Life in Albania

Our third day of work began with several setbacks which has put us behind schedule about a day. In order to deal with these setbacks the team had to hoist up by pulley 23 feet high in the air buckets of sand to be spread around the roof to fill up holes, etc. And then how do you get 100 concrete blocks on the roof when the lift doesn't work? You get the team to walk them up two flights of stairs as well as hoist them up by pulley in order to get the job done. Thanks team for being great servants today!

We noticed one of our dear girls (Pastor Chad this is one of your favorite girls) crying as the day came to an end. When asked what was wrong, she responded by saying that she knows that someday soon we will leave. Please pray for these children and their families that they continue to sense and know the love of Jesus even after we leave.

On a practical note...the meals have been wonderful at the Bible college. They have made gourmet meals which have been delicious. However, at lunch today in the neighborhood, chicken livers were served and I had to eat a lot of bread and cabbage salad to fill my tummy. Along with the turkish coffee that some of us have tried, I am pleased to say that I have not had to use the turkish potty while in the neighborhood.
