The sun is rising over the mountain just east of our flat.

This is a verb chart. This is how many ways we have to learn one single
verb! And guess what... we just found out today that we have to add
another column we haven't learned yet. Please, pray for us!
Sometimes it is difficult and tiring trying to study and fit so much
in our heads when our study times are very limited with the girls.

I miss green grass and playgrounds.

We thought this was interesting. It's a real, dead wolf hanging on a
building! We asked someone why it was there and they said probably
to show off that they killed a wolf. Hmmm....

We had a birthday party for our Australian missionary friend, Jess.
There obviously isn't a Party City here, so we had to get creative
with the decorations.

Uhoh. We ran out of water during the party. We found out
all of Lushnje ran out and didn't receive water that morning.
It sure was fun washing all those dishes without running water. : )
We didn't have water the next night either, then we went a couple
days without water. Man, are we grateful for running water!!
I would definitely say the worst effect from this is
the inability to flush the toilet.

Skype time with Micah and the Tumas fam. It's unbelievable -
this technology these days. We still feel far away
from our family and friends in the States, but it so
amazing to see their faces once in a while.
