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.
