Two weeks since we left the USA. Our home, for now, is in a quite remote village about 2 hours from the capital city of Tirana. Our village is called Gorre, and can be located using Google earth or by simply googling Gorre, Albania. Though we are quite safe and well, we are definitely being stretched by the cultural adjustments. One example is we do have running water, though not potable, so we use bottled water for all consumption. People that we've met are quite cordial and helpful. Our biggest concern, for now, is the language barrier. Today, we start language lessons with a young lady that lives nearby and is a part of our little church. We miss "home" very much and all our friends and family but the Lord is with us and we will soon close the gap of cultural disconnect.
We'd love to hear from you. Prayers and words of encouragement are so much appreciated. If you would like to communicate directly to us, please use our email address, since this blog site is not set up for back & forth messaging.
Hopefully, we will add some photos in the near future.
