This is Brissi Beleshi (on the left) and a friend (non-member) at one of our activities.  We were up at the monument where Albania was dedicated and the wind was blowing a lot.  Brissi speaks very good English, but we have a hard time keeping her coming. 

This is Besmir Gjoni who just went to the temple for the first time.  He had us help him with some family names so he could do their work while at the temple.  He did his grandfather, uncle, great grandfather and great grandmother.  His family is Muslim, but they gave him permission to do this work.  He was so excited to go and it was so fun to help him get ready.  Glen taught him the temple prep. lessons.

This is Neti Lapi getting the names and numbers of two girls that stopped to talk and we invited them to stay for the activity.  They came out a few times, but nothing happened.  Elsa, in the purple, was working with them.  The girl in the back next to Elsa is Besmir Marku's sister.  They are Muslims and her father won't let her get baptized.  Besmir is baptized and is one of our strongest members.  His sister will be 18 soon and we hope then she can be baptized.  Neti is in our branch presidency and is preparing to serve a mission.  Glen has been teaching him the missionary prep. lessons, and he is getting all his medicals done.  He is 23 and is so excited to finally be going.  That is Besmir Gjoni next to Neti who is also in the branch presidency.
