Saying Goodbye

All of us have now packed our bags, made the journey over the blue sea of the Atlantic, and returned back to the schedule of normal life duties. We have so much to praise the Lord for all of his abundant blessings and answers to prayer. Although some of us have brought more back with us than we would have liked, namely coughs and running noses, our health was flawless and schedules were not interrupted. The planned events were more than successful with results exceeding our expectations. The time we spent with the workers, Mandi and Xhina, Genti and Shpresa, Arjan, Eldina, Klara, Mersin, Nori, and Lela was extremely rewarding. As usual, words can seldom express the feelings of leaving these dear ones behind to be on the front line of the dark battle. But now our role takes a course that stands invisible-- alongside. Through our prayers we join in with this dark battle supporting our commrades, lifting up their efforts. We must never forget the people whose souls depend on our prayers.
