for now the washing up calls me...with water boiled on the gas stove of course! Thanks for your prayers, support and for following our adventures. God Bless. Chris xx
