Oct 3rd

Tell Tyson congratulations! That's awesome but being officially made an Elder 
will probably be about ten times more rewarding so stay focused! Lots can 
happen in a month!
 
I can't think of anything for that package sorry. Whatever you put in it I'm 
sure I'll love.
 
Yea I like Morgan's parents. They're way chill. I haven't talked to her dad as 
much but her mom is way chill and her dad is super smart so that's what makes 
Morgan the best of both worlds. Haha
 
I seriously can't even comprehend everything that is happening around me 
though. Like I hope it wasn't my lack of faith, but I never thought such 
amazing things could happen. The branch in Fier is changing so fast I can't 
keep up with it. I feel like I'm in the middle of a Mormon Message or 
something like that. It's unreal. I don't want it to end! Investigators are 
coming to us, calling us to meet, and eating everything up. The fruits of all 
these labors should start showing here in the next 2-3 weeks with people 
making their first covenants with God through baptism. They still have some 
improvements but we probably have about 5 people that could get baptized in 
the next few weeks. I hope they all work out but we're just gonna do what we 
can to guide them along. We actually had 8 investigators in church so that is 
really promising.
 
Besides the ones I've told you about before we added 2 more hopefuls this 
week.
 
One is named Albi and he is super chill. He loves meeting and listens super 
intently. The only issue is his smoking. Which is an issue with almost all 
Albanians but I think he smokes more than most. He was actually in jail for 
smoking ilegal drugs so we also have to find out how long ago that was and 
talk to President Ford about him.
 
One of the young men brought their older brother to soccer Saturday and we 
talked about Sabbath Day for the spiritual thought. I don't know if that's why 
the brother also came to Sacrament but he was there so we're gonna talk to the 
member Tuesday about teaching his brother. They brother's name is Saimir and 
he is super nice and seems like a really joyful person so I hope he works out.
 
We talked to another young man and he has 3 friends he's hit up about the 
gospel and wants to bring to church so we'll just have to work with him on 
making that happen. We did weekly planning and there's about 15 people we want 
to talk to about learning and our goal is about half of them (7) become new 
investigators. It's almost getting to be too much investigators so someone 
needs to get baptized soon. Haha we can't keep track of all of them. But we're 
planning on 2 being baptized in 2 weeks and hopefully a couple more the week 
after that. I just wish we had more time in a day to meet with all of them or 
maybe another companionship here for a few weeks. Haha that would be nice, 
traveling missionaries to go help areas get through super busy times. Haha
 
But yea this week we have high goals. We want those 7 new investigators and 
hopefully some with baptism dates, we want as much as possible in church, plus 
20 investigator lessons with more than half being member lessons. That's the 
standard of excellence for this mission so we're hoping we can pull it off. 
But it'll be hard and will be completely up to the Lord, but it's possible! 
I'm just super excited for this week!
 
But church was amazing this week. It was probably my first normal Sunday since 
I came to Fier. Callings are starting to be taken and working so we can start 
getting more out, church went smoothly and we had an Albanian teach each class 
which was awesome! The Lord's time is usually slower than my desired time but 
right now he's way ahead of us and we're trying to catch up but it's getting 
harder each week. But we just do our best and he's carrying the rest. Right 
now he's basically carrying me with Fier but hopefully I can help out more.
 
I can't even think of what to tell you honestly. It's hard to tell people at 
home because you don't understand because you're not here. Not saying I'm 
withholding information but I can't explain to you all the stuff that happened 
this week. We were just constantly in lessons and it was incredible. Every 
week has been crazy and I'm excited for another God guided week. I hope to be 
telling you about baptisms here in the near future and more progress in the 
branch.
 
I love you all and hope you all have an amazing week! Don't worry about me! 
Seriously though, I can't put into words how much the work is just being moved 
along by the Lord. I just am trying to not slow it down at this point. Have a 
great week! Bye!
