We have been here for a little over a week and we are all so excited that this is only the beginning as we have seven weeks remaining. Our goal is to support, encourage and help the Grimes in the ministries they have in place. Also to help them start a few new ones, such as a weekly children's outreach.
The past week we have been adjusting and learning what it takes to live in Tirana. The coming weeks will be much more eventful and I will attempt to keep you all semi up to date on the happenings of our eventful days.
Our week schedules go something like this... Sunday's we have church across town with Pastor Aleksi, in the mornings and then church at Streha in the evenings. On Monday we will be taking this time to rest and see a few different things. Tuesday's are also a little more relaxed but we will be helping another missionary in her ministry. She works with some of the Roma children and we will be assisting her. On Wednesday we will be taking Albanian lessons from our awesome translator Rudina and then we spend the evenings listening to the message from our church back home. Thursdays are rather full. In the morning we are all a part of school of ministry with Tom, then we have an English club for the kids in the neighborhood. In the evening we will be visiting another church to observe. Then, on Fridays we will be helping Gerald clean the church and in the evening we are leading worship in the city. Lastly, on Saturdays we will be hosting the children's event.
This all kicks in this week and it's going to be amazing to watch God work in all of us, both separately and in working together.
Would you please keep us all in your prayers for fresh vision and guidance as we walk in this adventure!
I plan to write soon with all of the good things the Lord has done!
Hayden loved listening to me read this to her. She says she misses you and askes "why is she going to stay there forever?" Haha you all are in our prayers!
