The 2nd week has been good. I do not think I am working hard enough. It is frustrating. The language continues to be a huge barrier, but I know that one day, sometime while I am here, I will be able to effectively communicate. It doesn't seem like it will happen, but I know it will!
Some of our members are really progressing, others are really regressing. Pride is such a stumbling block, and I also have to remember that these new members don't know anything about the gospel.
The Lord continues to bless me more than I could hope for. Missionary work is tough, but not that tough. I need to be better at stopping people on the street.
I eat TONS here, but I don't appear to be gaining weight, probably because we walk everywhere and run 3 times a week and work out too.
It is an honor and a privilege to be serving here in Shkodur. In the mission this is thought to be the hardest place to start because they speak a dialect that is different from that which they teach us in the MTC. It should pay off down the road, or at least I hope it will!
I love and miss you all, thank you very much for your prayers and support, may God be with you all!
Love
