Week 1 – Saturday

hello again all,

just a quick note from a few of us. no pictures again unfortunately!!

well, english school is finished as of yesterday. we all had a lot of fun teaching, and each have funny stories to tell of the children’s misunderstandings!

the last holiday club was this morning, and we had a lot of fun. i -rachel- especially enjoyed it, as i have missed out on it every other day because of teaching extra english classes. in fier, our drama was on the risky side, as ben covered the ascension! {think ladders against walls, and sheets to cover!} i gave my testimony, and we decorated squares of material in the craft to be made into a banner.

we are all looking forward to the international evening at 5:30 today, especially the sampling of various snacks like David’s welsh cakes!! we will be sad to see ben andrews leave later today, but will be praying that he has a safe journey home.

please pray for insect bites- although most people have escaped pretty much unharmed and not bothered by them including hazel! i am covered to the point where it looks a bit like i have measles! even on my face! anje is another victim.

we were sad to find a bag of 3 abandoned kittens in the rubbish pile near will’s house, and particularly our first timers in albania are struggling with the way albanians treat animals.

The boys, Anje and Bex (but not Gareth! because of a previous knee injury!) enjoyed another game of calcetto football on thursday night. some of us went to watch, and i was surprised to see Renato (a boy who had previously been to holiday club and english school, but who hasnt been this year) was there. i sent a note home with him to give to his sisters Bruna and Margarita (this is the family who ’stole’ me and Graham and took us out to dinner two years ago!) and through this we have been able to meet up with this family again which is lovely.

we were praying for the plumbing at david and mary morgan’s house, and are happy to hear that things are ok now!

preparations for sports camp is next on the cards!!
