>((Just a side note....We have a business casual dress code for when we are on campus from 8a-8p so this is just normal dress for us))This week we are starting to learn the basics of speaking Albanian. Our homework is to be comfortable interacting using the 19 basic phrases and words they've given us. Also, we just found out that a grant came through from the Koch Foundation which gives each person a base of $1,000. God is so good, even in times of economic down turn. Keep praying that the prayer support comes in to match the financial support--only prayer and God's grace will help us bypass the corruption so integrated in the Albanian institutions.
