Hello hello!!
This week was such a great week!
Highlights from this week:
First off, I now eat tomatoes. Like on my own free
will. They actually are quite delicious to my tongue taste buds.
We went to Kruje today. It is absolutely gorgeous up
there! We went to the top of this building and we could see the entire city
plus some. It was amazing.
We saw a Dasëm (Albanian wedding). They were
celebrating it at the bottom level of the apartment, and we had to go upstairs,
so we just smiled and joined the dance line as we walked to the stairs to go
upstairs.

I am not sweating as much... that is always a good
thing.
Okay, the big highlight of this entire week is how
the week went. This week was amazing. I am not gonna lie, August was a hard
month. It was way hard. We weren't finding any new investigators and it seemed
like no matter how hard we tried it wasn't doing anything. We decided to fast
on Wednesday for help from our Heavenly Father so that we could find those
people who have been prepared to hear our message and also that we could have
this discouragement go away. It is amazing what fasting can do. I have such a
stronger testimony of fasting since coming on a mission. I know that fasting
does work; and that God is aware of our needs and that He does answer prayers.
This weekend has been amazing. We have found 3 new investigators, we had such
amazing lessons this weekend, and this weekend just went so well. And I know
that it is only because of the fact that God does hear and answer our prayers
and that He also is aware of our fasts. I don't know if I can adequately
describe how this weekend has felt, seeing the Lord's hand helping us doing His
work, it has been so humbling. I feel like being a missionary when talking to
people and when telling them about this Gospel, this wonderful blessing that we
have that will change their lives, I want to say so much to them. I want them
to realize how good this is for them. I just want to go up on the Mountain Tops
and say for all to hear: "This message is true! The Book of Mormon is
True!" but, when we testify or teach people about this message, they are
able to feel it. The Holy Ghost I think gives them that feeling of peace that
has been missing from their lives, but at the same time is so familiar to them,
because it comes from God.

I realized this week how amazing this is. I am a
missionary. In Albania. I can't get over it. I love what I am doing here. I
love it soo much!! I think one of the best feelings in the world is knowing
that you are doing exactly what you are supposed to be doing, and that is the
feeling that I have being here. I know without a doubt that the Book of Mormon
is true. It can and will change your live, you only have to give it the chance
to do it.
