Building a Wall

 So in the port of Durres, the ship was connected with a family with some extremely autistic children. It wasn’t safe for one of them to go outside and their home didn’t have a boundary.

So the ship decided to help this family by building a wall, collaborating with a local believer as well.

On Monday was the last day we could do this, and some work needed to be done. So I volunteered with some of my friends to help out. 

It was really wonderful to get stuck into some practical work. I had spent the week stuck in a classroom, so I was so glad to be out and about.

The family was Muslim, but they were so appreciative of the help we provided, and we were invited in to their home.

We also met an old lady who lived across the street. She was very typical of Albanians, having a form of syncretism between Christianity and Islam, but one of my friends prayed a really beautiful prayer with her and she was so grateful. I didn’t take any pictures, but rest assured, we received many kisses from her.

I am really grateful that I was able to connect to some locals. Tonight we will sail to Montenegro, so soon I will talk about that.
