Well this time it was sour cream!!!

Hi,

Another culture story to add to my collection!

it is quite similar to the beer story! I was in the grocery store ( a different one!!!) and 1 things first:

1. I did not have my bag on--- I learned my lesson the first time!

Being the crazy person that I was just decided to not get a cart and I had some things in my hand. All of a sudden I hear splat! There goes the sour cream and it is all over the store floor! I am thinking not again!

Great... I am getting to be known around here as the clumsy american! Well now everytime I walk in there I think, " Well there is the sour cream american girl!!!"

Just to let you know, I ended having to paying for it too!:)

Oh well, another thing to put in my stack of stories:)

Thought this would make some of you laugh :)-

True Healer

Greetings from Albania!

I know lots of you have been anxious to hear how my voice is doing, and as of this point it is still out of commission. You can continue to pray for this.

God is so good though, because he is teaching me so much through this situation. I am learning that God still hears us even when we cannot speak. ( whether through worship, prayer, etc.). He knows our hearts. I went to the doctor on Wed, and said that I may only talk 50 % when my voice returns.

Yesterday, my voice returned. I tried to rest it most of the day, and then today had a class to teach. I spoke 5 min and my voice was out of commission! I am thankful that God is using this in my life somehow or another even though I cannnot see it right now, and I am glad that HE has the BIGGER PICTURE in mind!!!!!

Please pray:

1. God continues to give me peace and joy during this time of being voiceless. I ready for this sickness to leave, and I know that He is the ultimate healer!

2. Pray for complete healing for my voice, and that it does not return. Pray that I will know when and when not to talk to preserve my voice!

A big challenge for me being in Tirana has been sickness. I have been sick every month here. Please pray that I can April, May and June with no sickness!!!!

Looking Forward to see how HE WILL WORK, and trusting HIM as the being the ULTIMATE HEALER!!!

Trusting in His Word,

Ashley
