A wonderful thing happened a few day ago. I got a package from my parents. In case you were wondering, for the low price of $28.87 you too can ship six crispy-white, fresh t-shirts and a two pairs of 72″ boot laces to Albania from the States. Post marked on the 4th, arriving here on the 20th, thanks Mom and Dad.
Items of quality are not to be found in great quantity here, and those that are tend to be prohibitively expensive. When my parents and I were Skyping about a month back they asked if I needed anything. Some luxuries are too familiar to pass up. Speaking of which, I am going to sell all the way out and say thank you to the inventor of Skype for all that your product has done for my sanity since I moved here. I have been talking to my Dad and Jen on a pretty consistent basis, and then today I got a surprise call from Hannah. If you would like to Skype, my name is joshua.hughes.106, knock yourself out. Please allow for a 9 hour time difference.
Tomorrow we will be on site again with a better plan for the “white water” system at the Fushekruje church. Things are moving along, albeit at a pace I am as yet unaccustomed to. There is a 26 story building in the middle of Tirana which has been sitting idly incomplete since long before my arrival here 10 weeks ago.
I love you.

It was so great to talk to you today too! Definitely the highlight of my day.
You are loved.
