Buuusy week!! Sis Moessing is so great. Vlorë rocks. God loves His kids.


Pictures/highlights:

1) Super great member lunch with a couple in our ward!! Lots of yummy traditional food and fun times with our Vlorë elders who unfortunately got moved out of Vlorë after one week due to housing problems. Back to figuring out how to teach all the  male referrals we have!

2) Found a book of Mormon in a Cafe library and added our testimonies to it. 

3) Buying produce on the side of the highway!

4) Found a pumpkin!! And a coke 0!! 

5) In a crazy turn of events Sister Johnson, Sister Xheka, and I all happened to be in Vlorë and went to lunch!! We spent most of the lunch talking about how America is "too developed" and how Sister J looks like "the most beautiful actress". Honestly, amen.

6) We went back go visit our ladies at the vaccination place!! They were so happy to see us but now they REALLY want us to marry their sons. 

7) This picture was taken moments before some guy came up and bought us the flowers we were admiring haha! We had been talking for a few days about how we want to buy some flowers for our house. The Lord works in funny ways:)

8) Picture taken on one of our long escapades to try to track down members lol. Albania is beautiful!! 

We saw so many miracles this week but CHURCH was the crown of them all!! We had 12 members come to church this week who haven't came in a very long time, and they were all the members we had been praying for and working with!! It was an answer to prayers and questions on a lottt of levels. 

A quote from the bombest district council training we had this week, "Realizing how your trials profit you brings you closure, realizing how your trials profit others brings you joy."  We all struggle.  Let your trials not only strengthen you but ALSO connect you to other people! Hug a little tighter and smile a little more!! I love you all oh so much. Tell me how I can pray for you, seriously  email me!! 

Xx me dashuri, Motra Mënz

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...
