“We need thousands of more couples serving in the missions of the Church. Every mission president pleads for them. They…can leave the grandchildren. Those little darlings will be just fine, and I promise you will do things for them in the service of the Lord that, worlds without end, you could never do if you stayed home to hover over them. What greater gift could grandparents give their posterity than to say by deed as well as word, “In this family we serve missions!”

Muslim Mosques

Mosques:
These Mosques are seen all over Pristine and probably all over Kosovo..the tower next to them has speakers on it and calls them  (Salat) to prayers 5 times a day !! The Elders assure us that  NOBODY   goes to church or is a practicing Muslim .   But they use it for an excuse....

They just  started Ramadan. They fast from 1st light til sundown for 1 month. They are remodeling some of the mosques. One place in the center of the city there are 3 huge ones right together.


Up and down the main streets of the center of Pristine are so, so many dress shops and shoe shops. It is amazing !!!!!!  Both sides of the street !!

"If you judge people,you have no time to love them"
"Not all of us can do great things. But we can do small things with great love."
"Peace begins with a smile"
"......if you love until it hurts, there can be no hurt, only more love."
".....He will not ask, How many good things have you done in your life,..but, how much love did you put into what you did ?"


This is a walking blvd.  Where families go every night to socialize and 'hang out' in the cool of the eve. This is where the elders  do their 'finding'  besides knocking doors.

 
One of the biggest Patriots during the Kosovo crises....,always fresh flowers at the bottom.
