Discontent Albanian House Wives

C'kemi! This week's been rad! Here's a quick rundown.

Monday- After Email we went on got a burger and helped this lady clean up some trays in her restaurant. Even little services soften hearts.

Tuesday- We found Alfred Shkreta, a less active. He's super rad, but his wife does really not like the church, so he doesn't come, hence the title. Cool guy, we'll keep going there. English course rocked again. I have a friend there named Shikim, and we may try to do a lesson about the gospel this week. Also had a lesson with a less active named Geraldo. He's a bro.

Wednesday- We went to go find this less active, and ended up going to Golem, a village like 10-15 minutes outside of Durres, and then after not finding him, we miraculously met up with an investigator that we haven't talked to for a week! Literally a miracle.

Thursday- We had mission conference in Elbasan! We took a public van there, and I talked to this muslim girl, and gave her a book of mormon! Our schedule changed and the key indicators changed! It's a worldwide change. If you want to know more, you can look it up.

Friday- We met with Eduard, whose wife has died 2 years ago. He raises his two daughters himself. We had a rad lesson, and the spirit was really strong. Elder Kaks was on fire, and in tune with the Spirit. The only bad news is that afterwards he asked us for money, which we can't give, and we haven't talked to him since :/ But we know where he lives! We'll visit him this week!

Saturday- We played futbol with members and got our transfer calls! I'll be staying in Durres for another 6 weeks with Elder Wilson from Idaho! Do you know him?

Sunday- We had lunch with a member, and had a good turnout at church. We had a teenager investigator come, who's 13, and it's sweet! He's got a lot of desire to get baptized, but his parents don't like the church.

Today- We picked up our standing residences so we can be legal and made cookies and ate gourmet waffles!

Conrad, Thanks a bunch for you email, bro. I'll read it again, because I only read it once. Thank you for being inspired. I'm so excited for you and Katie! Woot!

Love you!

Elder Schneider
