ACTION-PACKED AND VERY IRISH MOMENT!

SATURDAY 23 JUNE 2012 ACTION-PACKED AND VERY IRISH MOMENT!! These past few days have been action-packed - on Thursday, two men came and dismantled furniture in Sr. Amira's room. Mirjam's room was already completed! Then today, everything was taken to Tirana. At least, they left here, but now, more than twelve hours later, word has come they have just arrived!! On Thursday evening, I went to Tirana to meet an Irish girl who moved to Durres - a city near Tirana - some months ago. Hearing that Karen was temporarily in Tirana, I took the opportunity and we spent yesterday together. During the early part of our day, we had her 9 month little girl and, later in the day, we were joined by her three year old son, when he finished at Montesorri school. Hopefully, i will post a photo or two soon! A bonus to all this was an unexpected meeting with Mirjam at 6.55a.m. Mass, yesterday morning. I was delighted, and invited her to come to breakfast, so we had a few hours together and decided to repeat it all this morning! I was glad to catch up on all their news. She and Amira are busy. Apart from moving house, Amira is away this week in camp with children from the villages. Next week, Mirjam heads off with a group of teenagers and the Franciscans. They go to the Albanian "Alps" - a mountain area in the very north of the country, where the Friar served for some years. I hear it is close to Montenegro, so it is new to Mirjam. All this is why I say the days are action-packed!! Of course, I could add that, in between, there are Euro Football moments, and Mirjam was very happy for Germany this morning! Tomorrow, we expect to have our Bishop for Mass, as there is Confirmation later in the day in Bilisht. Enjoy the weekend and have a blessed week ahead!
