Today I rented an indoor soccer field for Mariada’s soccer team “The Door”. The girls played the dad’s; it was a lot of fun. The dad’s won. But still the girls had a really good time. That took up all of our morning and about one o’clock we received a phone call from Suela, a girl that I have made friends with from church. She is off work until after the New Year so we had lunch. She is such a nice girl and her story cracks me up. About 7-8 years ago she got a travel visa to the US so she went to Florida, when arriving into the country, the told her she could stay up to six months (she had planned on three) so when the three came up she was going to come back to Albania. But she says God told her to stay, she was upset because she knew that she would lose her job back here, but when God tells you, you follow. So she stayed the extra three months, and in that time she meant and fell in love with her now husband. Only thing was that he is from El Salvador! He too was in the USA on a visa, but he got a green card and is still living in Miami! She is hoping to get her visa next month so she is planning on moving for good to the US in February.
So tomorrow my Mom gets here!!! Yeah! Can’t wait for that! Then we have a few more going away parties and then we plan to leave for Saranda. Saranda is all the way south almost to Greece; we are all really looking forward to that. Mariada has never been to that part of the country and I am looking forward to being on the water. Hope it doesn’t rain as much as it does up here in Shkoder!

The dad's are done!
