Hand of the Lord moment just happened...Motra
Holt and I weren't sure if we'd have time at all to email today because
it was taking really long for us to move (we had to switch homes here
in Tirana) and we pulled up to our new house with all of the
luggage/furniture/etc.etc. and they were doing construction on our
driveway so we thought we wouldn't be able to get through to move in
after all. So I got out of the car to ask when they'd be finished and
the construction workers were so nice; they didn't let us carry a single
thing and they moved it all up the hill and on our porch in a matter of
10 minutes. God is good!
As for the
work... We found a super cool girl street contacting the other day so we
exchanged numbers and that night her husband called us! So we went over
to their home and taught them the Plan of Salvation. It was a really
cool experience because I haven't had the chance to teach a family the
Plan of Salvation lesson before and they loved it! They have an adorable
1 year old daughter and I'm so excited to keep working with them. Our
work is on the up-and-up and we are so busy it's a good problem to have!
To
kick off the "25 Days in 25 Ways" Christmas initiative of the church we
went to a retirement home to help out. Motra Holt and I went into a
little room and chatted with a little nene for over an hour; she
was the sweetest. We are definitely going back to meet with her again.
Highlight
of the week: E got baptized! It was such a good day. Motra Holt and I
were stressing out a little because E was adamant from the beginning
that the water would be warm and the water heater was broken... but she
still got in. She had to get dunked three times in the freeeezing water
though because her feet kept popping up out of the water! Then
yesterday she got the Holy Ghost and afterwards she bore a beautiful
testimony. She was just beaming after sacrament meeting. E's a huge
inspiration to me.
Something Albanian: Our
electricity goes out at least once a week for a couple hours so
sometimes we have to do our studies in the dark. Today when we were
moving the elevator didn't work for that reason so we carried everything
down six flights! Luckily we got a crew of elders to lend us some
hands.
Something spiritual: Our ward was
fasting for missionary work yesterday. Remember... every member a
missionary! “True Christianity is love in action. There is no better way
to manifest love for God than to show an unselfish love for your fellow
men. This is the spirit of missionary work” -President David O. McKay
Have a great week ju dua shume!
