How crazy it is to think about how Christmas is next week.
That my wonderful, inspiring, lovely, precious, and even-so-much-more Trainer is
going home on the 30th of this month. I love Sister L with all my heart.
This is just an amazing example how that because I made the choice to serve a
mission here in the Adriatic South Mission, I am being so blessed with people
and experiences that will be with me throughout my whole life. AHHHH! I just love
my mission! I love the people I come in contact with!
This week was amazing! I learned so much. First, President
gave us a goal to have 20 lessons for this week. This was an awesome challenge
that Sister L and I took to heart and accepted to do our best efforts to
achieve that goal everyday as we planned. As we put forth the effort, we
noticed how the hand of the Lord was working in our lives. It was just another
witness how if we put forth that effort in the Lord, He is ALWAYS going to help
us. More than we think we even need.
I saw this also when I went on my exchange this week with
the Sister Training Leaders. They are such gifts to the sisters of this
mission. I am eternally grateful for their wisdom, insights, and example they
give us everyday. I love them with all my heart. I see how much they want to do
God's will. I strive to inherit that trait in my life, along with the others
that they have. As I was with Sister B, I learned honestly so much.
Especially in the training. We talked about how choice and accountability go
hand in hand and how when we gain responsibility, we need to do our part and
not make excuses for the things that we don't end up doing what was asked of
us.
Something else that happen was that this last week we were
able to meet with this girl that is from France... WAIT WHAT? I know! crazy to
think that all the way in Albania a person could teach someone from France.
Anyway, so we gave her a French Book of Mormon and she told us right off she
was not interested in joining but was just curious about our church (She is a
strong Catholic). As we taught her about prayer, the spirit was so strong. I
could feel God's love for her and how He wants to hear from her. It is like
that with all of His children. We ALL matter to HIM!
So this last Sunday I gave my first talk ever. It was about Christmas (Krishtlindje). Well, half way through, the mic went out and it was
really funny actually! I love the people of our ward. I love this gospel. The
spirit that it brings is one of the best feelings and joys that I have felt in
my life. I am so grateful for my Savior and that because of the Atonement,
others can start fresh again.
Thank you for all your love and support. :)
