Today was a historic day in Vlore, Albania with the first ever baptism at a lake. Elder and Motra Smith were sent to Albania to work in a outreach center for Young Adults. They have never had a Young Adult program in Vlore so our mission was to set it up before our mission ends in 18 months. We went right to work and started the program with-in the first two weeks of arriving in Vlore. We have between 6 and 15 young adults coming to both Family Home Evening (on Monday) and Institute (on Wednesday). Today we had our first baptism come from this program. We went to the lake Zvȅrhex about a 35 minute furgon ride away from Vlore. I baptized Aurora Demaj because of our association in the single adults program. She is such a sweet young woman and will be a great asset to the Branch and the young single adults. She has already been called to be the secretary for the young single adults.
The witnesses are Elder Smith and Elder Thorpe
