Tirana, Albania. It only took us near 70 hours to get here. Well worth it. 3 trains, and one over night bus and were here. God has been doing awesome things. We got here around 1:30 in the morning slept in a park, the boys took shifts and stayed up and watched over everyone. But yes we bummed it for a night. Ha some of the best sleep ever which is the funny part. In the morning we woke up to a beautiful city, warm sun, and no money. Ha we decided to worship and then came along a man who wanted to know if we were backpackers and what we were doing and he wanted to help us out and so Austin, Colby, and Brenda followed him through the city and to the backpackers hostel which of course we could not afford living on $6 usd a day for lodging.
Oh and when the man found out he was not getting any money from us he decided to hit the road. So this is the best part of the story. The backpackers hostel is basically right across the street from the Albanian chapter of campus crusade. WOO. So the guys and Brenda headed in and were fiercely welcomed they told them what we were doing and why and when and basically the people in charge here laughed at the fact we slept in the park and offered us a place to stay with a couple, Petreat and Meredith who was born and raised in Gainesville, Georgia. Funny huh? Anyway this house has a basement built for us. Like really there are 8 beds. BEDS. Comfy beds with down comforters. And a bathroom with a shower for us 7 girls to share. The boys have a room upstairs and another bathroom. Then Nick and Lacey have their own room which is really cool for them. This household has been such a blessing they have offered up their home for a month. Thank you Jesus. Ha its been a while since weve had these things that we just take for granted at home.
