God is Good

November 29, 2021

Hi!! 

Lots of miracles and touches of God this week.

This week:
Miranda accepted the invite to keep the word of wisdom before we could even invite her.
Had a magical Thanksgiving with the district!!
Ate funfetti cake and celebrated my bday with my favorite people. 
Moved literal boulders across a members property for 3 hours in the rain and decided I am not cut out for manual labor. Sorry dad.
Had a really cool lesson with a YSA member about questions and finding answers in the gospel.

So many good things this week I wish I could share them all!

Miranda told us in one of our lessons that we need to be talk about 3 things when finding a husband: physical health, mental health, and if they are involved in any blood fueds.  Sometimes I forget I'm living in a country where family blood fueds are a reality hahaha. 

I know God lives and He loves us!! He is engaged in our lives and constantly talking to us. Look for him:)

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 ...
