In Albania, everyone watches world cup soccer at nights on tv's projectors and flat panels which are brought out onto street corners or in front of cafe's. It really brings a sense of bonding. Internet access is intermittent. Hot water is intermittent. There are no shower walls or doors. Merely a spout from about head height. The roaming wild dogs are generally friendly, but many suffering from the manger other diseases. There is a bunker on our beach. And a razor wire fence but i dont think thekids have noticed it yet. We have a LCD tv in our hotel room but the glass around the light fixtures was broken long ago leaving just the jagged edges. It is a country full of similar paradoxes. Yet one thing is consistent, there is a huge love for God here.
Today I met a girl named Graies (grace). Yesterday she cried a lot. Today I loved on her a lot. She still cried a little but I was happy to hold her in my arms. She was happy to be there. Mostly :)
We are getting ready for our bonfire with the Albanians now and look forward to introducing them to smores.
Best
KJ
