Birthday and Small Group

Hi everyone!

It's been, as always, a busy couple of weeks again, but it has also been a good couple of weeks. My birthday was the 27th and I managed to not miss home until the evening, which I missed since I couldn't really talk to anyone at home. I did, however, manage to get a cell phone from the church and call America so I could talk to family the next day. So, now if there's something urgent and anyone really needs to get a hold of me, they can get my cellphone number from my mother. This week was also my first small group meeting and it went very well. I had seven girls besides myself and Valbona and we started studying women of the Bible, with, of course, Eve. We had good discussion time, but didn't finish, so we will finish up Eve this next week and move on to Sarah in two weeks. I was so glad to be leading a small group again. I think that is really where I work best, and what I enjoy the most. So, continue to pray for the small group: that the girls will keep coming, that the girls will take home meaningful insights about scripture, and that the girls will have good fellowship while they're here. Pray also for my neck and back--I don't have a chiropractor here and sometimes that becomes difficult because I get dizzy spells and my back gets sore.
Thanks, as always, for reading and praying and giving!
