Work and Travel

This week I had an extra, unexpected two days to rest and work on things in Peja. Thank you to those who lifted up my need to rest. He answered :0) in unexpected ways by giving me these days.
Wednesday and Thursday I worked up at camp on some work and clean-up projects. Friday and Saturday I accompanied Jenelle on a trip to Pristina and Macedonia to pick up some paperwork and go to an appointment. We also had a chance to a bit of touring!
Now we are back and I have a chance to do laundry, respond to e-mails, unpack, and update my blog. Tomorrow, I get the chance to got to international fellowship, how much I have missed being with my brother and sisters for the past few weeks. It's such a blessing to meet together!



We spent several hours moving this old army cooker out of the way of where the new septic lines will be put. Also, we've been moving ten wheel barrels of dirt a day to fill in dirt for the septic lines behind the Blessing House.

We started laying blocks for the first walls on the second floor!



Brandon and Keith working on plastering the blocks in!

Our overnight trip to Macedonia was refreshing. We had a chance to meet up with some other workers, tour the city, and enjoy time together. This week we have a group up at camp. They brought a different group here in June. I look forward to seeing the leaders again and serving with them.
