Bible School student update
You guys may remember reading Bisere's testimony a while back. If not check it out here. I just wanted to send a quick update on how things are going for her at the Bible School in Erseka.
Just by looking at the pictures of her I can see God is working in her precious heart. It was not that long ago that she used to run from the camera and it brings tears to my eyes to see her big beautiful smile (so rarely seen before) in almost every picture.
This is the little blip that the staff wrote about Bisere in their last update.
Also as you can see Ymrje is in these pictures because she was blessed with a staff position serving at the Bible school this semester. Being the servant that she is I know she is a blessing to them as well. Please keep her in your prayers regarding her time serving there, her family and her future. I am so excited for our believers to be meeting other believers from all over, being discipled by some awesome family in Christ and of course growing closer to Jesus through the study of His word! Some people states side have sponsored the students 1st semesters and if they will continue to the next semester they will most likely work off the tuition costs serving there this summer. However they will need personal needs and traveling costs fr the spring semester. (appox $100 each) If anyone feels so led to help either of them with this you may send a check to CCM (more info here) and just let me know via email or in the paypal memo so it goes to the right student.
Thank you so much for praying for these people who are most dear to my heart. Thank you for investing in their lives through prayer finances and supporting me to return to them, hopefully soon! More on my stuff later but in short I had my tonsillectomy Tuesday. All is well despite some pain, as to be expected. I am being treated like royalty at the Carr's house even now, with room service by lovely Lynn where I write this from bed in their sparest of spare guest room's.

"Bisere is from Kosovo. This young lady is a real delight. Her sister was a student here last year and now it’s her turn. Far different from her sister, Bisera has a quiet, thoughtful way…but she’s not shy about expressing her faith and love for Jesus. Her story is a hard one as she lived thru the war and saw so much tragedy, even in her own family. Her strength is her faith and we would ask you to pray for her as she grows deeper and stronger."-Bob & Linda Osborne (Houseparents Torchbearers Bible School Erseka, Albanian)We also have another student Merkur from our church who is attending this year. Here he is in these pictures below He is Calvin's (Harvey's son) brother in law, Xhemile's (who recently had a baby) and Burim's brother (remember praying for Burim's neck surgery a few years back?). He is recently graduated from high school, a really neat young man. He has put up with me calling him "Wednesday" for years now patiently (the literal translation of his name).
