3rd DECEMBER 2009 Feast of St. Frances Xavier. MINISTRY BEGINS. CHANGE 'SCHOOLS'?
We had time to reflect a little on our second meeting with the women that took place in our house yesterday evening. The group came together slowly - I was reminded of a few similar meetings in Belfast! We felt the content was most worthwhile and even included ongoing plans. Those that attended the little group are most enthusiastic so we hope their optimism will continue.
This morning as I left the house, I greeted a neighbour living opposite. He quickly realized my greeting had exhausted my Albanian language skills! I told him I was en route to Alliance Francais to learn Albanian. Hearing my Irish accent, Holger, of German extraction, surprised me by saying -"There's an Albanian Class through English for new missionaries where I work". He is employed at the Evangelical Protestant Kennedy Centre. I only heard in the past week that there is such a centre here. Holger is making further enquiries and I'll hear details tomorrow. I had been questioning the wisdom of continuing to study Shqip through French so maybe another door will open. Watch this space!
