BAPTISMS IN POGRADEC!

This week we had three baptisms and confirmations
Below is Rea with her brother Rei  They are two of the sweetest people in Pogradec.  What am I saying all these people I love!  Rea is 17 soon to be 18 June 9 her whole life ahead of her.  A lovely addition to the Kishes (church)  So brave to get baptized in the lake.  Her determination was so fun to watch.  She had been sick and I was worried that she would get pneumonia but the day after baptism the was doing great not sick at all!  A baptism blessing!


Below is Saimir--A 15 year old who lives in the village above Pogradec  He is a very good son, a good student, his English is getting better all the time and well He acts and kind of looks like Kenton and He has my heart.  I have a fierce sense of protection for him.  He hangs around a lot with Klevis  (22) and well. .... Klevis is too old for him.  I want so much to protect him and keep his innocence and benevolence that is so natural to him.  He cut his hair just before baptism but his last haircut was just like Kenton's.
