Dear family,

So this week was pretty exciting.  We were able to get in contact with several less active families this week, and we got a new high for lessons since this area was opened.  It's nice to see that in the past 4 months that lessons have steadily been increasing.  Slowly but surely.  We also got 2 investigators in church on Sunday which was another high for this area in the past 6 months I think.

To top everything off for the week, we were having lunch on Sunday, and we looked outside at our neighbor's house, and their couch was on fire.  So we took the miniature fire extinguisher we were given and ran over to help douse the flames.  They were using huge buckets full of water, and luckily it was just a regular fire that gets put out by water and not one of them grease fires that goes jumping all over the place with water.  When I got there with the extinguisher, they had run out of water, and there was still a little fire there, so I put the rest out.  Luckily, the houses here are still 99% cement, so not to much was damaged.  By the looks of things, the only lasting damage is now to their couch.  So that was fun.

Then, putting this week off to a good start, I threw up on Monday morning, and stayed inside all of Monday and Tuesday.  We had district meeting today, and then we came to this internet place for internet.  Thus starts the week.  And tomorrow, we have a special training going down, so that'll be fun.

Last Saturday, we had a branch activity where we watched the Testaments again with Albanian subtitles.  That was fun.  With the leadership training thing, my companion goes on exchanges with somebody else, and they do regular missionary work.  Anyways, I don't think too much else happened this week.  So, yeah, that's it.  Have a good week.

Love,
Elder Wallentine
