Albania was a breath of fresh air, both figuratively and literally. It was great getting to eat a meal with real cheese, fresh bread and some amazing sausage and still stay under budget. We were incredibly busy all month, but it was so good to finally have a month that was full and where we could choose a different ministry every day and still be helping out our host. Albania is a month that will be missed and was another hard good-bye!

11 Things I Learned in Albania:

  1. Staying under food budget is possible
  2. Mini vacations are wonderful
  3. Albania is absolutely beautiful
  4. Patience
  5. Discipline
  6. I was reminded about how much I like Europe
  7. Children just want to be loved
  8. Living in community is hard but wonderful
  9. Smiling and laughing is a universal language
  10. Gelato is amazing
  11. Waking up and spending an hour with Jesus is the best way to start your day

 

This race life is crazy and is flying by, I pray that I don’t ever forget that this life isn’t normal and to take advantage of each day!

Love you all!
