So, there are 3 missionaries in the MTC Macedonia-bound right now. Elder Rigby should have been getting here in a few weeks, but he's having some visa problems so who knows when we'll see him? Then there's a Sister Hassel and an Elder Somethingorother coming at the end of November. Exciting.
Transfer calls happened in Albania, Kosovo, and for the Elders here in Macedonia. I remember last time for transfer calls President Ford just called me and asked how I was doing.
We had Sister Training in Albania and then Zone Conference in Kosovo the next day. They were both great. Everything is longer under President Weidmann. He set a goal for each companionship to have four more baptisms by the end of the year. It's now a new rule to pray for our companions in every single prayer, and to pray "at every finding opportunity". He's come up with a mission motto for us and says he wants to find a mission hymn as well, so that throughout our lives when we hear it we can remember our missions.
Remember the Albanian lady who heard voices and told me I was fat? Well, her name was Alyria and apparently she talks to Sister White and Sister Curtis about me pretty much every time they see her. I guess she really liked me and said that I prayed "the right way", which is kind of confusing because I pray the exact same way that they do. They also told me they thought it was funny that Alyria has known them both for so long and gets both of their names wrong, she calls Sister White "Wyatt" and Sister Curtis "Courtis" even though she speaks great English, but every time she references me it's always, "Sister Riddle."
While in Tirana I went to a lesson at a member family's house. The woman showed us a picture of her, her husband and little boy in the May 2012 edition of the Liahona. I tried to find it online to paste it into this email, but online there are no pictures. It was a talk by Henry B. Eyring, though.
Sister Curtis goes home to Missouri on Wednesday, and Sister Wilding is leaving too. I really liked them both.
Well, that's really all I have to say this week. I love you so much.
Love,
Sister Riddle
