These past 2 weeks have been quite the change for the 2 of us, no doubt. We were totally excited to welcome 16 (!!) travelers from Stockholm, Sweden. Heather and I were loving the idea of new faces, voices and noise in our little home/church. They came as a team from a Bible school in Stockholm. None had been here to Breza before, and had only a partial idea what it held for them. They would come to work, pray...and work some more. This was true; it did happen...
ever so diligently, they worked for hours digging for
pipes, drains, parking lots, fences...
adding beauty...
doing....
and patiently REdoing most things...
Heather and I were incredibly blessed by the time spent in praying with them. Being able to battle with them for a place and people so wonderful was very powerful. They took time to not only minister to the people of Breza, but to me and Heather as well. It was a MUCH needed refreshment for us, like a breath of fresh air. We had great fun getting to be a part of all that they were doing.The hours were long, the work was completed, and everyone was absolutely blessed by the beautification of our church grounds. Nonetheless, in the end, this team that had come to work, pray and work some more for Breza, Bosnia & Hercegovina, were themselves changed. Relationships were formed in these 10 days... for life.
Funny how it all happens, you know? 16 people left there little Bible school in Sweden to come to a little town in Bosnia...leaving HUGE footprints behind. 
Thank you guys...SO MUCH!!
