Big American

February 1 2021

Hi hi everyone!

Goooood week. We called through our old investigator list this week, and it went sooo well.  We had a lot of funny calls including a lady who screeeamed at us because she was in bed. So rude of us! Calling at 530 smh. But the rest of them went verrry well. We met with a few of them and have plans to meet with a few more!! We are stoked. 

We had exchanges this week and I was with Sister Davis, my grandma. It was so fun I am a big fan of exchanges. During one of our lessons, a member told us how we could do pregnancy tests with garlic. She also told us that if you rub a half onion on your foregead, your headaches will go away. The more you learn, eh!

On exchanges a member family was asking where the "small american" was (sister anderson), so I guess that makes me the big american? 

Fun fact about Sister Anderson:
She always has snacks in her backpack.
It is the best thing haha.

I love being here and being a missionary. Life is so good! Albanians are the best people on Earth.  Come visit Albania, people! 

D&C 11:12
And now, verily, verily, I say unto thee, put your trust in that Spirit which leadeth to do good—yea, to do justly, to walk humbly, to judge righteously; and this is my Spirit.

Lately I've been overwhelmed with gratitude for the gift of the Holy Ghost. Jeez what a gift! Spiritual gifts are so interesting to me, if anyone has any cool knowledge or insights, email me!!!

I love and miss you all! Thanks for the prayers and love xoxoxo

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 ...
