One long and well overdue sleep (for some) later the team woke to a pleasantly warm and sunny day, looking forward to a days adventure around Prishtina. After an amazing breakfast treat from Primrose of (gob smackingly) amazing pancakes, we began with preparations for the kids club that begins tomorrow from 4-6pm and runs till Saturday. We were also graced with the presence of some of the churches youth who helped in sorting out songs and helping with pronunciation of the memory verse in Albanian (which was/is in great need of help with)
With all the "ground work" done for the club we were taken on a walk to find the bus stop and learn the bus routines but mainly it was to go and feed the team!?
The team were clearly buzzing with all the excitement over the kids club and some of the ideas that were brought up were mind blowing - all i can say is that you would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that conversation!!! Food went down a treat, unfortunately that cant be said for us all as Dan can be testament to with a little added extra given to him with his portion of French flies (... I mean) Fries.
Once we came across that we were quick to get to the church to see what we were working with as the team have never seen the church just heard the stories. On our journey by foot to the church, we had come to see the amount of pressure we were under, by the adverts posted, to make this trip a sporting success as you can read:
Professional football coaches from Ireland & America
We introduced the team to close friends of Primrose, Dan, Kazza + Lucy who showed great hospitality and kindness (and patience to put up with us all.) We left with a spring in our step + a rumble in our tummy which was subsequently filled by more fine dining from Primrose.
The club+other activities begin tomorrow so please pray for smooth sailing with transport + child/team safety throughout the day and also the week ahead + be thankful for the work that is being done in Prishtina and later with Kamenica.
More to come tomorrow from celebrity guest bloggers, but for now - Mirëbrema!!
