Tungjatejetaaaa

This week was great!! Switch of plans, I was in a trio for a few days and now I'm serving with sister moessing until sister eyre can come down and serve with me in Vlorë! We had zone conference this week and got 8 new albanian speaking missionaries which is huge!!! It was so fun to see a lot of my missionary friends that I hadn't seen since before I went to Cyprus. 

We had a great show out in church yesterday!! Our friends came 🥲 and a bunch of returning members too!! Even though the meeting consisted of an old woman reading the restoration pamphlet from front to back as her talk, and me and sister moessing practically performing a duet for each hymn, I really felt so at home.  

I got the second dose of Pfizer wooo!! When I got my first dose, they had run out of paper and wrote everything down on a scratch paper. Fortunately I took a picture of the scratch paper before I left because when we finally found their new location this week, they had lost my paper! The nurses gave us grapes and tried to set us up with their sons. They made us promise we would come back!! I love Albanians so much they are so loving and so hilarious hahaha. Really hoping I can get some type of paperwork to prove I'm vaccinated 

We had a lesson with a guy named Markelian who lives Sweden with my cutie friend Sister Newitt!! It was definitely one of the best online lessons I've had. And it was SO fun to see one of my favorite people and hear her speak her language!!

The Lord has blessed us so much this week. People are letting us in and even inviting us over, WILD. His hand truly is in every detail. We are so blessed ah! 

In one of the books I've been reading lately it says: "we sin when our hearts are sinful, no matter what we do on the surface." The Atonement changes me every day and I am so grateful that I know about it. Spreading the good word of the gospel is such a JOY!

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...
