This week has been... crazy! I said my goodbye's to all my wonderful people that I love in Kosovo Monday night and then I was off 4:00am bus back to Tirana. It is HOT here and it will only get hotter. ahhhh...
I found my new house which is nice, but needed
cleaning. I live in a communist pallate or appartment building that was
build during communism... so it is totally a huge cement block and looks
way nasty on the outside, but on the inside the owners of the rooms
often have made them nice. It's kinda fun. It is crazy though because in
this building we have to share water with all the neighbors... ya. The
AP's didn't know about the water situation when they found it, but I
have been making it work so far so we'll see. It's all part of the
adventure right!!?? ha. Anyway we have this little plug thing that we
have to plug in 2 floors down in the wall to turn our water on. When
it's not in we have a little tiny bit of water (enough to flush the
toilet and wash your hands) but not a lot. So when a neighbor is already
using it... it gets a little interesting. This morning I took a little
dribbling water shower because someone else already had their pump
plugged in... hahaha... We'll see how it goes.

| Me and my mini Motra Sejati |
I got my new companion on Thursday
and I am with what we call a "mini" missionary for about a week and a
half until my companion comes from America. My mini missionary is from
Tirana and her name is Motra Sejati. She is very tiny and nice. It's
been interesting living with an Albanian, but I really have enjoyed it. I
have learned a lot speaking 24-7 Albanian and I get a good laugh to
myself every time she does things... like an Albanian would. ha. My new
companion had her passport lost and so has to wait in the MTC until it
is found and she can come. It shouldn't be too long I am told so we'll
see. I've always wanted to have a mini, just not for way long and so I
guess I got just what I wanted.
It has been hard to open a brand new area having
NOTHING to go off of, but I have learned a lot and I have really just
tried to keep busy. I've met with the 4th branch Pres. and received lots
of names to get started with so that will be good this coming week. I'm
excited to see how it goes. It's good I have my companion because she
can help me get around a little to find things I don't know how to
find.
The last week of the last transfer I finished the
Book of Mormon in Albanian.. It was really great! I felt so good
finishing it. Now I am going to try and read it one more time before I
come home. It has helped me learn so much and be so much better. I love
the Book of Mormon and after I finished I prayed for a conformation of
the truthfulness and yup! It's still true! I love it! and I'm so
thankful for that special book!
We had District Conference this past Sunday
and a Mission Conference with a member of the Seventy Elder Kaeron. He
is so great! Everything was so good! I love feeling the spirit so strong
always. Here are some pics of the people I got to see there!

missionary with me. I love it already! and that all of you are doing so
well. Keep up the good work! have a good week!

Me dashuri-
