And the journey begins

Emily and I spent the day with the Grace team over here now and most of the campers today at the pool. Once we landed in Pristina Berat and our awesome friend from Grace Kyle Sklenar were there to pick us up and help us carry our heavy luggage. Berat took us to our apartment to drop off our bags and we went straight to the pool! It was really great getting to see our old friends from last year and meeting some new friends. All the Americans then went to this really cool hotel/pool/restaurant in Suhareke called Solid to celebrate two of our team members' birthday! It was fun, but to be honest Emily and I were just too exhausted from jetlag to really know what was going on around us. We spent a little tome tonight unpacking, but we plan on dedicating most of tomorrow to cleaning the apartment (we seriously need some Febreeze...) and getting ourselves organized in our new home! We've also made a great new friend, an Irish girl, who will be working with us! She has the greatest accent ever. We are really excited about getting settled in and will be sending the Grace team home on Monday, so we should be getting down some finalized plans about our time here after that! I miss everyone a lot, but I know that this will be such a great experience and I cannot wait to see what the Lord has in store.

P.S. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our other roomie Sam on July 2nd!!!!!

  1. i am so glad that you and emily are having a great time sissy! i hope that your apartment cleaning helped get rid of its yucky smell. but you know, reid from criminal minds says that smell is the sense that adapts the fastest! so maybe you'll just get used to it! haha i love you pris!
