"In this family we serve missions!"

“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!”

GJAKOVA

We drive over once or twice a week with two of the elders to teach...

There is always a warm and welcoming spirit there.

There are lots of carts/wagons pulled by lawn mowers..many by rototillers and horses..they are usually full of fruits and vegetables being brought in from the villages

Pretty tricky getting pictures from a car window !!!

This is our 'group' in Gjakova..they come to Pristina to church as often as they can..sometimes the buses don't run. They most often hold their own meetings.

Burim is the group Leader.and the 2nd councilor in the Branch presidency..Liz will fly home to Arizona in a couple of weeks. Our members there are so strong there!!!
