10 in White


This is only one of several baptisms we've had recently, but it was especially notable because it was a mother and her four children.--the Lami family in the 4th Branch. The missionaries who had taught the family and were asked to help with the baptisms were Elders Johnson, Seevers, Frederickson, Miller, and Moyes.

In other news: Albania has had a long month of heavy rains, with only a few dry days. The hydropower dams became overloaded and water had to be released, causing the already full rivers to overflow. Low-lying agricultural areas and villages are flooded, and parts of many cities are also covered with water. When a quarter of the northern city of Shkodra became covered in water, we decided to evacuate the four elders to Tirana. They were able to take a furgon (private van) to Tirana, which took a long and bumpy alternate route that was still navigable. The national highway is flooded. The weather report shows four days of sunshine before the rains begin again.
