Weeks 5 and 6!!

 August 5, 2020

Hi everyone!! 

3 weeks left and I'm so excited to get to the field!! 

Alma 37:36- I know that if something is important to you, it is important to Heavenly Father! Prayer is amazing! Pray to Him in all things because He IS listening and wants to communicate with you! 

A few of the elders and sisters in my district have been up in SL this week, and it’s been really fun to finally meet them! We climbed Mount Olympus this morning as a group. Someone said “Motra Munns, I love you but this is horrible” Hahaha. 7ish hours later we pulled back into the driveway. Fun times though! Hopefully my district isn’t too bugged with me and Motra Johnson for our choice of hike. But it has really been so fun to be around other missionaries learning Albanian, and SO FUN having two fellow sisters staying at my house! Makes me even more anxious for the field. 

Love you all!!

December 21, 2020  Hellooo everyone! A great quarantine week! -Stunning hike @Bovila -I went back to Berat for DONA'S baptism!   She is such a light and I admire her so so much.   -Online lesson with Aina who is getting baptized on Saturday!! Quarantine has been really good;  staying obedient even in hard situations brings SHUMË blessings. We have literally seen miracles this week. I feel so close to Heavenly Father, even though I sometimes feel very far from my family and loved ones! I am reading in 3 Nephi right now and I am always touched by when the Nephites hear His voice for the first time. 3 Nephi 11:3: "They heard a voice as if it came out of heaven... and not withstanding it being a small voice it did pierce them that did hear to the center, insomuch that there was no part of their frame that it did not cause to quake; yea, it did burn them to the very soul, and did cause their hearts to burn." This is so powerful because we truly feel closest to h...

Work for the Blessings...Am I Right?

November 9, 2020  Hii!! I felt so happy to be a missionary this week, so many good things happened! We are teaching a young mom right now, Dona. We invited Dona to church and told her we would walk with her. When we showed up to her house on Sunday she had brought her mom and sons!! After, on the way home she told us that she wanted to be baptized, like really soon. It was amazing!! One of my favorite things about teaching people the gospel is watching the Spirit change their demeanor. You can see a light in their eyes. I LOVE IT. At a lesson with our neighbors this week (!!!) a lady gave me some green olives and olive oil. Yum right? Mm well, green olives straight off the tree are nottt edible. And i learned that a few weeks ago harvesting olives when I tried one! So. I ate the supppper bitter olive and smiled through the pain. Then she told me to drink the olive oil.  Did you know that drinking olive oil keeps you safe from Covid? Me neither. It was an interesting lesson to ...
