We are still here!! I had a very rough day Wednesday I was an emotional basket case!! We found out two or three weeks ago that we are expecting the 5th Wilson child to arrive in February of 2015!! So as most of you know my hormones are crazy!! We will be looking at the hospitals in the capital city of Tirana some time next week to get me scheduled with an OBGYN for the pregnancy. I have had some rough pregnancies and deliveries so I can't take any chances. We Lord willing will be looking for a vehicle next week while in Tirana as well which will make it a little easier for us. The girls are doing great with the transition, they get to feeling down every once in a while but they are so good with everything that it amazes me!! The church is going good too. These people haven't the slightest idea on how church ought to go so this calls for some training on there parts and also on us too!! We are praying that learning the language will come quickly for us it would make it so much easier for everyone. A lot of the Albanians know English but more do not!! We are looking forward to starting school in July which will keep us busy and occupied, and we will also be taking off the entire month of March for the arrival of the newest member!! Please be in much prayer for a few things:
1. Vehicle search (We only want the Lord's will)
2. Furnishings for apartment (couch, wardrobes, table, small kitchen appliances, etc.)
3. Wisdom in hospital choice
4. Saranda Baptist Church
5. Protection
Thank you all,
In Christ,
Candi Wilson

Patience!!
Hello!!
I am sitting at our dining table in our new apartment!! Unfortunately the excitement has worn off and realization has set in that I am 5,000 miles away from what I use to call home!! I have cried, feared, and wanted to run back to the US!! But I can't runaway!! I have a husband, three girls, and a church that is depending on me!! So I must stay!! I sit here this morning remembering the little girl we lost in 2009, Rebekah-Ann Patience. She was with us for two short weeks and then the Lord called her home because she had finished her course, she fought a good fight, and she had kept the faith (2 Timothy 4:7)!! We couldn't decide if we wanted to use Ann or Patience as her middle name so we chose both. We learned so much during that time. I was put in the hospital at 20 weeks and 5 days of gestation because my water had broke! It was a very trying time because I had to lay for those three weeks flat on my back. I couldn't sit up, I couldn't walk, I couldn't take a shower, I couldn't go to the bathroom!! So you can probably imagine the frustration I felt!! I had a 3 and 2 year old girls at home that needed a mom but I couldn't!! Well, I feel I am in that same situation once again. I sit here trying to be patient while I want to run home but I can't move!! The Lord God Almighty has brought me here and He'll be the one to keep me here!! I am doing pretty good today and I am hoping to decorate the apartment to make it feel like home!! These three girls that the Lord has blessed me with are most of the time my joy, reason, and happiness to continue on!! They come and love on me and tell me everything is okay even when they don't understand what mommy is going through!!
