Quarantine and Green Coke

December 7, 2020

Hello people!!!

We are in quarantine! Luckily not permanent... yet. We were with some missionaries who have Covid so we have had wayy too many inside days this week! If everything goes according to plan, we will be set free on Wednesday! 

This week was good, difficult in different ways for sure. We had some exchanges planned but had to cancel them, and we have a lot we are supposed to be doing with the mission FB page but have no wifi at our apartment! It has been a much slower week than usual. But it has been great for language study! 

I have loved seeing everyone #lighttheworld. I am so grateful for all you and the lights you are in my life.

Some exciting things this week: 

Our cutie investigator Aina FINALLY got permission from her dad to be baptized!! Missionaries have been working with her for over a year. Such a miracle. 

Bezzant and I tried "Green Coke" and Diet is still the best.

I have found that Albanians have their own words for "Dumbledore" and "Muggle." 

A scripture:
Mosiah 23:28 "Therefore they hushed their fears, and began to cry unto the Lord."

I know that when we pray to Heavenly Father, we tap into divine power.  I have found real happiness and comfort in my prayers this week. I am endlessly grateful that I can talk to my Heavenly Father at any time!! 

I 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 ...
