As we mentioned in our previous post, we are in America this summer for our Home Ministry Assignment. The last month in Albania has been a great time as we have finished the chapter on our first two years and to see the fruit of our labor.
- We finished language lessons at the end of May. It is amazing to see the progress we have made and yet still so frustrating to not be able to communicate all the ideas in our heads! Please pray that our time in the US would be restful for the mind! They say that a significant language break at this point in our study will actually allow all the information to “settle” (come on what does that really mean?) and we will come back and find we are actually able to communicate more clearly than when we left! We can’t wait!
- We attended the graduation ceremony for students at the HS Homeschooling Co-op for Missionary Kids. Robert spoke at the ceremony and shared a few words of wisdom for the graduates. There are five students from our ministry graduating this year. Daniel and Josiah will be heading back to the States this month in preparation for college. Erin is staying in Albania to continue doing ministry before going to college in another year. Elda and Ola are Albanians and will be staying here to serve their families and community over the summer before starting college next year, one in Tirana, the other maybe in Italy. We also had a special celebration for all of them at The Loft, the youth center we rent, and it was great and we started some fun traditions as we send our students out!
God has been amazingly faithful over these last 2 years and we feel so blessed to continue to be a part of His movement in Albania! We’ll be posting the Wheelis Summer Tour and when we’ll be in your area in the next couple of days.
