There was a graduation ceremony here at the school in Sauk yesterday. 8 student graduates brought in a crowd of about 250 family, friends and other congregants to the school. Of the graduates, none lacked maturity and clarified purpose in what they intend to give back to the kingdom of God. The most exciting person to see, however, was Dardajan.
At the head of his class, Dardajan was the only person at the school to complete his third year in the missions field. He has spent the last year in Macedonia, one of the most challenging fields in all of Albanian Europe.
Standing with Petrit, Kreshnik and David, Dardajan is admired by everyone who knows him. He is fluent in Albanian, Italian and English and can stand in to translate college level courses from any of these tongues to another.
The night before graduation I was lying in my bed, watching Inception on my laptop with my earbuds in, trying to get a handle on why I feel so miserable. Dardajan touched me on my shoulder which sent me into a surprised, awakened, disrupted response. I was so glad to see him. He has an effect on the people around him which is undeniably positive. God is with this man in a rare and exciting way.
