The firsts in Saranda!!

We have made the final move to Saranda, Albania this week and I am super excited!! :) We have looked at an apartment and will look at more tomorrow which is always exciting!! :) We are also in the process of buying a vehicle for our transportation purposes. Tomorrow the men who helped us make the move with 12 pieces of checked baggage, 8 carry-ons, 3 children, three flight changes, and the 6 hour drive to Saranda will be headed home! We will miss them terribly! One was our Pastor, the other my brother-in-law, and a brother in Christ from our home church. They have sacrificed a lot for this move by leaving their families at home to help us tremendously and we do not in any way take what they have done lightly!! My three girls love the food very much especially since Albania has pizza and spaghetti!! We will be having our first prayer meeting tomorrow night at the church but this had already been established before we got here which is a huge blessing and then Sunday morning at 9am our time will be the first service as my husband being the Pastor!! But all is going great and we can't wait to see what the Lord God Almighty has in store for His people!!

Anxious and excited!!

We have four days til we leave and I'm excited but nervous!! My biggest thing is right now is all the what ifs in life!! Am I going to make a good Pastors wife, will I quit, how will my children handle this, what about my family here in the US? These are just a few questions but I know my Savior Jesus Christ will take care of it all and that I have nothing to fear!! But what about my weak times? Will I go to my Help? I know that I do not know what to expect but I want to finish my course!! I only have one life to live for Jesus!! He gave it all for me so why should my life be easy? Like my father in law says " we have one life and what we do not do for Christ will pass but what we do for Him will last!!" Not quoted exactly correct!!

Hello!!

We are 7 days from our departure date to Albania! I am super excited but also nervous! I am trying to pack five peoples lives into eight suitcases, so needless to say I am a little stressed!! My profile picture is of me and husband in Corfu, Greece back on our eleven day trip to Albania in September 2013. It was my first time out of the country and I was so excited!! There were nine of us on the trip!! The Lord did so much for us on that trip. We found a place to live, and the church we are going to Pastor was so excited to see us!! It was a true blessing to go and I am so glad the Lord did that for me!! Well the kids are getting in the bed and the hubby had a good day with our Pastor and the other preachers golfing today!! We covet your prayers!!
