Off to Ibe in the mountains today. It is still humid, so different from the coast. Please pray that we have enough fabric and quilting tools today. Also, pray that the women are receptive and quilting is attractive to the ladies there. We will take Genta, at least, and she will bring a sewing machine. We're adapting the format, I hope, to be a little more efficient.

Bill is having problems sleeping - I'm concerned for him today. Otherwise, we are doing OK with food, etc. We (I) are having a wonderful time learning about this country and its people - our brothers and sisters are so ardent for our Abba. It is encouraging to watch and help them with it.

We have met a missionary from Shkroder (I'm not sure of the spelling) which is in the north. She will take the idea of quilting to the mountain villages in the north. Since during the winters, the women are often home alone and looking for things to do, this may be a good tool to introduce the Gospel for the women there. I'm excited. Hopefully, I'll get a picture of her and include it with our next post as we are with her now.

Please remember us today as we go to the village of Ibe. This is really a step of faith as we are going with a woman who is a friend of Edi; we don't know if she speaks English, or how many women there will be, or what the conditions are. Hopefully, will make another post this evening.

We are remembering you in our prayers.
