Surprise!! Going back to Albania tomorrow morning!! I will be in Vlore in southern Albania with a younger sister named Sister Green and it is going to be a blaaast! 

My last few days in Cyprus were magical. I am honored that I had the privilege to work with refugees here. I have met some of my favorite people and they have taught me SO MUCH. The goodbyes were really hard!! Something about saying bye to them felt a lot more final than a lot of my other goodbyes on my mission, their lives are so uncertain. But at almost every single teary farewell, I was told that God will bring us together again if we keep the faith.  These people are so cool and so faithful.

Franck our adorable friend from the Congo who we have been teaching in French is getting baptized in 2 weeks! He is the most prepared person I have met on my mission, and we feel the Spirit so strongly when we are with him.

God is in the details. 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 SHUMร‹ 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 ...
