Dear Family,
I just received this email from the youngman Burim from Kosovo that I ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood and gave a temple recommend to on August 19, 2007. He is wonderful and doing so well. He takes the leadership with others as you can see from the email. He followed up with the other youngman Ali who was also ordained the same day. He is in school in Iowa and so is Lum who was being taught before they left by our Assistants when the Assistants visited Kosovo. It will be interesting to see what happens in the future with the influence of these youngmen.
Love Dad


Dear President weight

I got back from usa where i had a great trip and a very good experience last month, i got to meet a lot of nice people and was able to learn a lot from them,

I also went to the temple , the first one was Mesa Arizona and that was a very powerfull experience and a great feeling, liz'z father came with me and he was my escort and some other cousint came too, than as we traveled i was able to visite more temple, so i went to the one in Los Angelos, San Diego and Salt lake

in each of them i have learn something new anytime i went there, i loved it.

Also me and liz were able to attend the conference in Salt lake, we had ticket for Sunday and i also went for the pristhood session, that was another great experience just beeing able to sit there and hear the Prophet's talk, i looked at them again and study more and it helped me a lot to learn and become more spiritual everyday.

Also i had my patriarcal blesing in Los Angelos, and that was really special blesing and i am reading that everyday and it's becoming more understanding anytime i read,

we had some other speakings in diferent places there about foundation and everything went great.

So thank you very much for everything you have done to make this trip hapen for me, you are a great man and a really great President in this mission, i am so happy that i got to know you and learn from you to become a better man, thank you for that.

I went to prishtina Last sunday for church and there were brother and sister sweeny and sister jane and Donika, i also met with Vlora ( the girl i am teaching) and i gave her three lessons before and gave her something to read before i left so i met and asked her how was she doing and tomorrow we are meeting again for another lasson, she is doing very very good and had a lot's of questions and she really wants to learn more and more, and i brought some materials for her in Albanian i got them from distribution center in Utah.

Oh and i almost forgot, I met with Ali and Lum in America, i went there for three days only to see them in Iowa, we all went to see nauvoo together and were able to talk a lot, the next day we all went to church and after the church Ali met with bishop and they talked for more than one hour and the church in going to make sure than Ali and Lum will have the transportation to go there everyweek now, i also talked to the missionaries there and told them to go and see Lum sometimes, and they exchange their numbers and they are going to see him now, both of them and Erza too are doing very good, just that Lum and ali were not going to church everyweek because of the transportation and their host family they went 2 times only before we went there, but now they will go every week, and Lum didnt have church clothes and he felt bad for that, but Liz got him some shirts pants and tie so now he feels much better going there, Lum is going to spend christmas with Liz's parents in Arizona and he asked liz if he can get baptize there when he goes.

ok i think this is all

thanks again for everything you are doing.
