Dear Family,
Attached are a few audio files for you to hear about some events in my week. I will also send my Dear President from this week to give a different perspective. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERYBODY!!!
I am so proud of you Ammon for being such a missionary. If every young man were to prepare for a mission by being a missionary, the church would grow at an alarming rate.
My rice cooker is doing good, but if you could send be some quick rice seasoning recipes that I can just throw in the pot, that would be really appreciated….I don’t cook very much anymore…
Dad, I hope you get better.
Oh, Sister Gjika made me a scarf! She found out that I didn’t have one and started croqueting one that day! It is a beautiful blue…
I think I covered everything in the audio attatchments… I am not really sure what to say… Elder Shields is a good companion. Miracles are happening here in Fier. My companion is from southern California. He has been in the country for 1 year. I’m not sure what more to say about him…
Today we plan on playing Chess in the Xhaxhi park! It will be fun to see all the Old men swarm and help us play the game. The play chess a little different here: you have to say when the QUEEN is in check as well (makes it a bit more difficult).
Love you all! I hope everyone is doing ok.
Love,
Elder Fredrickson
(I'm still trying to figure out how to attach audio files in blogger. Sorry to those who are keeping up with this! If you know how to...PLEASE tell me!--EK)
Dear President Neil,
This week has been a busy week. We have been doing our best to always be finding however we are far from perfect. Nevertheless, we have been getting new contacts. We contacted a man on the street and set up an appointment at his stand for last Friday. We arrived, and it seems he had laid a trap for us. There before us were 3 Jehovah’s Witness missionaries along with the man we contacted. Thankfully we had a civil conversation and simply exchanged pamphlets. Because of this experience, we had questions about their doctrine, and decided to go to a member who was a former Jehovah’s Witness. We met her with her Grandmother, who is a current Jehovah’s Witness, and ended up teaching her (the grandmother) more than she taught us. We gave her a restoration and plan of Salvation pamphlet and she read them! I believe she is a very potential investigator. I don’t think we would have attempted such a meeting had it not been for that experience always finding.
Emili came to church yesterday! I firmly believe it is a miracle. She was able to convince her boss to switch her schedule and work in the evening instead of the morning yesterday. I pray she will see the blessings from it throughout the week and work towards coming more frequently. Her mother is almost officially active again too! She just needs to come a few more consecutive times, and she will be officially active. She has made up her mind to come to church each week. As I mentioned, President, miracles are happening in Fier.
President, I had a question for you: what should I do to become a great missionary like Elder Anderl? I saw how great Elder Anderl was. I saw how much you trusted him, and how much the Lord trusts him. I desire that for myself and I am willing to work for it. I just need to know what to do. Please, tell me what I should do to accomplish this desire. What can I do to gain the trust of the Lord?
I came to a somewhat troubling realization the other day. I feel that I have been looking at specific aspects of my mission (for example: the MTC, my time with Elder Anderl…etc.) like a giant treasure trove, full of gold and jewels for me to obtain. However, the catch in each of these instances is that I can only take what I can carry, and I only have a limited time in the cave to find exactly what I want or need. Looking back on the experiences, I can’t help but think of all the precious jewels lying there, which were ready to be taken, but my opportunity has past, and they are gone; I missed my chance. On top of all of this, I feel like there is a hole in my pocket, and my precious jewels are slowly slipping away. I fear that I will look at my mission in a similar light. I do not want to have any regrets about my mission. I will never get this chance again.
Thank you President for all that you continue to do for us. Thank you for your continued support and the support from Sister Neil. Thank you for all that you have done for me personally as well; it is greatly appreciated.
Sincerely,
Elder Fredrickson

Last week's letter...
January 18, 2010
Dear Family,
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA!!! CONGRATULATIONS!! I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT!!! I AM SOOO PROUD OF YOU!!!
Well, I am really excited to hear about Ashley’s mom! I hope that all is well. The Gospel is truly a precious thing.
Well, as for my week, we met Algida on Tuesday. She was disappointed to hear that Elder Anderl is gone, but that didn’t stop her curiosity and desire to learn. She had more questions for us. We gave her Preach my Gospel to read; we figured that it explains things simply and shows that out goal with all investigators is baptism. Next time we meet, we are going to specifically bring up baptism.Yesterday was an interesting day at church. We had 9 members, 2 nonmembers, 2 missionaries, and a random crazy man that walked in. The random crazy man, we have seen around Fier, and I think he is a former investigator (but I am not sure how accountable he is. FIER IS FULL OF CRAZIES!) This man walked in, said hi to everyone, and sat down. Then, right when church was about to start, he started yelling to Elder Shields on the stand “hey boss, come here, I want to have a word with you.” So Elder Shields went to him and he was like “Is this all the people that come? You’ve got to go on the streets and start talking to more people.” Elder Shields had never met him before, so it was interesting… I had met him before and knew he was crazy. Anyway, Elder Shields went on the stand and started the meeting. Then, right as Elder Shields went up to the podium to announce the sacrament hymn, the crazy man stood up and said, “Ok everyone, I’m leaving. Bye! Oh, but first before I go…” And he walked over to Sister Licaj and offered her a cigarette! Right before the Sacrament! Sister Gjika in the back was like “Sir, we are having sacrament meeting. Please, stop.” (Sister Licaj did NOT accept the cigarette by the way) So he left, and sacrament meeting was reasonable normal after that (with exception to Majlinda, another crazy. She is legitimately crazy, but she at least was not disruptive this time. She is one of the nonmembers.) Sister Gjika gave a great talk on Forgiveness, something this branch really needs. Any way, church was good.
