Call me Jerry 🤪

Whattt a week! Started with sis bezzant leaving to serve with my other best friend sis johnson in korca!! Love and miss them so much #oof. I am now serving with Sis Anderson from my mtc group! She is a hoot. On Saturday we got a ~macedonian~ addition, and now we are a trio! Sis Guy is here until her visa goes through and she is allowed to go back to Macedonia! A trio has been sooo fun so far and we are hoping she will stay with us a little while:).

It has been really fun not depending on anyone else's language skills. I have been talking and learning so much which is a huge plus. We have been on that less active grind this week. We have had some WILD lessons hahaha.

Highlights from my craziest lesson yet:

-"I saw Jesus, and he has strong arms"

-"I hear the angels fighting in heaven every night when I sleep"

-"Satan knocked on my door one day and grabbed my arm. God grabbed my other arm and I was okay."

We love Albanian old people.

Today for pday we went to Cape Redon. But this time we took a route up on the ridges of the mountain. It was the most ovegrown trail I have ever been on hahaha. It has been raining for days, so on top of curtains of thorns, it was SO slippery. I got absolutely wrecked no thanks to my old vans I was wearing. Ripped clothes, cuts everywhere, and a very muddy rear. My wipeouts could've made it on Jerryoftheday. Good times.

A few times this week I found myself feeling pretty down and lonely. But as a missionary more than ever before, I have realized that it is silly of me to try to carry my stress and struggles by myself. Even though I have hard days, serving my Savior has brought me more happiness and appreciation for Him than I could imagine!

I have a testimony that He will pick you up, even if you feel like you are tripping over the tiniest obstacles.

D&C 68:6

Wherefore, be of good cheer, and do not fear, for I the Lord am with you, and will stand by you; and ye shall bear record of me, even Jesus Christ, that I am the Son of the living God, that I was, that I am, and that I am to come.

Ju dua shumë, vitë të mbarë!!!
