So for our investigators:
-Shpetime is doing amazing! She didn't come to church this week, but we know she is still doing great and on track for baptism. She is so excited! We met with her twice this week, and both lessons were great!
-Pranvera is probably one of my favorite people in Albania. She reads, loves the gospel, and is just so excited to meet and learn more. Her 15 year old sister came to visit, so Pranvera took her to one of our lessons. It was so great! She isn't even baptized and she is still sharing the gospel and helping us in lessons like a member. She knows the church is true, and I know she will be strong forever:)
-Leticia. We got a call from Florinda (our 11 year old recent convert), and she said, "So when can Leticia get baptized? We were thinking about this Saturday." We had no idea who Leticia even was! We found out later that is was Florinda's 10 year old friend who has been coming to church with her. We met with her this week, and she is amazing! She basically taught us the Restoration:) She didn't get baptized this week, but she does have a baptismal date for the 26th of December!
-Zamira is still doing good, but didn't come to church this week. If she doesn't start reading on her own or coming to church, we may have to stop teaching her.
That is about it for our strong investigators! We have some others that we have met with, but we will see if anything happens with them:) For Thanksgiving, we had Mission Conference! It was super good! We had a training about the new Christmas initiative "A Savior is Born" or "Nje Shpetimtar Ka Lindur." We are super excited for December! We will have a bunch of activities for this month, and will be super busy with it all. We are super excited! After the meeting, we ate Thanksgiving dinner, then every district performed a skit. It was super fun!
I think that's all for this week. Have a great week! Love and miss you guys!
Love,
