Elder Jacob Farnworth: Joe Biden 8/22/16

New shades in the city

This week was pretty good. At the beginning of the week we walked down the boulevard and there were like a ton of American flags everywhere and like American stuff hanged all over. It was weird, but it made for really good contacting! People would stop and talk to us and be like "see how much we love America?" and I would be like "yeah that is great! Would you like to hear a message about Jesus?" And they would be like "get out of here" and walk away. Its great! But I found out that all of that American stuff was all set up because Joe Biden was coming to visit Kosovo for some reason? I don't really know why. But it was really cool he stayed at a hotel like a block away from our apartment so all the roads were blocked off and at times there were helicopters flying above our house and stuff! Pretty cool. Then when he made his public appearance we were able to see him! Pretty crazy. We also saw some secret service people that were from America and were members of the church! Pretty crazy. Small world!

Lemon Cake I made for district lunch!

Other than that this week was pretty boring.. It is getting to the end of summer so people are getting busy and can't meet. We have been doing a lot of finding lately but we are meeting some pretty cool people from it! We are still hanging out with our homey Islam. He is still doing really well! He is about to move to Switzerland to get his PhD and it is going to be super sad when he leaves!! But we wont worry about that until it happens. :) But the work is going really good! Still loving every day of it out here.

Love you all!!
