Chris writes.... the time is just before 12pm and another day is over at the Cerdhe in Krushe e Vogel. The day care falls silent once again until tomorrow morning at 7.40am when the first staff and children arrive. Everyone has gone home and we are left to ourselves - up the stairs in our own wonderful home. It is hard to imagine that in a little over four months we shall be leaving the Cerdhe to start a new life for ourselves, we believe and desire to be in Kosova. We have now been living in this tiny village in the south of Kosova for just over 12 months, excluding our time in UK during last summer. Sometimes it has been really hard going and very frustrating, sometimes most enjoyable. Sometimes we have felt like running, sometimes like staying. The fact is that after 12 months I really feel that at last we are starting to make a difference. The staff seem to notice more how we treat the children. We are starting to build relationships with people in the village. We are more able to communicate with the staff and children as little by little (nga pac nga pac - as they say here) all be it painfully slow we are starting to grasp the language. We are starting to learn and understand more of the culture. I am even starting to feel more confident and secure with the job....a job I had never done before! I feel like Nehemiah...we came here to do a tough job leaving the comfort and security of UK and soon we will return, for a while to our family and friends, to the beach, to our church, to fish and chips....and so on. But we are not there yet...there is still more we must do, more we can learn, more we can take from our time here. Thankyou so much for following our adventure and standing with us and please pray that we can finish strong and that our adventure will continue and we will know and remain in God's will for our future. Zoti ju bekoft.....or God Bless as they say here......ne emrin Jezus.... ..in name of Jesus. xx
