I'm safely home (David) and I want to show you a few pictures of my last couple of days in Albania. We had just said goodbye to the team from FL and were regrouping the ministry for my departure. Most of you know, by now, of the experience we encountered in
Vlashi on Saturday. I won't go over those details but would rather show you a few pictures. Mandi and I had just come from a house visit when the
detonations started. The tall, white plume of smoke is directly following the mile high red fireball and concussion. You can see the damage to
PSF's house where
Genti, Shpresa, and their children live. I apologize for not having more pictures of the broken and twisted windows and doors in the ministry center. Many things were so strangely damaged....the wood stove doors were blown open and ashes blown out of the stove, doors taken right off their hinges and flung to the floor, doors jammed and twisted shut and are unable to be opened, and yet other rooms were left untouched. It will be awhile before we know completely what the extent of the damage will be. We have been overwhelmed by the concern of so many of you that have already offered to help in any way that is needed. At this moment prayer for recovery from all the
trauma and shock is needed the most. Even I am finding it difficult to focus and stay on task.
