One Week Down

Hey everybody!

Today marks the last day of the first camp, and it's visible by how tired we all are. This week was the youngest, so the next two weeks will be Jr. High. I'm a little curious to see what difference the age will make. The last week will be High Schoolers, but we're still a little unsure whether we'll be here for that whole week. The other possibility would be going back to Tirana to attend Emanuel Church's conference with Zef and see all of our friends their again.

It's crazy how time is here. I thought I was on top of it and then this week I suddenly lost all comprehension of it. In two messages to people the other day, I was saying that we just finished two weeks and that there were six weeks left here, but we actually just finished three weeks. I was also convinced that it was Tuesday when it was really Wednesday. I still haven't figured out if it's a good thing that I have no comprehension of time or not. I'm leaning towards not because I made myself a callendar to keep track of the days, and so apparently not even that can help me. I think that tomorrow's day off will be a great way to recover though. I didn't realize how tired I was until we were at our daily devotional and prayer time after lunch, and during the prayer I could feel myself starting to nod off. I got to take a nap during our two to five break though, so I feel better now, though a little bit groggy.

Since I just mentioned lunch, and we're getting close to dinner, I thought I'd comment on the food. They make amazing french fries at the camp. I ate three heaping servings of it today. We also have a greek salad of sorts with every meal, which consists of tomatoes, cucumbers, green bell peppers, and onions, drenched in what I think is vinegar and salt. I miss how it was when it was just the staff eating, and we could dress our own salad, but I'm still more than happy to eat fresh veggies everyday. Some of the team is starting to get sick of it, but Jordan and I are still enjoying it. The Americans that have been in Albania for longer say that eventually everybody gets sick of it. Most of the team is missing Mexican food, though the food I miss the most is spaghetti. We got something similar to it, but not quite the same. Peanut butter is also missed, though we've been informed that you can only get it in Greece and it's somewhere around eight dollars a jar.

Alright, that's about all I have to say for now, and dinner is just about here, so until next time!
