Our teammates Chris and Becky left for the States early Tuesday morning. We had dinner with them on Monday, and it was so hard to imagine not living in the same town with them anymore. They faithfully served and loved deeply the Serbian people. Their phones were ringing constantly with Serb friends saying good-bye. The football team sang songs outside their home in the early morning hours before they left at 2 a.m.(!), and they even had a friend who lives in Belgrade say good-bye to them at the airport. And what dear friends they have been to us! We shared a Christmas together, Becky and I both had sisters who had new babies while we were in Serbia, we endured discouragement together, and we kept each other focused on God and His amazing goodness. They also invested time and poured out their love on Caleb and Samantha - something they did not have to do. My kids had a devoted aunt and uncle during their time here. Please keep them in your prayers as they transition to life back in the States. They are expecting their first child at the end of August.
