My stomach is still churning from
lunch... we went to a traditional restaurant and the elders ordered us a
big plate of "the best chicken in Berat" but after the first bite Motra
Godfrey and I could tell it definitely wasn't your average chicken..
after prodding the elders a bit they confessed that it was lamb brains.
Yuck!
As for this week.. we were out on the
streets trying to find more people to teach. Tender mercy the weather
has been around 60 so I can't complain. On Saturday we didn't have any
lessons so that morning we planned to walk from one side of Berat to the
other and made the goal to talk to EVERY woman we passed. For every
woman we didn't greet we had to do a push up for them that night. I was
pretty sore after that night... just kidding we did well with our goal!
We
have a member named A who has a son named P. He will turn eight
in June and wants to be baptized but since there isn't a set Primary
class to prepare him for it we have started going over to their house to
start preparing him. We had our first lesson with him last week and
gave him his own Book of Mormon. A few days later A told us that
P never let go of the book! He found a little satchel and brought
the BOM with him to school and everywhere he went. I love that kid!
Food
for thought: Last week Maddie sent me a quote from Mother Teresa that I
really love. "I know God won't give me anything I can't handle. I just
wish He didn't trust me so much." Whatever we are given in life is for
our own good; he entrusts us with hardships, challenges, etc. because He
knows that we will be made stronger through them. So, as my mom has
always said.... "Let Go and Let God."
