My time in Albania is coming to an end. God has been so good to me this month. Every day he brought me new challenges. I want to take this time to share with you what life looked like for me day to day.
8:00am- Breakfast is over and we start Bible study. I will be honest there were days I did not get up until 7:55am. Every morning except Sat, we studied one chapter of Proverbs with the whole squad.
9:30-10amish- Bible study was finished. At this point we would run down stairs and throw on our work clothes. We had 10 minutes to be ready to go.
10:15amish- Espresso time and then to work.
10:30ish- Pray and start work (for the first 1 and 1/2 weeks I painted, and for the last 1 and 1/12 weeks I white washed)
1pm- Break for Lunch
2pm- Back to work
4:50pm- Clean up and have feedback with work team.
5pm- Head inside. Chill. Shower. Blog. Hangout. Jesus time.
6:30pm- Dinner
7:15pm- Evening Bible study. Every night (except sat/sun) we studied a different chapter from the book of Matthew.
8:30-9pm- Bible study over. After Bible study we would sometimes have team time. This month our team time mostly consisted of watching the Bachelor.
10-11:30pm- Head to bed
Repeat this every day for 3 weeks, and you will have my time in Albania. We worked with a ministry called Lightforce. Here in Albania they run summer camps for kids. The majority of the kids that come here are from really troubled homes. We spent the month doing manual labor around the camp/farm to prepare it for the summer. We were also blessed to be poured into every morning by our contact George. He is a man of such wisdom. God really challenged and taught me a lot this month. We head to Sofia, Bulgaria on Monday which is rumored to be a 13hr bus ride.
