Dear Family and Friends,

Thank you for writing to me every week! That's awesome that the Encampment went so well! I was glad to hear more about it.

This week has been full of trips and little work that comes up here and there as a missionary. Elder Cani and I have been looking for a new house this week and we found a gem! I'm surprised at how nice this house is! It rivals the Lushnjë Palace for niceness! We also had Zone Training this week in Prishtina. It was really awesome that I got to see some of my missionary friends from other cities there. Guess what! Nope, but you were close. Elder Keck is the new Zone Leader in Prishtina! They grow up so fast! It was really awesome seeing him grow so much over the time that he's been here in his mission. This week I've really been thinking about that. All of us are little in comparison with God, however, during our lives we grow dramatically (physically and spiritually). I'm sure that God is really happy when He sees us growing closer to Him spiritually. All of us are either growing or shrinking (in a spiritual sense) there is no standing still. That's why it's so important that we read our scriptures, go to church, and pray daily. I know that when we do these things, we come closer to God and He's pleased with our progress and improvement!

Sorry this email is so short. The power in Gjakova has been on and off a ton today so I haven't had a whole lot of time to write. Ju dua shumë. Zoti ju bekoftë. Javë të mbarë. Kalofshi bukur!

Me dashuri,

Elder Watson
