Mr. Ben Veazey sent us a report and pictures of a completed building renovation in Albania, as well as plans for renovation and new construction during the first half of 2010.

Dear Friends and Family,

We sure have enjoyed this Christmas and New Years Season being home with family and friends. We have rested, eaten, and enjoyed fellowship with our family and friends. It's been good to attend services at our home church and spend some time fellowshipping with our church family. But 2010 is loading up fast. Although some of the things we were hoping to start in January have been put on hold because of funding, we're still moving along with some repair and painting projects in Guatemala with a couple of groups. I will be leading a group from Victoria, B.C. in February and a painting group from Pensacola, Fl. in March. We know that the months of April and May are conference months and we plan on attending these to help raise some of our personal support for another year. We would like to say here, THANKS, to all of you who support us with your prayers and finances. Without you, it would be impossible to travel and do the work that we do. We certainly do not take lightly the blessings the Lord has given us to do this work. We know in our hearts this is the will of God in our lives right now and are humbled and blessed to do it. Looks like the summer could find us in Albania for a time. We're in the designing stage for a dental clinic, classrooms, and maybe an apartment in the second floor of the new Kotodesh program. This program is really growing and new families are moving into the community.

The contractor has completed the addition to the administrative building in Pogradec, Albania. The finished project really looks good and we're comforted to know that the structure is built solid and well supported. Here are pictures of the New Training room and the bottom floor used to load food for the programs.
