Photo Diary - Spring 2010

Please scroll down to view photos. For some reason, Blogger is putting a large space in the intro.

We hope you enjoy this selection pictures from March-May! Lacey's folks came and visited us in early April. They listened to us a lot, worked a lot, and brought a lot of encouragement. SweetBean is stabilizing and maturing in many small ways as a business. Friendships on the team are also deepening. High School students remain actively involved in the Qiriazi Center for servant leadership development. The pictures below give a glimpse into these three main areas of our life.
Touring the Serbian Orthodox monastery in Peja for the first time, obligatory NATO security pass in-hand	Reviewing a new cake order form during the weekly staff meeting.	Sweet Bean staff picture: employees pose as servers, cooks, and accountants, some of the duties they all perform.
Homemade Strawberry Lemonade	Saturday morning Cinnamon Rolls	Banana Chocolate-Chunk Muffin
Wall around the Serbian Orthodox Monastery: ethnic Albanians on the outside, Serbian nuns on the inside, and Italian troops (notice watch tower) to keep them apart.	Strolling into the famous Rugova Gorge, discussing life.	John and Cee Jaye during a power outage. They got to see a lot of them in one week, and almost stopped noticing them.
Below: This spring the Qiriazi Center servant leadership club organized a basketball tournament as a service project.
Students and a ref prepare the court one morning before game time.	Full of students, especially for the final. Sports are played a lot here, but not formally, so this was a shot at big-time bragging rights.	Qiriazi Center students registered teams, arranged logistics, recruited sponsors, and kept score.
