Bosnia Adventure

This is an alter scarf that was hand made by the lady with me. I got this for my church as a gift from me for supporting my adventure to Bosnia This group of women are the Phoenix Group. They were some of the first women to start to support themselves after the war. In the background is Kathleen with our group
Here I am giving out the scarfs that the ladies in FCC gave to me. Before I left, each lady in my church brought a scarf to the meeting. A scarf placed around your neck and shoulder is comforting as Christ's love wraps around us. Crossing the scarf on your chest is a reminder of the cross which Christ died for you. I took this message to Bosnia as I gave the ladies I meet the scarf from our church. The love came from each lady in our church to each lady in Bosnia

October 2007 I travel to Bosnia with a World Wide Women's group. This is just a small part of the adventure I would like to share with you. This is the Mostar Bridge. This bridge was originally constructed in the 13Th century. It was completely destroyed during the war 12 years ago. No one owns up to bombing this bridge. The Japanese government took the lead and started to reconstruct the bridge. Each of the stones were retrieved from river and the bridge was completely rebuilt. The Mostar Bridge is an awesome sight to behold.

The day that we visited the bridge, it was so cold and the wind was blowing so hard. I had on my coat with the hood, scarf and gloves. I was so cold. Taking in the site, I was walking across the bridge alone. This was one of the "tourist" part of this trip. As I stood at the middle of the bridge, I could see that it had snowed in the surrounding mountains. The wind was whipping around my head as I grabbed my arms trying to warm myself. The other ladies were shopping. I was thinking, this was not on my agenda, to shop, this was a church supported mission, but it was a beautiful area.
