Dear family,

So we just got word from president that 2 missionaries were being sent to open up Kosavo.  They're going to Prishtina on Wednesday.  From what president said, there will be one person leaving Kosavo every transfer and a new person will go up.  That's pretty crazy.  From what I've heard, the people there are very very Muslim.  So next transfer we'll probably hear about how it's going up there in Kosavo.

This past week was pretty busy.  We had to get a couple things ready for zone conference as well as for the 3rd hour lesson we had in church since it was the 5th Sunday of the month.  This next week should be a little less busy, so we should be able to try out this new Operation Teancum that we had heard about from some other missionary.  They passed out these papers to different doors where they were going to go tracting in a couple days.  The papers had the questions of the soul, contact information, and said that we'll be coming back in 2 days.  Then 2 days later, we come back and, from what I've heard, things are a lot quicker and more efficient.  So we'll see how that goes.

Our new apartment is on the 8th floor of a building, so we have an awesome view of Tirana.  We didn't have power for a while because the bills for electricity weren't paid for quite some time, but now everything is back in order.  We still had water, but there was no hot water, so we had cold showers for a while.  There's this family we're teaching who is really cool.  They are progressing rather well towards baptism too.  Yesterday was the baptism of Taipi Lami, the father of the family I've mentioned before.  It was way cool to see.  They want us to go out there along with the Laprakë elders so we can eat some of their mulberries I think they're called.  In Albanian they're called mana and they're little white fruits.  I want to try some of them.  That'd be cool.

Anyways, I hope everything is well at home.  Not much more to report for the day.

Love,

Elder Wallentine
