Over the year that we had them with us, as they became more fluent in English, we learned how they escaped when soldiers were after them. It was an unimaginable tragedy and terribly distressing. They, literally, ran for their lives. After their resettlement, they lived with us for a year before they found a relative in California. It was hard for us to say 'goodbye', as we had become very attached to them. <br />More recently, I gave them a call, and their eldest daughter, now a pharmacist, cried when she told me, "We can never thank your church enough for what you did for us." <br />She and her family are, to this day (36 years after the fact), extremely grateful for the second chance we gave them to live a life of freedom.
