This past week we visited Durrës with Nardi and Elida Çuçi for her birthday. We had lunch at the beach and then went for a walk. Their son Edison is now a missionary in the London, England Mission. The hill at the top of the photograph is the palace of the last King of Albania, King Zog. The palace is now a military installation.

Its not much of a soccer field, but there's not a lot of grass in this country. These teams were part of a boys' league which plays every Saturday.
Mom at Saturday's Institute class. Young man next to her is Elvis Lulo. He has just returned from his 2 year mission to Milan, Italy.
Mario Kapinova and Fatjona Priska. You may remember Fatjona from Mom's interview on Albanian television. Mario is her boyfriend. He's to be baptized on February 14th and he has asked me to baptize him. These are exciting times in Albania for the young adults.
