For the past couple of days Emily and I have spent a lot of time with the Grace team that is still here. It has been such a blessing to have them help us get settled in and help us make our apartment really feel like a home. Some of the moms on the trip spent their whole day today doing an "extreme makeover" while some of the team kept me and Emily busy around Suhareke. It was so nice for them to bless us that way, and we are so thankful. We can't wait for Sam to get here and for us to start inviting some students over to hang out with in our new home! Our friends on the Grace team have been wonderful and helpful, so glad we got to hang out with them and hear their stories! They wrote out names of students they met and spoke to so that Emily, Sam and I have a head start on who we need to meet and where our conversations need to begin. They are going back to Atlanta on Monday and we are definitely going to miss having more Americans around.
However we are so anxious to start meeting with the students here and getting settled into being regular faces around Suhareke! We already have plans to see some of our friends from last year, and we found a new friend who lived in America for a few years and has agreed to be our Albanian tutor. He is so much fun and became a believer during the camp that the Grace team held, so we are very excited to spend more time with him!
Registration for the English classes we will be teaching starts on June 25th, so pray that lots of kids sign up and are excited to learn whatever we can teach them. Our days will start being a little busier, but that just means I will have more stories to tell. I miss everyone back home very much!
