Hi From Kosova!

“He who called you is faithful, who also will do it.”
1 Thessalonians 5:24

Hi Everyone!

We are so blessed to be here! The trip over went well and we are just about over our jet lag :o) We were immediately accepted into the fellowship here as family and already love the body of believers here in Malisheve. Kim and I were just commenting yesterday how we feel like it has been longer than 5 days.

Just to back track a bit here is a picture of the us with Randy & Lycia Harvey. They are the missionaries who are on furlough in the US that we are house-sitting for here in Malisheve. Also with us is Shpetim (Shpit-eem :Salvation) who was in the US at a student conference but is now back here with us. He is one of the main guys here and leads worship and runs the English School. We are exceedingly blessed by him and Xhemile (jim-eel-ay) his Fiancé who lives with us in the apartment.

Here are some more pictures for your enjoyment :o)

Here is the view out our living room balcony. The weather here has been warmer than that in California! In the 50's and blue skies! Wow!

We are grateful.

Kim and Xhemile in our living room. We have cushions instead of couches and eat all our meals in here.

Just like Jesus right? :o)

Left to Right- Hanna, Emria & Abnora. Xhemile & Abnora (sisters), Sheria & Emria (Cousins) all live with us. The three younger girls are in High School from 1:30-7pm then we all have dinner together (very much on Kosova time here!). Starting next week we will be having devotions during breakfast with the girls. You can be praying for us for that and that we figure out more meals! The food here is different for us :o)


Burim and Sam fixing the dryer by faith! They had 2 wires and 6 choices and no idea what they were doing. We are happy that they didn't blow themselves up! That night when we were sharing testimonies of God's faithfulness this was a highlight! Ha! Such is life here in Kosova...we walk by faith because we have no other choice!

Kim and I each teach an English class Mon-Wed and are LOVING it! Kim has kids and I have high school/college age! How fitting is that! God is good! We also help Shpetime with a more advanced class.
There really is just too much to tell, God grace is showered on us. We are so privileged to be serving here and can tell that we are being prayed for. Stay tuned for pictures from around Kosova and our English classes. Please pray for us tomorrow as we will be driving for the first time tomorrow to attend and other church in the big city of Prishtina. Thank you all so much for your prayers and support.
