We arrived safely on Saturday EARLY in the morning. I didn't get to sleep until 5:30am. :) The first 3 days we handed out SO many Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes! :) It's like completing a circle that I began in the States. We've done a Christmas drama 5 times and sung carols for kids. I've learned 5 new songs in sign language. :) We've also worked with kids at the local orphanage, doing games and art. Last night the kids "practiced" facepainting on us... with some interesting results! I had a lovely Christmas tree on my face. :) The suggestion in the group was that I should leave it on and go to the pub for the band's first gig, like that. I vetoed that idea. :) Today I went with a group to paint with a group of young adults from a day center. There were four with us today with varying degrees of disabilities. It was really good. :)
The spiritual atmosphere of Uzice is very heavy. Our whole team is feeling it. For myself, every day between 3 and 4, it's like I'm getting a download of what is going on in the spiritual realm. At first, I had no idea what the heck was going on and it was really frustrating, but now I'm aware and ready to go on the offensive.
Well, I need to head back to the house to cook dinner. Thank you guys so much for all your support. I miss you all so much!

I love you and miss you. Enjoyed your blog and will continue praying. I am so grateful for the promise that you are clothed in the righteousness of Christ and that you have the mind of Christ. I pray that God will give each of you clear spiritual insight into exactly how He would have you pray and that He would use each of you to break through in His name.
