Vlore

Hello Friends. We have just returned from Vlore (a beautiful coastal city on the Ionian sea). We were there Thursday and Friday. We met with a college group from Vlore. These students are closer to my age so it was nice to meet them. I actually spoke to the group which was about 30 people in all. I talked about life complexity and our relationship with God, throwing some personal experience in. I was encouraged and delighted to speak to them.
Some youth from Tirana came along to Vlore. It has been great to talk and play with them. I'm able to practice my Albanian with them. They seem to get a kick out it. Today they were teaching various slang, like "I will pay for the bill" (when really I won't). The youth and college students here are so talented. They work so hard, but they also like to have fun. I'm glad to be apart of it.
On Monday morning we head to camp in Eurseka. It is about a 5 hour drive, one I'm told we won't forget. We're also told that this camp is great. People down here know about it. In fact, some of the college students we met in Vlore are going to be working at our camp.
Well I need to get to dinner now. It is about 9pm here. Dinners tend to be later in the evening.
