A Glorious Week

November 15, 2021

Hello my people

Such a good week in Vlorë. 

Erik is going to get baptized on December 4!! Keep him in your prayers, we are really hoping he can make his date.

Our new friend Liv asked us for a book before we could even get one to her. She is so great!!!

Spent the week in a trio with my old companion and my companion I was supposed to be with!! This next month with sister eyre is about about be a BLAST. Today we dropped Sis Moessing off in Tirana and I got to see my girl Sister Çerepi before she leaves for her original assignment tomorrow. I am so proud of her, she is such a stud and I'm gonna MISS HER. 🥺💗

We spent a morning helping some members pick olives and the view was gorgeous. We got lost and overconfidently mapped ourselves up to the house. One of the cars made it up this insane road but the other car couldn't so we had to leave it behind for a few hours. The roads here are so wild hahah. A lady came up to us on the 4th attempt to get this little Hyundai up this steep and rocky road and said "you must stop, you will die". It was pretty funny. We stopped.

This week I recieved so many answers to prayers. I have been feeling stressed about leaving:( but in a super emotional personal study and an amazing exchange with Sister Johnson, I recieved so much closure and I feel good now!! The Lord does not leave us hanging, even when we feel like we have waited long for His answers. 

2 Nefi 26:15
And that he manifesteth himself unto all those who believe in him, by the power of the Holy Ghost; yea, unto every nation, kindred, tongue, and people, working mighty miracles, signs, and wonders, among the children of men according to their faith.

Look for how the Lord manifests Himself in your life. He has literally promised you that He will manifest Himself unto you according to your faith!! 💗

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 ...
