fter a long day, it is refreshing to come back to the orphanage where 50 kids live
without parents. It sounds funny, but these kids are so happy. They don’t know
about the plight of all these refugees. The Nyberg’s have created a warm environment for them to
grow up while hoping for a family to take them "home". The oldest kids (5-6 years old) know
our names and give us kisses when they see us. They so quickly replenish all the
love and care we have given out all day long.
he bandages came off last night. The scar will be small we think, although it is
too early to tell. There’s a little hook in the nose, but only a mom would know.
Please think of us from time to time, and think of the people of Kosovo. They need
our thoughts and prayers for today and for the future.
e are good and in good spirits. This is all our news. Dave and I both have colds
and some stomach problems from bad food or water. Not sure which yet. We are really
feeling like this experience overcomes almost any other that we have had since leaving
the states last July. Not exactly sure how long we will stay, but we think about a
month or so. We are so tired right now, we aren’t sure if we will be able to resume
our travels after we are done. Tomorrow we unload two semi-trucks worth of aid for
the refugees. Lots of manual labor here, more than at Beyond Malibu!
e love you all so much. Today a 12 year old girl told us she was here without her
parents. We asked where they were. She said, "The Serbians killed them." We are
so thankful that we know you are safe and waiting for us to come home in August.
We pray for you.
