What day is it?

We have arrived safely after 3 plane rides and 8 hours worth of layovers. When arrived at the airport yesterday we met Mark Edwards and he took us to our host home. We are staying with Shaban(a fellow police officer Art is pleased) Velemay his wife and their four girls Fiolla, Abataree, Shkorta, and Lulay. This is the same family that Christina and Mindy stayed with last year. The were truly glad to see us and have been so sweet in their hospitality. Tiffany is sharing a room at the same house with a young girl from Canada. The team is a little smaller than last year but we are meeting some interesting people. They have 100 12-14 year old kids sign up for the camp that will begin on Monday. Jeff and Debbie Diehl as well as Josh have been showing us around and sharing with me some of the things that have been occuring in the community. We went on a prayer walk through the town this morning and I was in awe of some of the ruins I witnessed left over from the turmoil but there are new buildings being built amoung the rubble. Josh says that building does not always mean the economy is up as the numbers of unemployment seem to be the same. As we have been going around the town Art, Josh and Tiffany have been seeing people they met and spent time with last year. The are geniunely happy that they have return and have been excited to know they will be staying for a while.
Please pray for me that I will overcome my fear of the language barrier as they have and I will begin to form relationships of my own with those I encounter and that we will always emulate Christ in all we say and do. That He will provide us with rest and endurance during the full and upcoming week. We are praying that He will use us as a tool to do a mighty work here in Kosovo and that He will till the hearts of the people to allow the seeds to be planted. Ultimately we pray for His sovereign plan to be accomplished in His timing and that we will accept His will for this time we spend here among this people.
