Hello, everyone! I hope more than one person is checking this for updates. If you have time, please leave me a comment. It gets lonely over here without all of you!
Things are going very well despite the heat. It is oppressively hot. To the point that my dad\teaching partner and I have been ending classes early and going to the hotel restaurant to drink a cool beverage and finish our lesson with writing\discussion questions. It's not that much cooler at the hotel, but at least we have refreshments. I have never been this hot for this long in my life. We literally all sweat through our clothes all day every day. It's like 90 degrees by 8AM and 100% humidity with no breeze whatsoever.
I gave a devotional this morning at our daily staff meeting (Albanian, Kosovar, and Americans) about being still and listening for the voice of the Lord. That is one of my major prayers as I serve here. That I would continually be in a posture of listening and stillness of heart, so that I may hear what God has to say to me (Habbakuk 2:1). I would encourage you all to do the same.
But God is good! After a somewhat shaky first day of teaching for me two days ago (what can you expect on only a few hour sleep in nearly 48 hours?), things went much better today. My students are opening up and having more fun in class. Please continue to pray because starting today at 5PM, one of the translators and I will be meeting individually with the girls in my class to share the 4 spiritual laws with them. I know that God will do a mighty work, but it's still nerve racking.
Oh, and please pray for team unity among us Americans. We've had some drama. Not major, but enough to create hurt feelings and a little bit of division. It's all been addressed, but that doesn't mean the baggage is gone. Luckily, the team member who was puking all night a few days ago (John Klewer) is feeling much better and we haven't had any other health issues thus far.
I love you all and appreciate your support! If I don't get out of this internet cafe soon, I'm seriously going to die of heat. Cotton pickin' humidity!!!
P.S. No adorable, manly, Godly men found yet. There's still time!

Glad to hear that you're loving the heat! We got a very small taste of what you're going through yesterday...super humid super hot and a little nasty hot rain. =) Please don't find a man who lives in Albania, that is just a little too long distance. Hehe. Alright, well have fun teaching! I've been thinking about and praying for you. We have a new song @ night church that you will love. See you in a week. Yay!
