This week we took p-day on Tuesday because we went to Krujë on our district trip, and the museum is closed on Mondays. It was pretty cool. I even picked up some nicknacks while there. This week we had 2 baptisms; a mother and her son. They are really cool.
I did my first baptismal interview last week as well. It was a little intimidating beforehand, but during the interview, it wasn't too bad. I just ended up thinking about it as if it were a mission president interview, except now I was in president's place. She's getting baptized this Saturday. We've been having a little trouble getting work moving again. Investigators randomly just stop answering their phones and whatnot. It's kind of disappointing sometimes. We've also started trying to find some families that we haven't seen in church. We're hoping to be able to reactivate some Melchizedek priesthood holders so we can move the work forward to get a stake here in Albania. I think we have enough Melchizedek priesthood holders for a stake, but we don't have enough active tithe-paying priesthood holders. Hopefully we can fix that.
We had a specialized training this week that went well. It was our last big meeting with President Neil. On the 28th, President Ford gets here. From what I've heard, some missionaries are worried that he's going to get here and make a bunch of changes and be really strict. I'm not too worried. I figure that it probably won't be too hard to make adjustments. President Neil has also been making some changes. Recently, he has told us that we can no longer call missionaries outside our districts without permission and we can't send text messages to anybody. Apparently this stuff wasn't supposed to be allowed, but he didn't know or something. So there are already things being changed, so hopefully the transition goes smooth.
Love,
Elder Wallentine
