So, when Cydil is in grad school... blogging suffers. For the sake of our family journal, here's a few highlights from January. Apparently, we had one major highlight -- the visit of Nathan's brother, Steve! After a year of limited visitors, what a joy to entertain again! But first...
Putting my English teaching learning to use with some students at VT. I now teach a small English class on Wednesday mornings.
Nathan's brother and our friends Cole and Joe came to provide valuable training in using sports in character development and discipleship. Above, they reconnected with some of our dear neighbors they knew from previous visits.
They did training with a team who traveled down from Kosovo (above). We also traveled to Korça!
Our hotel happened to be situated right next door to the first school for girls in Albania!
Watch Reni taking part in all the drills and training.
The first night in Korca, the kids and I explored the pedestrian street which had an ice rink set up at one end. We couldn't convince Reni to don skates, but in his defense, changing shoes isn't quick and easy.
We also learned that Korca is called the Paris of Albania! It certainly has a more European feel than most places in the country and beautiful lights in the winter!
Ellie and I at Lake Ohrid outside of Pogradec on the way to Korca...
