" This week has been really really hectic. A lot of unexpected stuff happened this week which made it a very entertaining week. The first big things that happened was that the other Elders left there house because it's in really bad condition but the big problem was that the owner flipped out completely,lol. It was dumb because we even payed for the month of March even though they wont be staying there and she is still very unhappy with us. The other Elders are staying at our house until they find a new house but while we were trying to move their stuff to our house the owner (who is a women) locked us for Elders in the house and wouldn't let us leave until we payed her a bunch more money that she said we owned,lol. I was shocked. Albanians love to just yell and speak over one another so our local missionary Morava and the owner were just yelling and screaming at each other saying not very nice things. Then finally Elder Vance came in with a paper that showed our contract owned over a year ago and she still wouldn't let us out. So then i got angry because she locked us in the house so we call our mission president and he told us to tell her she better find a good lawyer and we'll get our lawyer and do it the hard way. She finally let us go but only let us take one bag and leave the rest as collateral that we would come back to talk with her. Finally on Friday we went back over and talked to her and a huge argument started again about how we owe her hundreds of dollars. We told her to call the cops if she was serious but she just finally went back in her house and we moved everything out. I hope i never see her again. So ya there are now 4 Elders in the Shkoder house and it's been a blast.... Second big thing that happened is that i got transferred back to Tirana!! I was way excited when i got the call i would be going back. I am back in 3rd branch which has been pretty slow for missionary work but i am excited to be back working with the members and i'm with Elder Weaver who i trained 10 or 11 months ago. I will be with him until the beginning of April and then the new Elders come in and i'll be training again i believe."
