O Family! --- May 13th

 The falls from last week


Macedonia!
Today has been a great day. We are in Macedonia for the day, and it has been so fun to just explore. Dad asked me yesterday if the church was here like in the 1960's and it really just wasn't. Macedonia was just opened for missionary work again last April 6, 2012. The first missionaries since Paul was here. It really is the very beginning of the work here and it's never been here before. I love being apart of it and serving the people in these great countries. Macedonia is very beautiful also.
The girls from left to right: Valmira, Me, Dafina, Aferdita, Motra Forte.
I really do love being a missionary. Something Wade wrote me last week was that we have to be humble and willing to learn and gain testimonies. I know that this really is the way it works. With Dafina she is very smart and is studying to be an Engineer. Alot of math. She analyzes everything and has a really hard time feeling the spirit and opening her heart to learn through the Holy Ghost. I know that this is the most powerful kind of knowledge we could ever recieve. I have studied about knowledge alot lately and have realized that the knowledge we recieve through the spirit is the hidden knowledge promised to us in the scriptures. That kind of knowledge is always the most powerful. I hope we can continue to be really in tune with the spirit to know how to best help Dafina and Aferdita really progress to be baptised on the 31st. It really will take a miracle, but I believe in Miracles.
 
The people here really are so great. I love seeing the Light glow inside of their eyes as they read the scriptures and feel the spirit. It really is such a special oppertunity and experience. I'm so grateful to be here. 
 
Stinkin' good ice cream bars that they have here. So much chocolate!!
 
Love you all! Hope you all had a wonderful Mother's day. I'm grateful for your examples of mothers to me.
