Me, Samuel, Selami, and Leta!

Man, this week was so special! We were able to see so many
blessings in our work and the hand of the Lord in so many different ways! Okay
so first I will talk about our friends, Selami and Leta. So we have been
teaching them for a while and they are progressing really well! We recently
found out though that they have been living together for about 10 years and
they are not married.. So we were pretty nervous about teaching them about the
Law of Chastity. But we prepared for it well and really worked hard to have the
Spirit with us when we taught it, and it definitely was! It was amazing!! So we
started off by showing them pictures of our families and telling them about our
families and stuff then we read the Family Proc. with them and they loved it!
They said that they wanted to frame it and hang it up and stuff.

Then we taught
them about Temples and being married in the Temple and what it meant and stuff
and I showed them a picture of Zach and Makail on their wedding day in front of
the Temple and they got really emotional because of it and have set a goal for
them to get married in the Temple one day.. And they realized it takes steps
and the first step was to live the commandments and so they decided to get
married on the 17th so they will be able to be baptized on the 26th! It was SO
awesome. The Spirit was so strong and they were so happy with their choice to
follow the commandments and get baptized. We are so excited for them and they
have asked us to be their witness's as they go get married then we are going to
throw them a party at the church after their wedding so we are really looking
forward to that day! I will keep you updated :) And the quote that is my title
for this blog post was a quote from Leta! The Gospel brings happiness!

S/O Zach and Makail for being adorable

We have also started to teach this lady named Violeta, who
we met because she came to our English course. She came to church last Sunday and
loved it so much!! She told us about how she has never felt such a fullness of
the Spirit than she did at our church. Which was just so cool to me because
when she came we only had like 12 people at church and we meet in this little
room on a hotel building... The church is true kids :) It is really special to
be able to serve here though! It really just shows me that it doesn't matter
where you are, you can always feel the Spirit if you are doing whats right!
Anyway this week we taught her some great lessons. We taught her about the Plan
of Salvation and I love teaching that lesson every time. She just kept on
saying stuff like "Wow I did not know that at all!" And you can just
see them light up with hope as we teach them about the after-life it is really
special every time.
Also on a lot less Spiritual note me and Elder Samuel took a
trip to the other side of the lake to Ohrid, Macedonia to get hair cuts.. We
can now tell people that we went to another country just to get haircuts... We
are pretty cool I know.

Anyway I am loving it here so much! I am so blessed that I
am able to serve in such an amazing area as my last area! I love being a
missionary here so much!
Hope you have a great week!
