The Rub

Thank you to the woman who stopped me today and reminded me what is important here.

“You Americans are so different from us. You walk right past us so quickly on your way to work, always off to work, and don’t stop to talk,” she told me. I responded, “You are totally right. We always think about work, but you take time for people. We need to learn from you.”

I Can Do It!

I needed to get a key copied, and I remembered seeing a place to do them in the city not too far away from the mission center. The "HAPUR" (open) sign showed through the window, but alas, the door was locked with no one inside. I checked the hours which indicated that the shop should have been open 15 minutes before. Oh, how typically Albanian! I thought. It seemed like a waste to go back home without my key copied, since it's a bit of a walk to get to the city.
