Newsletter September 2004
This has been an exciting month with a new location, new
students, and a new school year. We
were happy and relieved to move from our first location. We settled in and had
our first students Friday, September 17. It
took a little time to orient our students to the new location and phone number
(our former landlord had disconnected our phone line one week before we moved),
but after about a week we were totally settled and our students knew where to
go. When all was said and done, Dashi's family still wanted to still have a
relationship with us, and his wife Dafina has given Allison an open invitation
to meet and have coffee.
We are blessed to have new students walk in the door. Many
of them are relatives and friends of our current students. As we learned from
working in Durrės, word
of mouth is the best form of publicity. Our signs and new location have also
brought inquiries.
The summer ended and a new school year began. This means
that we had to reorganize our schedules. All three of us are now very busy in
the afternoon. We were still able to keep some of our students in the morning
who were elementary school teachers because many of the elementary schools begin
in the afternoon and finish in the evening. We also teach some stay-at-home
mothers and unemployed women, all of which will continue to come in the morning.
Thank you for your thoughts and prayers this month. This
was a month of new beginnings. It has been an exciting and somewhat stressful
month. God has taken good care of us. Please pray for the growth of the church
in Pogradec, both in number and in
faith.

information is:
New telephone number is: 355-83-246-26
