Music = Lots of Spirit, Lots of light! -- Oct. 28th

Hi family!

This week was so wonderful!! I loved it! It was the greatest thing ever to be back in Kosovo and I got to teach all my wonderful girls up there! The spirit was so awesome and I love them all very much! I always pray for them and I just know miracles are always happening in that wonderful place. We had lots of great lessons and I don't know if I've ever smiled so much I was so happy! ha. We did the FHE lesson on Monday night and it all just kept getting better and better. My favorite thing ever this week was my lessons with Aferdita and Dafina! They were both so wonderful! All about the Savior, faith! God's promises, and working with God to solve our problems. I really felt that because I had prayed a lot and prepared for them that The Savior spoke through me! Just like in 2 Nephi 32, when it says that through the Holy Ghost we can speak like Angles... which speak the words of Christ! I thought of things and was able to say things that I had never even thought of before myself. The spirit was strong in my heart and I felt so good knowing I did my best and that I really was an instrument in the Lord's hands for those special girls! I believe in Miracles! Driving there and back made me thankful for America... The American Soldiers built the road that connects Albania and Kosovo and it is... Amazing!! I never drove so lushly... ha. :)

So in Fier... with lots of our lessons lately we have been singing a hymn with the people we teach. Especially the Less Actives/Returning Member lessons that we do. It has made such a huge difference in their light and the spirit in the rooms we are in! It has opened my eyes even more of the power of music and how quickly the spirit comes when good music is sung and/or heard! I have always loved being woken up on Sunday mornings by Church music blasting upstairs. My mom knows best! :) I never woke up angry or mirezitur! Always happy! I love music and I'm so glad that Albanians do too! 

I love you all very much! Have a super great week full of scares!!! :) I love that here in Albania the people have heard of Halloween forever but don't do anything. So when the church does things it is really fun for people. We had a YM/YW activity on Saturday and carved Watermelons, because orange pumpkins simply just don't exist here. ha. It really worked though! and they all loved it! We are also going to have a carnival Halloween party for everyone on Thursday. I'm really excited. Lots of the girls Saturday were so excited and said that they had never celebrated Halloween before! They loved it! and it will only get better... :) Happy Halloween! 

Me dashuri,

 The Pjetri family!!! All at church again. The Elders that now teach them got the dad on a baptism date! It's miraculous!! They look so good! I'm so happy for them!
