Dear family,

This past week has been a really busy week.  There were 2 baptismal services, both of which required us to be at the church for 4 hours to fill up the font.  We also had transfers this week.  On top of that, we have been fixing up our house so that the sink no longer drains into a bucket we have to empty all the time and the toilet now has a toilet seat that is attached to the toilet.  Also, there was this neighbor who helped us out with all that who seems to be able to help us out with the water heater at the church with the baptismal font.  I talked to President Ford about it, and he agrees that it is a little ridiculous that we are sitting there for 4 hours every baptism, so he told me to try to get an estimate from somebody to see how much it will cost.  So we'll see how all that goes.

Also, Elder Warburton and I have been going through our responsibilities as Zone Leaders, and there seems to be a lot of things that haven't been done by the zone leaders for a long time that have to be done.  So we're going to talk to president about all that.  Also, in our zone, there are 4 new missionaries, and there are also 4 in the outside zone as well.  This next week we'll be going on exchanges with 1 companionship that has a new missionary as well as the missionaries in Laprakë, because the assistants told us that they are concerned with that.  So we'll see how this all works out. Yesterday, I was teaching in the primary during 2nd hour, and the branch president came in and told me that this lady wanted us to visit their relatives.  So we got 3 more referrals, hopefully future investigators and baptisms.  We'll see how all this goes.

Last Thursday, we cleaned out an old building in Kamëz that had been used for church quite some time ago, but since has been abandoned and we are closing it.  We then asked president if we could get the sign mounted on the side of the church building where we are currently meeting.  It would be great because the current sign is not in a very visible location.

That's about it for this week.  Hopefully this next week continues to go well.

Love,
Elder Wallentine
