Apartment search at an end???

We think we have finally found a place to live! It's only been a week that we've been here in Tirana. And honestly, we didn't expect to find a place this soon in the grand scheme of things. But we've seen almost 40 places now, and just today...the very last place we looked at looks very promising. We've only met the caretaker, so we are meeting the owner tomorrow and hopefully will do a bit of negotiating for rent. But we really love the place and it's in an ideal spot for youth ministry! Pray with us that it works out!! The owners are of the majority religion here (if you don't know, look it up :) ) but live outside the borders of Albania, so we don't know what kind of relationship might ensue. But we know God is working in and through all these decisions that we're making. Pray for wisdom and sensitivity to the Spirit. We've love to move in a couple weeks into our own place! Our host family has been more than generous and hospitable, and it will be sad to move out in that sense. We've had a ton of fun with their kids.

It's been very cold here (getting down to about 20 degrees F at night), and that heat has not been working today, so here I am making a fire :)
