Long time no... blog? Let's see, since my last blog, I've...
watched a bunch of people jump in a freezing cold lake to race to the cross. Crazy Orthodox tradition.

seen some more of this beautiful country! One weekend, we had two volunteers in town who will be bringing a team in July. They did an on-site visit to see where they'll be working. It was an amazing weekend! We went to Ohrid, where two very dear friends live, and then we met a Roma pastor in Bitola named Tefig. Meeting Tefig and his family was one of the biggest blessings I've ever had! They are such an amazing picture of what God can do in the Roma people. Tefig is hard-working and well educated, and he really has a heart for God and seeing the Roma in Bitola come to know Him.
