Turkish Wedding

I had the privilege of attending a wedding with some friends. It was really fun! They like to dance! The bride and groom wore ribbons around their neck and people came by and clipped money onto them! I like that idea ;)


Prilep




Melanie and I used on of our free days to visit our friends at their new home, Prilep. It was really good to see them, just to hang out with them. They just finished language school in Skopje and are now starting something new in Prilep. I can't wait to see how God uses them in this city. Tobacco is huge in the city. I took a pic of just a small sampling of the dried tobacco. And the other picture is their dog, Zlatka (goldie)

Game Night!




What a fun night! We have some neighbors who love to sit outside the coffee house on a nice night and play cards. They're funny old men and they have lots of friends who walk past our coffee house. It's kinda cool cause their friends come and sit with them for a little while and sometimes drink coffee too. So they're a help to making us seem not so strange to Macedonians. Also, there's a great picture of Igor and Brian playing chess. Igor is our "Man of Peace". He has introduced us to soo many new people! Plus he speaks English like and old British lady :) And then there's little Maria. She is always hanging out with us. Her mom, Yordeh, owns a botique next door so she's always around and she is such a little sweetheart.

Beautiful Ohrid, Wonderful friends


Last weekend I made a new friend, Irena. She is a believer from Bitola who was on vacation in Ohrid. We became good friends and I was really blessed by her. We had pizza, drank coffee, went to the beach, and hiked up to Plaosnik(the excavation sight where you can also get a great view of the lake). What a good weekend!
