Just an Update

Camp is going well; It's becoming sort of routine. Lately it's been hard to get online because there have been country-wid power outages. The power here is almost all hydroelectric, and there hasn't been a lot of rain lately, or at least that's how it's been explained to me. It tends to be that there's no power from lunch time on to dinner time, which is our main period of free time. Mostly, I've been working on a puzzle during the free time, which we actually finished yesterday.

We had a bit of controversy as a team trying to decide what we'll be doing in 2 weeks, because we we're invited to Vlore to be with Zef's church again. As a team, we didn't want to make a decision that would exclude anyone, because we want to keep the team strong together. Anyways, we had been praying about it and we decided to stay in Erseke for the rest of the camps, meaning we have this one of Jr. Highers, which is almost over, followed by Highschoolers, and then most likely the last week we'll be up in the mountains doing what I think they call the "Wilderness camp."
I know that next week we will be spending some of the week in the mountains so that we can set up for the camp up there, as well. From what I hear we're leveling the ground again, then setting up all the tents, and then we might be helping with the cooking our last week. Gjergji is here this week, and he's a bit dissapointed we won't be comng to Vlore, but I told him we'd be back in Tirane for about 3 full days before we leave.

Anyways, that's how life is right now, pretty routine now, but we're doing a good job and we're encouraged in that.

Hi Alex,

It's good to hear from you. I'm glad you are all doing well and working as a team. We're leaving for our Mexico mission trip on Saturday. It sounds like Ensenada is in the same shape. The power is off during the afternoon. They are also having a draught, so we may not get to take showers this year. Yikes!!

Love, Mom
