God has given us safe travel over the Altantic. We arrived in Vienna, Austria about twenty-five minutes ago and we are waiting to catch our flight to Tirana, Albania.

We left Washington at 6:30pm and arrived here at 9:30am. We have not had much sleep but (Robert didn’t sleep at all) but we are still moving. We still have our flight in to Albania to go and then a four hour van ride to Shkoder (Shkodra).

David just handed me some euros (spelling?) to pay the entrance fee into Albania. Since this is my first time in a foreign country, I am intrigued with the many different culture, languages and people that we have encountered.

As we were flying over the Swiss Alps the sky was clear and we were able to see them very clearly. A man sitting next to the window volunteered to video tape tham form me. When we were on the ground I talked to him more. He is an Albanian living in Atlanta. He comes back frequently to visit. He actually lives walking distance from Albania in Kosovo. He was thrilled that we were coming to his country and people. I believe that the Gospel had already disinguished us.

I gotta run. Continue to pray. Please email a link to this blog to anyone interested. Gotta go.

Grace.
