"We call this an AK47"

 Hello people!!

I don't have much time so I will share a few moments!

-My comp and I played soccer with the branch and a bunch of short Albanian men. They were going so hard haha it was pretty funny.

-Someone took my wallet, ditched it a few blocks away, and then a police man found and returned it!! With EVERYTHING in it. Bless up.

-We found some super promising people this week!! AND we had 3 less actives come to church! The little things.

-The branch president light-heartedly told us that rules are made for breaking and my companion went OFF. He then decided that 80% of rules should be kept. It was so funny. I was laughing very hard.

-We had to drive up a super rough dirt road to get to some members house.  The last two times missionaries have gone up there they have popped a tire/gotten stuck!  Against all odds... we made it!

-Someone that we know here (can't say names bc it is apparently super not legal hahaha) found a ton of weapons at the end of the civil war, including an AK47 and some hand grenades.  Today he showed us how to disassemble them hahaha. It was interesting..

I have been reading Jesus the Christ this week, and I have found so much joy in learning more about my Savior.  I know that when we draw near to Him, He will ALWAYS draw near unto us. Every good thing is because of Him.  

Mosiah 16:9- He is the light and life of the world; yea, a light that is endless, that can never be darkened

2 Nephi 26:24- He doeth not anything save it be for the benefit of the world, for he loveth the world, even that he layeth down his own life that he may draw all men unto him.

Jesus Christ is the way to happiness!

Also, i LOVE receiving emails from all of you! They brighten my week so much. I'm sorry that I can't respond to them, I have such limited time on p-days!! But thank you thank you.

I love you all! Have amazing weeks.

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...

Elevators and Real Quarantine!

December 14, 2020 Howdy Everyone, We spent the first bit of this week in quarantine, but have been out since Wednesday!!  We just found out a few minutes ago that the whole mission is now in quarantine! Woot woot haha! Earlier this week, on one of our evening quarantine walks, we found ourselves smack dab in a protest.  Cops shot a man who broke Covid curfew and everyone is upset about it, among other things.  Crazy stuff happening over here!  The next day our mission pres set a curfew for all the missionaries, so now we are all in by 6.  No more protesting for us;) We have been handed SO many projects in the past week.  Pretty funny I am a tech specialist because I cannot even work this stinking samsung hahaha.  Learning a lot over here.  But we have had to text almost every single missionary in the mission about assignments for a virtual fireside or about the facebook page in the last week.  Most people we have texted at least 3 times....

November 16, 2020 Hello people!!! Transfers! I am headed out of my cute mountain town Berat and to ... TIRANA (Capital of Albania)!   I will be comps with Sister Bezzant and I am so stoked. I have loved Berat and the members here. SUCH FUNNY PEOPLE. I will also miss my companion, sister Cermeli. She is a hoot.  I am really sad to be leaving Dona! She accepted her bap date this week and will be baptized mid-December. I am so stoked for her; she is so ready!  Sister Johnson and I had an exchange in Korçe this week and it was #lit. We gave a lesson all by ourselves in Albanian and it went REALLY WELL #miracle. Korçe feels like real Europe, Sis Johnson,  you are living the high life. I found imported DIET COKE this week!!  It was like an early birthday present from Heavenly Father. Looks like He celebrates birthday month as well ;).  I literally bought 20 cans, my MSF took a blow to say the least. Albanian old people are actually crazy. It is the best thin...
