We spent most of time together role playing the process of mentoring. We had such fun. The women were a little nervous to begin, but the more we did the more relaxed they were. At the end of the training I presented each of them with a certificate of completion and Christy presented them with a beautiful journal as a gift from us.

So, as of this afternoon we now have 5 trained Hope Partner Mentors Bethore Albanian. We are so very proud of each of them. They worked very hard to over come the language barrier.
Hope Partner Mentors in Bethore Albanian
Each of them were excited about getting started with the women in Bethore. We will be going back to Bethore next week to meet with them again to debrief their first few experiences of mentoring.
The Women were so grateful that you prayed that they wanted to say a special thank you to you all. On the poster each women signed it in Albanian and Christy then drew a heart around each name to remind them that we are all now connected in our hearts.
At the end of the day, Christy and I stopped to pick up fresh fruits and vegetables. They have many open air markets along all of the streets in the city and also in the rural areas. The picture below is Christy bartering for food. The young man is someone that she knows well and he tells her when the food is not good. She likes to go to him because he treats her well. She really can hold her own with the people here.
