Wedding! (8/21/17)

After the wedding!! 

This week was a little stressful but it turned out GREAT! We were really busy just trying to prepare our friends, the Qela's, for baptism! The plan was to have them get married on Thursday or Friday then baptized on Saturday... but that would have been too easy you know? Ha the place was randomly closed over the weekend SO we had to wait until today! And we actually just got back from their "wedding" (It was more just going to the government offices to get a document) But it was so great! They were so happy and they are looking forward to their baptism which will be on Wednesday :) So I will have to keep you updated next week on that! We are so excited for them! But we are also a little upset because on Sunday they will be moving to Greece for a little bit because they got found some work there. We are so happy for them finding work there because jobs in Greece pay way more than Albania but we are sad that we wont be able to see them as much :/ 

Signing the wedding document! 

But their wedding was definitely the highlight of our week!! It wasn't anything special, just in an old run down government building but we could all feel the Spirit there! Heavenly Father was definitely very happy with their commitment to living the Gospel and to keep all of His commandments and prepare for baptism :) 

So other than that this week was just a lot of hard work. We have been keeping ourselves busy! We teach English course twice a week and hold a "Book of Mormon"-reading classing twice a week which is great. As well we help teach seminary once a week and young mens once a week so we are always just full of activities it is so great here! We are also working with some really really cool people that have a lot of potential to get baptized in September!! The work is rolling on here I love it!!

Also this weekend we had Zone Conference in Elbasan. It is my second to last one! Next one (Which will be in September) I will give my "Dying Testimony" Which is like my last testimony of my mission to all the missionaries! It is so weird how fast it has gone by. The end is near! But I still have a lot of work I need to do here these next 7 works so don't you worry I will keep myself busy until it is over ;) 

Also another really cool thing that we did this week was yesterday, right after church we drove to Ohrid, Macedonia to go to there church! They only have 1 member over there and she was giving her first talk so we went there to give her support! It was awesome she did such a good job! Then at church me and Elder Samuel did a musical number ha it was pretty good I thought but afterwards all of the members were just like "Wo Elder Samuel you are such an amazing singer!" And didn't say anything about me singing haha. But hey I thought I did good so that is all that really matters right? Ha it was a great week! 

                                                     Loving it here so much the mission is great!!
