On the Road Again...

My life seems to feel a bit like the line from an old Willie Nelson song, " on the road again, I just can't wait to get back on the road again..."  Don't know if the just can't wait part is true but I am back in that same faux Viennese cafe waiting for me next flight on the next leg of my journey to the UK this time.  My flight leaves in about 2 hours so I am killing time, writing to all of you and keeping you in the loop.  It hopefully will help you understand my work, better and better.  

Thank you to those of you who prayed for my time in Kosova.  2 positive outcomes of my trip were: 1) meeting with the assistant to the mayor of Peje, Lirim Kurtaj.  He seems to be a "can do" kind of guy and is very interested in keeping our plans for a business incubator alive in Peje.  He seems to understand an investment mentality and is looking beyond donations.  Lirim said all the right things over a lovely machiato (a mini latte) along the river on Saturday.  Now lets see if he can deliver the Mayor and the city council like he intimates.  2) was getting Aferdita Kastrati, a woman we have given a loan to in the past to become an agent for the real estate company we have set up in Peje.  She is a real fire ball and doing quite well with the shop we lent her money to start.  The shop is going so well, she is board now and needs a new challenge.  Well, I offered her one over the weekend.  Already she has loads of ideas and plans so I am hoping and praying she will breath new life into that venture.  The investors have set an autumn deadline for viability.  Join me in praying we see a some major sales in this  3 month period.  

I am off to the UK staying with supporters and Radstock meetings tomorrow.  Hope those of you all enjoy your holiday today.  Brad
