Howdy Ya’ll! 

So sorry that I didnt post the last couple of days. It has been crazy busy here on this side of the world. 

Before I type anything else I just want to thank everyone who has supported us throughout this trip, both financially and spiritually. We literally could not have done this trip without the support of others, so thank you so much. 

Yesterday was Sunday (I think…time is running together). We spent the morning doing some trip reflection and discussion. We always want to acknowledge things that went well, and things that could have gone better. Sunday morning was that time. Then, Sunday afternoon we finished up packing and got ready for church. 

Church was awesome. It was so fun to get to be around the Albanian people that we have come to love so much. They were such a blessing to us. So, thank you Pastor Shaban, Tahnie, Niku, Desi, and Jorida. 

During church we had our students lead the worship, and also speak. Then, at the very end we got a chance to pray a blessing over each and every person that wanted it. They then prayed a prayer of blessing over us. It was an incredibly sweet time. 

Monday morning started early…really early. We had to have our luggage downstairs and ready to be loaded in the vans at 4am. We got loaded, headed to the airport, and flew from Tirana to Rome.  

We got to Rome, and got to get on a hop on/hop off tour bus. We drove all around the city and saw so many things. This city is amazing. The pictures we have all taken should tell it all. 

Please pray for good rest for us tonight. I think we are all pretty tired from the last couple of days, so your prayers are appreciated. We miss all of you and cant wait to see you! (Especially you Sarah and Berkley!)  

Blessings on all of you!
