19TH AUGUST 2010 FEAST OF ST.JOHN EUDES. BELFAST, KORCE AND MACEDONIA!
All is well, thank God, since I left Belfast. In Tirana, two messages awaited me from the Albanians that were in New York. I did not accept the invitation to take coffee as I was anxious to get on the road early. I postponed the coffee until a time I'll be in Tirana for a meeting. As a result, I got here by 1.00p.m. Lalini and Mirjam had a great welcome for me and seemed especially pleased about my arm being back to normal. We had a great sharing at our evening meal of the highlights while I was in Ireland and New York. I was also glad to hear of developments in the ministry here and of plans to bring the young people to Orhid next month.
Today, we went to Macedonia for a planned commnity session with Fr. S. Kusan,S.J. As we were on the road this morning, Bishop Hil Kabashi telephoned to wish us a happy day for St. John Eudes. Much later in the day, we were really disappointed to hear that Fr. Kusan is changed and he will leave Orhid on the 1 October. Father will do similar work to Orhid, but in Sarijevo! That is a very long way from here! He will retain some ministry work in Bulgaria and so may be able to connect with us, but only rarely. We regret his change very much as he was doing trojan work in Orhid.
Amira has already left for Lebanon and Mirjam will leave for Germany on Monday next. Lalini and I will be here. I hope to take up the Shqip classes again on Monday next and get the CEDAW report completed before life gets too busy!
Have a great weekend!
