Our new teammates, Spencer and Janae Fuller, arrived late in April. After much prayer and red tape, visas were issued! Here's a picture of Kate (1-1/2 years old) with Josh, Rebekah and Maggie (Williams). (You can see Spencer and Janae in the red and black t-shirts, respectfully, in the picture below.)
The Fullers are here for a two-year term; Spencer hopes to head up efforts in sports evangelism, while Janae takes over our ESL program. We are so thankful to have them join us in Prilep!!!
May Day
May 1st is a big holiday here and some of our friends from the church in Skopje came down to celebrate with us!
They arrived on Saturday and we hiked to Treskavec (the monastery we hiked to a few weeks ago).
Our new teammates Spencer and Janae Fuller made the hike with us, along with their 1-1/2 year old Kate, who is riding on Spencer's back. 
Even though they couldn't communicate in the same language, Kate made a new friend that day!
The weather was beautiful so the long hike, though exhausting was also somehow energizing! It is such a blessing to see how God is using the young people from Skopje to touch the hearts of the young people here in Prilep.
God works through missionaries in some ways and through national believers in other ways, all with the same goal of bringing the lost to a saving relationship with Him! All members of the same body with Christ as the head!
It was dark by the time we made it back to the car! Here's a pic of our sweet town of Prilep!
Once again I just have to say "Geaux Tigers!!!" (And apparently God says it too!!!)
2nd Day of May Day!!
On May 2nd we had a big picnic in a nearby glade. Some of our folks got there at 6am to "reserve" a spot for us!
We cooked out on the grill and spent all day hanging out! It was a great day to be together and enjoy the blessings of beautiful weather and scrumptious food! Everyone that came is either in a Bible study or comes to English class. What a fantastic group!
