Hi family!
This week has been so great... and so busy! We traveled to Vlorë
this week to do an exchange with the sisters there. I came back to work
here in Fier with Motra Flores and Motra Wendt stayed in Vlorë, her
favorite city, for the exchange. It went really well and was really fun.
We kept working hard all week long and taught lots of wonderful lessons
and met lots of wonderful people! Our English courses here have been
really successful. Lots of people are coming and listen politely as we
discuss a piece of Faith at the end. It is awesome. We've been able to
meet with lots also outside of English which is so good.
One in particular came to the baptism service Saturday
with her daughter and daughters friend. I had a lesson with her and the
Sister senior couple here Motra Bott, before the baptism while Motra
Wendt helped Bela get ready. We talked about what baptism was and why
these people had chosen to be baptized and it went really well. Mosiah
18: 8-11. One of my favorite scriptures about baptism. I always want to
clap my hands and shout for joy just like the scripture when people
choose to be baptized!
Bela's baptism turned out SO good. There were also 2
others that got baptized with her that the Elders had been teaching. It
was super special to have 3 baptisms together. Lots of the Branch came
and the spirit was so strong. After the baptism itself all 3 bore their
testimonies and each one was so special. I love to hear their feelings
just after they are baptized. So clean! So pure! Sunday
was likewise as beautiful. President and Sister Ford came for church
here in Fier and we had a big turn out! 48 I think. We are making our
way up to our 65 goal in Decemeber!! :) The Confirmations were so great!
The Elders did so well... even Elder Linderman that just got here a
month ago gave a beautiful prayer in Albanian! It's amazing how the
spirit works... so amazing!

| I love you a lot graffiti in Vlore. |
I love being a missionary and helping others learn
about the Saviors love, and God's plan of Salvation! I'm also thankful
that I get to be baptized each week as I partake of the sacrament and
repent of my mistakes. I also can be clean! pure!
It's a miracle!
Me dashuri,
Motra Hoover
