yesterday i had one of those moments, where i know the truth that God is everywhere, but i thought, man oh man, jesus would have been sitting in the filth with the gypsy people.

i went with a young missionary woman to this garbage dump behind a shopping center, and all of the sudden there were a ton of house like structures and garbage.  and among all that people.  lots of kids. 

kate and i taught a simple math lesson…i mostly just hugged and smiled at them.  they gave kate and i each a woolly mammoth statue.  probably now one of my favorite keep sakes.

i am still wrecked over that visit still today.  the kids were under dressed  for this cold weather and uneducated.  and i am thinking today what in the world am i to do next?  how do i respond…there is so much in the world to respond to…

i held this little baby with the cutest cheeks ever and just prayed for her.  her sister who was probably around 10 kept giving her to me to hold and the mom would take her away and then some how i would get her back.  she was precious.

i left on the bus at 6 this morning and came back to sarajevo.

tonight we have the normal meeting with the campus crusade people.  i am excited to see that and see if anyone from the english workshops from last week come tonight.

tomorrow we are having a party for the english workshop people and then i go home on friday early afternoon.

god is doing great and marvelous things here…just at a different pace than i have ever seen.  cool to trust god for things that might not happen in the near future…but you know deep down that he is working…

love god.
love people.
