We met this morning and then had lunch with Bro. & Sister Mueller from Switzerland. They run the seminary and Institute program in Durres. That's about 40 minutes from here on the coast. We will be meeting with the Institute Council tomorrow evening and will decide on Oct. and Nov. activities. The Muellers came up to Tirana to help get mom and I oriented and set some agenda items for that meeting. The Mueller's have been helping run the entire program in the absence of the Monsons who went home a little early because of Sister Monson's health issues.
The above yellow apartment building is where we live. We're nearly at the top. Our bedroom widow has the air conditioner directly below the window. That's the 7th floor and going over to the right you can see our balcony with a couple of old cactus plants on its railings.
The picture on top is also of our apartment, but taken a little further back. Its almost a dirt road that leads up to it. Notice trash binds on right. So far they've been emptied every night. The sign avocat means attorney. So some where around here is a brother of the cloth.
The final picture on left just caught my eye as we were walking around Tirana today. Apparently everyone has a dish. Does that mean I can get the Mtn Network Buck?? Love to all!
