Promise and Samson

August 9 2021 

Quickie email update


Ok so today we felt prompted to have a lesson with a potential friend in the afternoon even though we had done our work hours in the morning, and it was one of my favorite lessons yet.  We planned to meet with just Promise, but he brought his friend Samson along too! They are both from Nigeria and have had to flee to Cyprus because of civil unrest. We started by asking them questions about their lives and how they got here. It was so raw and heartbreaking.  We had a really heartfelt conversation with them and then started talking about Christ. We read with them 2 Nephi 26:33 and talked about how we are all alike unto God. The Spirit was so strong!! I love love LOVE testifying of Christ and the unique opportunity I have every day to meet incredible and strong people from all over the world.

Also I want to thank all of you for your prayers and emails and messages especially these past few weeks!! Every email and message has been a tender mercy in my day. I love you all SO much!! And I will get back to you soon, I promise.  Pdays are very hectic around here!!

Have a fabulous week, tell me how I can pray for you!! Im serious!!

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 ...
