We drove by the new church building last week on our way home from Kosovo (zone training again). It's pretty much a house/apartment type thing that they've rented out and are turning into a meetinghouse. It's in a beautiful neighborhood, though. Not that far from where our apartment is. I had no idea it was there. And I didn't know Macedonia did cute.
Macedonian Easter was yesterday so we did some Easter-themed tabling in Center with the elders. Elder Prince dyed some eggs and put them in a basket along with some cards. Elder Rigby set out some pamphlets in a more artistic way that we hadn't done before. I got a couple of phone numbers.
They sell eggs pre-dyed here, but usually when people do them by themselves they mostly dye them red. We went over to Susana's place the other day and she was using beet juice to dye the eggs, and then shining them with vegetable oil.
This morning I actually did shine my shoes and shop at the store. But I'm supposed to do that on Saturday right?
I saw Nergus again, the Jehovah's Witness lady who works by Bit Pazar. I had stopped by and given her stuff to read about Joseph Smith and she asked me if she could have a copy of the King James Bible in English. (She understands English pretty well.) So the other day we went to her work again and I gave her the Bible. I think that's going to be the end of the road though, because we both just keep trying to convert each other.
President Weidmann came to church on Sunday for announcing the new branch presidency. Elmaz is president, Zoki is first counselor, Negat is second counselor, and Elder Nelson is the clerk. President Weidmann also gave me my travel plans printed off. Skopje, Vienna, Chicago, Salt Lake.
It was nice weather this week and I bought a little Roma boy some ice cream. Some of the fountains have turned back on but the big Alexander the Great one has construction going on around it, so I probably won't see it working again before I leave.
Sister Hassell likes to blow bubbles during companion study. And weekly planning. And daily planning. I don't know when she got them.
My apologies for the dry letter.
Love,
Sister Riddle
