Long time no see

Gosh, it has been a long time since I posted anything here. We have been back to the US , traveled over 11,000 miles there (8500 by minivan), slept in over a dozen different beds, eaten seemingly endless amounts of fast food (with predictable results to my waistline), spoken in about 11 churches, seen old friends, made new friends, bought things, sold things, caught fish, told tales, heard tales, laughed, cried, and a few other things since my last post.

We are now back in Albania, having returned in late September, and things are humming along nicely. We jumped right back into a full schedule and only now are things starting to slow down a little bit. Or maybe it is just that we are getting used to the schedule. I am never really sure. This week we will be hosting a couple from our mission agency, Jack and Carol Rothenflue. Each year CTEN sends someone over for a pastoral care visit to make sure we are doing okay. It is one of the things that we really like about CTEN. We are looking forward to being able to share with the Rothenflues this place and these people that we have come to love so much.

Keep us in your prayers as we are still raising money to replace our vehicle. Praise the Lord, we were able to sell the old one just before we left for the US in June, but now we are on foot. It is not too bad since pretty much everything we need is within easy walking distance, but there is much more I could be doing in my ministry if we had a vehicle.

I'll try to post again soon - some cool things have happened as a result of the Walk of Hope and I need to tell you about them.
