She was a sk8r girl

Hi hi hi

Great, busy week!! We had zone conference over zoom, jeez I miss meetings in person hahaha.

On weds we went to Korça and had an exchange which was super fun.  Sister Bezzant and Sister Johnson are the best. Annnnd it was super snowy and cold down there, felt like home!! Because Korça is so far, we spent two nights and left early fri morning.  Last time I had an exchange with Johnson was during our training transfers and we had no idea what we were doing haha. It was soo fun to be serving together again for a day and see how much more we love our missions and Albania in general now. 

This week Aina brought her skateboard to our lesson.  We were walking to get a treat and I decided to use her skateboard.  In my mind it seemed like a great idea! Throwback to my (approximately 14) skate days at BYU.. Anyways, I ate it HARD. The type of fall where your face hits the pavement before your hands. Hahaha it was so funny. I tried to redeem myself afterwards but Aina wouldnt let me near her skateboard.  Maybe next week.

We finally made an instagram page for Albania!! Eeee! It has been a long time coming but we finally did it. I know that we are gonna start seeing a lot of success with the facebook and insta pages. Super exciting.

The SUN CAME OUT IN TIRANA this week!! While I love the rain, it was about time. 

Yesterday we met the elders and a few friends/members at all 3 churches in our area for sacrament, and it was so fun. There really is no better part of a mission than meeting Albanians. They really are the best people.

At district council I made everyone try Diet Coke, Coke Zero and normal Coca Cola.  I was getting worried I wouldnt be able to discern my beloved DC from the others, but turns out it's not hard to pick treasure from trash hahaha.

D&C 14:9
Behold, I am Jesus Christ, the Son of the living God, who created the heavens and the earth, a light which cannot be hid in darkness;
Everything around us denotes that there is a supreme and divine creator! Christ truly is a light that can never be conquered  I have been trying to live and love little moments lately and to appreciate the light of Christ which is all around us.

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...

Elevators and Real Quarantine!

December 14, 2020 Howdy Everyone, We spent the first bit of this week in quarantine, but have been out since Wednesday!!  We just found out a few minutes ago that the whole mission is now in quarantine! Woot woot haha! Earlier this week, on one of our evening quarantine walks, we found ourselves smack dab in a protest.  Cops shot a man who broke Covid curfew and everyone is upset about it, among other things.  Crazy stuff happening over here!  The next day our mission pres set a curfew for all the missionaries, so now we are all in by 6.  No more protesting for us;) We have been handed SO many projects in the past week.  Pretty funny I am a tech specialist because I cannot even work this stinking samsung hahaha.  Learning a lot over here.  But we have had to text almost every single missionary in the mission about assignments for a virtual fireside or about the facebook page in the last week.  Most people we have texted at least 3 times....

November 16, 2020 Hello people!!! Transfers! I am headed out of my cute mountain town Berat and to ... TIRANA (Capital of Albania)!   I will be comps with Sister Bezzant and I am so stoked. I have loved Berat and the members here. SUCH FUNNY PEOPLE. I will also miss my companion, sister Cermeli. She is a hoot.  I am really sad to be leaving Dona! She accepted her bap date this week and will be baptized mid-December. I am so stoked for her; she is so ready!  Sister Johnson and I had an exchange in Korçe this week and it was #lit. We gave a lesson all by ourselves in Albanian and it went REALLY WELL #miracle. Korçe feels like real Europe, Sis Johnson,  you are living the high life. I found imported DIET COKE this week!!  It was like an early birthday present from Heavenly Father. Looks like He celebrates birthday month as well ;).  I literally bought 20 cans, my MSF took a blow to say the least. Albanian old people are actually crazy. It is the best thin...
