Half Way Until Christmas!

I am already half way until my Christmas Visit! I get so excited thinking about coming home and seeing everyone and especially my Niece and Nephew! Only 5 more days!! I am going to be up all night Monday waiting by the computer! I am going to be starting to get my residence visa any day now because I only have one more month, unless I leave the country again to go to Greece (you get one more month every time you leave the country). In the middle of October I will be going to Italy for about 4 days to visit my friend Emily who is going to school there. It will be really nice to have that break! And super exciting to see her! Pray that I can find cheap airfare and that the planning we need to do gets done. I can't believe that I have already been here half way til my Christmas visit! In some ways it seems very short and in others long. I think this second half will go a lot faster now that I am settled in and I have my Italy adventure in October. Please pray for my work in the Street Kids Center, its very challenging not being able to communicate to the kids. Also pray that I continue to make friends, there are a few people that I think I would be friends with if I could speak Albanian or them English. On that note please pray for my Albanian, I am surprised at what I can understand but I am having a hard time speaking. David is starting school and I have been helping Isaac with his school lately, so that he stays focused. I still have not heard anything about where I will be living but I will keep you posted. I am going to try to go out one of these days to get some pictures of Korca and some of the places I go so all of you can see. Love you all, Miss you! Heidi
