Today was our first full day with the team. We met them after breakfast at Streha and had a time of prayer and worship. Then we split off into groups to begin preparations for the Bible Blast we will be hosting tomorrow night. We taught them the songs we've learned in Albanian and they practiced the skits. After this Rudina, our amazing translator arrived to teach the summer team a few greetings.
She also gave us a lesson on culture. It was an awesome presentation. After the team had all learned how to say their names and where they are from we headed out to dinner. Once again it took a very large table to seat us all. 
We spent a few hours fellow shopping before regrouping at the church. Although some of us stopped for coffee first. 
Then, from there we split into two groups and went to lead worship in the city. Half of us went to the Kristal center and the other half went to a neighborhood park. All of us had fliers to hand out to the children for the Bible Blast were hosting. 
However, those that went to the park were able to mister mostly to an older generation. They had the opportunity to pray for several people and invited many people to Streha . 
Those that went to the Kristal center ministered mostly to children. There is always a rather large group of kids located here and they always enjoy the music when we're there. Hopefully we will see a few of their faces tomorrow night so we can share the love of Jesus with them! After this we all met back at the church to encourage one another and give praise reports of what God had done. We prayed to end out the night and then the team headed back to their hotel.
We ask for those you reading to pray for health and strength. The enemy is hitting hard with sicknesses and exhaustion in attempts to prohibit the Lord's work. We know though, that our God is stronger and greater!
Today was a great first day and were only on day one!
Thank you for reading!
