Prayer Need

Please pray for my mother, she will be having surgery in a few weeks time. I will try to keep you updated, but that is hard because I will be living with a Kosovar family. Thank you!!!

On the Road Again

Sorry my blog is so boring right now- going here, leaving there, going to this place... I promise in a month it will be better and I will be able to post some picutres from my adventurs this far.

Well, in one hour I am leaving for Kosovo. This is a long trip (ten hours) through the mountains that I have heard are amazingly beautiful (it will be night though). I am so ready to finally get to the field. However, I will be spending the next month learning the language only. It is hard!!! Pray for me to learn quickly and to forget my perfectionistic side and just use it even though it is terrible.

I am also needing prayer over my stomach again- it doesn't seem to relate well with Albanian food in which they use an overabundance of oil. Thanks so much! I love your emails and comments. In a month I will reply personally, I promise!

Love y'all!

Albania

I am in Albania for one more week, then I will take a long bus ride (10 hours on a terrible road that winds through the mountains) to Kosovo. I am nervous about that. But I am excited about finally getting to my field. Once I arrive there, on September 15th we will have a meeting detailing what each one of us will be doing. Pray for direction for me!

Things I miss:
- Real toilets that flush toilet paper.
- Chicken noodle soup.
- Not eating bread with every meal.
- Having a dryer.
- My family and friends.
- Not being sick.
- Shower curtains and not having to hold the nozzle.
- An unlumpy pillow.

This list isn't things that I am upset over missing, it is more supposed to be funny. Mostly I miss people... like YOU!
