This weekend was a whirlwind of meetings with our visitors, Elder and Sister Weidman from Bern, Switzerland. Elder Weidman is an Area Seventy and was assigned to Albania for this conference. After picking them up at the airport, we whisked them home to Tirana to three different meetings, finally arriving home around 8:30 p.m. for a quick meal--our first since breakfast. Our Sunday meetings were held at the Durrës chapel, in two different sessions. There were 520 attendees, including 80 members who had been baptized in the last year. They had been invited to a special meeting with Elder Weidman after the two different sessions. We arrived home at 5:00 and wolfed down a roast beef meal that I had partly prepared on Friday and Sister Newhouse had finished for me as the Newhouse' arrived home before we did. Then we were off to a fireside with the Young Single Adults. Whew! The Weidman's left on Monday at noon, so we had time in the morning to have breakfast at the "American Cafe," a cafe run by some American evangelical missionaries, and a visit to the monument where Pres. Oaks dedicated the mission.
