Luan Hasanbelliu, an Albanian brother in Fier, Albania, writes the following letter to Doug Smith. You can sense his excitement.
“It is a great joy for me to send a message to you. I wish you are doing well. I am fine, and things are going very well here.
“Three nights ago, we had a baptism: our friend Toto Avdia who has been coming at our church for more than 4 months and has finished the first three books of WEI. Now, he is our new brother in Christ.
“There are two other of our friends that are very close to be baptized. One of them is Arben Yzeiri that you know very well. He will be baptized next week on Friday.
“I will try to send some pictures from Toto’s baptism where you can see him, his wife, his daughter, and our friends that were there. That was a very wonderful day for us.”
The following Friday, Arben, was baptized into Christ.
