We're Fine

The only demonstration we've seen here in our village is the school children marching down main street to celebrate Kosova's independence. The US Embassy that has been attacked is in Serbia. The ruckus within Kosova is mostly limited to the northern regions, 60km from us. There are 17,000 NATO troops here in Kosova, 35 countries make up the peace-keeping forces. While we are wary, we feel the violence will not grow due to their presence. Please join us in praying for a peaceful transition here in the Balkans.

We continue to keep Kosovo and the Palmers in our prayers!! We are so thankful for your blog page. We were worried when we heard of the Embassy bombing but relieved after reading your page. We miss you guys but are so thankful that you are following God's lead. We look forward to hearing all of the stories!! Give the kids a hug.

Dear Palmer family - prayers and peace-filled thoughts are with you.

I'm still wrestling with your question regarding # of countries -- I'm up to 83 of them. East Timor and West Timor confuse me? :-)

Seriously, our thoughts, love and prayers are with you and your new Kosovar friends.

God Bless, Steve & family
