First I'll explain my subject line.
"Bubushfaba" is cockroach in Albanian Gheg. This is my new favorite
word. There are quite a few cockroaches in our apartment right now so
lately we've been running around our apartment yelling BUBUSHFABA and
smacking them with our flip flops. Random I know but there's your
Albanian word for the week!
Funny story: So we
were cleaning the church on Saturday, like we do every week. I decided
to clean the balcony outside to wipe down the windows. Our senior
couple, the Larson's, had a special key and they unlocked the door for
me so I could get out onto the balcony. After the Larson's unlocked the
door they got in there car and drove away. So I was outside minding my
business wiping down the windows and some elders came up to the balcony
doors from the inside of the church. They started messing with the lock
and joking around until... yup they locked me out! Luckily I was only
stuck on the balcony for 20 min, they got the Larson's to drive back to
the church to free me :).
Something Marvelous:
We taught our friend D this week. She wants to be baptized but she
really struggles with coming to church because she has work every
Sunday. So we read some scriptures out of the Book of Mormon to try to
help her with her problem. After reading the scriptures she felt a lot
better about it and committed to pray about this roadblock that she's
facing. It was amazing to see her faith in the scriptures. She truly
took them to heart. As a mission we've really been focusing on the Book
of Mormon and it's importance in our teaching efforts. I know that the
Book of Mormon along with the spirit is the most powerful converting
tool that we have. Along with Elder Holland I know that "No wicked man
could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it....
unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so." I know that
the Book of Mormon is true, and therefore I know that Joseph Smith was a
prophet, this gospel is true, and we have a living-day prophet
directing the church today!
Love you guys and have a great week!
