We are thankful

Dear Family and Friends, To start with, we would like to tell you more about some of the friends we have made here. Ylmer, our 80-year-old friend, has met twice with the missionaries. He says he is a Muslim, but he doesn’t believe in God.  He lived through the communist times here in Albania, when belief in God was forbidden.  He is pretty stubborn about it, but his niece’s 11-year-old daughter has participated in those discussions and she wants to learn more. Her mother said she would talk to her husband about that.  We will just have to see where this goes. Kathy is devasted and has shed many tears for her friend. Ylmer won’t even consider life after death. He is so sad and angry about losing his wife six years ago, that he won’t even consider that there is a God. He said his wife is gone and buried and he will never see her again. If we truly believed this life was the end, there would be no purpose for anything!