We hope that Edi will gain the faith to stop smoking. He tried the stop smoking program once before, but he couldn’t do the first step of crushing his cigarettes. I hope he will try again. We were on exchanges and my temporary companion bore strong testimony about overcoming vices and weaknesses. He was inactive before his mission for several years but turned his live around and is now a fantastic missionary.
We haven’t been able to meet with Florjan. He is busy with work. We hope he will understand the blessings of baptism.Sidorela is progressing. All she needs to learn is Tithing and Chastity. However, her parents will not let her come to church. Her parents are traditionally Muslim. I’m not sure how her sister received permission to be baptized, but then again, she lives with her Grandmother who is Jehovah’s Witness.
Emili, a less active member really needs a lot of prayer right now. She is a single mother (divorced, her husband is a really, really horrible person. He is evil…) She has 3 wonderful children and is doing everything she can to provide for them. She works practically every day but she is going to try to get Sunday’s off to get to church. That would be REALLY good for her if she could come. She needs that.
Ylli is another less active member that could use your prayers. He has a very strong testimony, but he needs help to quit smoking again. Smoking is such a tenacious habit here.
Brother and Sister Gjika could use your prayers as well.
I love the branch here in Fier. These people are such good people, but pride is a very bad plague here. It has infested nearly the entire branch, and so people are having difficulty coming and staying. I hope that we can help. Most of their problems would just disappear if they lived the gospel.
I love you all. Melisa, I hope you start feeling better! Ammom, good job on taking over for Dad. I am sure he really appreaciates it. I really appreaciate the voice recorder. I need to get around to sending an audio recording of me. Give everyone my love.
The gospel is true. I cannot deny it.
Love,
Elder Fredrickson

This week's letter...
January 11, 2010
Dear Family,
Sorry about the e-mail last week. The computer was giving me trouble and apparently it didn't send... Though It did inform you that p-day is on tuesday at the 3 month transfer so it would not have come on monday anyway....But is didn't get sent according to my sent mail, so I will try to salvage it, or some of it, if I can. Please apologize to Sister Jensen for me. I haven't really been able to send more than I think 1 letter and 2 or 3 post cards. I'm going to try to write a few letters today, but I'm not sure when they will get sent. Please tell sister Jensen that I enjoy and appreciate her letters. It is great to be able to hear from people, especially since I get mail about once a month. I will try to do better about it. Also thank Sister Nevins for her letters and also the maloneys, the browns, the Sheas, and...there are a couple others that I got Christmas cards from. I wrote thank you's in my last letter but it apparently prished. Well, New years was fantastic, but I wrote about that in the other letter and i will try to recover that. I'm really sorry it didn't get sent.
Well, I didn't get transfered. I am here with my new companion, Elder Shields. He is the new Branch President, so I have spent the last week kind of training him in his new duties. He hasn't been with a branch president companion before, not to mention be branch president, therefore I teach him about proceedure, and how to do tithing, and various other responsibilities which he has inherited. Also, could you send Brother and Sister Lowman's address so that I can write them. I don't have a lot of addresses to write to. I have been improving in my piano skills. I typically am able to play prelude and practice while my companion is in an interview. Elder Shields is from southern California and he has been in Albania for a year. I really miss Elder Anderl, but it is time for us to go our separate ways. I don't really know Elder Shields very well, because we were in a 3 person companionship for the first few days we were together while the third person was waiting for his trainee. It is funny, because the day after the 3rd person, Elder Flack, received his new companion, Elder Walentine, Eldr Flack and Eldr Shields were required to go to Tirana for half a day for a Branch President's meeting, so I was with a companion who had only been in Albania for 1 day. It was kind of fun actually. Elder Walentine is going to be an excellent missionary I think.
Well, it has been a somewhat crazy week. Lots of random events have occured. Siderella (the girl who had given back her book of mormon then asked for it again) wanted to meet with us again! She hasn't wanted to meet with us for 3 weeks! Also, while we were heading back for lunch one day, a random person walked up to us and asked for a pamphet and to ask where the church is. Later that day, we were waiting for an interview at the church, and he walked in and said, I found the church. While we waited, we gave him a first lesson. It was strange. Then a few other things happened. Sister Gjika closed the stand to come to church (her husband stayed a home because he was upset with her...don't ask...)! That just shows how powerfully she has reactivated! It is truly a miracle. Now we need to work with her husband...Brother Gjika seems a bit like the brother of the prodigal's Son. Anyway, interesting week.
