Elder Jacob Farnworth: Shkoders next top model (2/22/16)

Shkoders next top model

This was a good week! I am loving the people so much. I feel like I have gotten really close with all of the members already. They are all just so loving and so accepting it is awesome! Accept none of them can say my name so they all call me Elder Fani (Fawny) it is funny, I don't really understand why Farnworth is so hard to them!

So this week we got new senior missionaries in Shkoder! Elder and Sister Kollins. They are from St George and they are super nice. They love to joke and tease so needless to say we get along really well. They are both converts to the church and have such unique convert stories! But I am really excited to work with them they are so nice.

But this week was really good! We had a lot of lessons, we are started to get a solid base of investigators so we have a lot of lessons every day. I was street contacting this week which is always interesting. I had one guy sing to me for a really long time and it was actually really quite lovely. Then I met this guy who kept touching my hair I was really uncomfortable. People of Albania are just all really strange and fun I love them. Also, I talked to this guy who is a shoe shiner and we talked just about my life and his life for like a half hour. He was the nicest guy ever then he like forced me to get on his shoe shining chair and he shined my shoes for free.

So when he was shining my shoes I looked at it as an opportunity to share the Gospel with him it was funny. But then he totally was interested and he gave me his number!

at the castle in Shkoder!

Then on Sunday I walked by him while we were going to church and he was like whats up! And I asked him if he wanted to come to church and he said yeah so he came with us it was awesome! Then we were sitting in Sunday school and he was like this is all just so great and I was just like, do you want to get baptized? Then in my mind I was like WHY DID YOU SAY THAT but then he was like yeah! it was just so awesome. So we will start teaching him. He is such a stud.

Members from Elbasan came to visit!

I love this mission so much I am so blessed with the best mission in the world. I love it so much! The Lord knew what he was doing when he sent me here because this is the place for me! I love it. Thank you for all your support and love every week!
