Përshëndetja,
This week was absolutely,
completely, nuts! We held two big activities for the branch this week.
On Friday we hosted an Easter Feast where we prepared a full course meal
for about forty members and friends. Then on Saturday we took a bus to
Osumi Canyon. It was about a four hour drive plus curvy, windy roads
plus it was hot hot hot so all of the Albanians got very car sick. We
missionaries were following behind the bus in our car and we kept seeing
grocery bags thrown out of the bus windows infront of us. One of the
senior couple missionaries, Elder Dabell, didn't appreciate the
littering so he pulled us over to grab a grocery bag out of a bush. It
was a bad idea, the grocery bags were just filled with smelly digested
lunch.. if you know what I mean. Nonetheless we had a good time and saw
some amazing views, pics attached!
Our branch
president introduced us to a few of his neighbors so we met with them
several times this week. They are amazing - L, A and T!
Yesterday we held a special fast and testimony meeting in church and
showed the Prince of Peace video before testimonies. L hopped up and
offered her testimony when it was only her second time at church. The
spirit was so strong as everyone shared their testimonies of the Savior.
Oftentimes as a missionary, at least for me, church is one of the most
stressful times of the week; therefore, this moment when I felt the
spirit strongly was so special.
I'd like to
share one of my favorite scriptures from Christ: "Have ye any that are
sick among you? Bring them hither. Have ye any that are lame, or blind,
or halt, or maimed, or leprous, or that are withered, or that are deaf,
or that are afflicted in any manner? Bring them hither and I will heal
them, for I have compassion upon you; my bowels are filled with mercy." -
3 Nephi 17:7. Christ is merciful and He loves us all so much. When He
was in Jerusalem and among the Nephites He healed people physically and
spiritually and He does the same for us today. I know that Christ has
the power to heal and improve us.
Ju dua!

started playing with it and said it was safe. They were cool so they let
us hold it. |
