Back in Tirana

Well we are sitting in the airport on our way back to Tirana, after a wonderful trip state side. We regret that we have not made much effort to keep you informed on the blog while we have been over here. But we had a chance to meet with many of you, and share some wonderful fellowship with family and friends over the past few weeks. We were grateful for the opportunity to be home.

Today we had to check 6 pieces of luggage 5 of them were right at 50 pounds and one of them was over weight. However the stuff that we are bringing back is fun stuff
for the baby. Thankful we have gotten everything checked through to Tirana, and the next we meet it would be in the chaos of Albania!

Anyway, here are some pictures of our time back in the states. If you think of it you can pray for our time in Albania, we are there for the holidays and then Gretchen comes home in January and Justin comes home in early February for the baby to be born. Although we are so excited about his, our time in Albania will be short, so pray that we would maximize the time that we have together with the students, and that all of the loose ends that need to be filled on our end would be filled before we live. There will be a void when we live because there is really no one else who is working among the youth in the church.