Well, I love you all! I am going to try to get that e-mail out...or atleast what I can. I love you dad and I hopee you get better. Good Luck Anna! I know you will do great! It is awesome to hear about Ashely's mom. I hope Amy gets better. I love you all and I hope everything is okay at home!
Love,

A lost letter!
Last week, causing great worry in my mom, we did not recieve a letter from John. Knowing it was transfer week and that the electricity can be flaky out there, we tried to not worry too much about it. Well, with John's letter this week he sent last week's that did not get sent somehow.
So, here's the letter for January 4, 2010.
Dear Family,
I'm sorry I couldn't write yesterday. I found out that on the 3 month transfer week, P-day is on Tuesday. Well, I am in a 3 person companionship for the next few days. One of my companions will be training and they don't arrive until thursday. The other will be taking Elder Anderl's place as branch president. I, however, must give my new companion, Elder Shields, a slight tutorial on some of the branch president stuff.
I was feeling rather empathetic of dad the other day. Specifically speaking, I am the branch clerk, and so filling out tithing reports and all sort of paperwork reminded me of the fact that dad was ward clerk for a while. However, I am sure it was a lot different because we don't have computers. Everything is done by hand.
Well, Elder Anderl is gone. I really enjoyed serving with him. He was one of the greatest missionaries that I have worked with. I simply wish that I was better at learning things, because it if frustrating that I cannot remember every detail about our time together. I know that I could have learned more, but I am thankful for what I have learned and what I remember.
I have had the opportunity to use your voice recorder. It has been busy today with transfers, so I wasn't able to grab it but I have a few things to send to you. The Gjika family says happy new years. I recorded that for all of you, but it is in Albanian so just know that they are wishing you well. I will send that next week.
Sister Gjika is officially an Active member now! She is a great woman. We hope that her husband, who is less active and used to be the branch president, will see how much the gospel is blessing her life, and will desire to become completely active again. They did, however, come to church as a family on Sunday! It was a precious sight to see.
We have not heard from Algida since she has returned the gospel principles manual. I expect a call any day now.
Florian, we have determined, is not at the moment ready for baptism. He still has much to learn, even though he has been taught nearly everything.
Oh! And New Years was AMAZING! I got some video of it, and I have a few pictures from another Elder who was in Lushnje. I mean, the world was BLOWING UP AROUND US! I can’t help but think that the Rawlings would have really enjoyed it. It reminded me of the time we went to their house on the 4th of July, except like, with 10,000 times more fireworks! We came in at 4:00pm, and we stayed up till midnight (with permission of course). We went on the top of our palati (apartment) and we saw the world begin exploding! People were shooting fireworks out of their apartment windows, shooting roman candles out of their windows! A man lit a GIANT BATTERY of FIREWORKS RIGHT IN FRONT OF US! Elder Anderl said that his thoughts when that happened were, “you know, I could probably die right now…” Big fireworks were exploding like 10 feet away from us. And it all got more spectacular as it approached midnight! It was spectacular! There is nothing like an Albanian New Year! That was more fireworks than I have ever seen in my entire life, not to mention in a single moment!!!
Well, we continue to work with Edi on his smoking problem. He has everything down except for that.
Well, the Gjika family invited us over for new years lunch. It was good. We had Qofte, stuffing, salad, turkey (which we saw her kill the day before. My companion got a video of her chopping off his head with a knife! It was flapping about with its head cut off for about 3 minutes, and her five year old daughter was having a hoot and a holler, laughing at it the entire time. Then she tried to cut off a leg, and it started flapping everywhere again and she couldn’t cut it off all the way yet. Eventually, it was dead.) It is a tradition to kill and eat turkey on new years. It is like out Christmas. She put some of the turkey stomach in the stuffing. It wasn’t bad, but knowing it was stomach made it difficult to eat. Then on Sunday she cooked us grilled fish. She took the fish, sliced to and cleaned out the guts, then grilled it over charcoal (scales, head and tail and all!) Then she served it to us, with lemon too. It wasn’t too bad, but it took a bit to get over the fact that it was looking and smiling at me. It also took a bit to get over the fact that I was eating the scales too!
It will be interesting training a new branch president. Elder Shields has been in the country for 1 year now. He is Branch president and District leader. It is interesting because 6 of out group, because of how large it is, it going co-senior this transfer, at 3 months in the country! Also, Motra Hiland is TRAINING the new sister at 3 months! I know they will have special experiences.
Well, I love all of you. It was wonderful to see you on Skype and talk with you! Ihope you get better Dad! Congrats Anna on your …productive night at work! And cool beans Ammon for being able to get through New Years! I just got the Christmas card from Linda, Grandma Nevins, The Browns, Sister Jensen, The Maloneys, and The Family. Thank you all for your kind words…And I’m sorry that I took away from your Christmas…. Thank you for the Package, I know that you sacrificed for that. Love you all, and have a HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Love, Elder Fredrickson
