Goat Liver

July 19 2021

Hi!💜

So many good things this week. 

My favorite scripture this week was Enos 4:
    4 And my soul hungered; and I kneeled down before my Maker, and I cried unto him in mighty prayer and supplication for mine own soul; and all the day long did I cry unto him; yea, and when the night came I did still raise my voice high that it reached the heavens.

The first thing I love about this is "my soul hungered". Sometimes I think we crave spirituality and we dont even know it. It is so important to nourish our souls because we are first and foremost spirits who miss out Heavenly Parents.

I also love at the end when Enos tells us that his voice "reached the heavens". I have a testimony that when we pray with purpose, our voices are truly heard in Heaven.

Sister Johnson and I laughed through this whole week, espeeeecially one lunch wherr we got traditional food.  I could have sworn that "Tave Dheu" was amazing. Turns out it was not. It is goat liver. Sorry Sister J.  Shouldn't have let you take that big bite, I owe ya.

One morning on our run we were about to turn back when I had to go to the bathroom and it became apparent I was not going to make it home in time. We asked the first person we saw to use their bathroom!! He was a nice old man who let us use the bathroom, introduced us to his neighbors, and then felt so bad he didnt have any food or drinks to give us. Albanians are the most welcoming and loving people on earth.

I love love 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 ...
