O, Familja!
I love being a missionary and helping lost people
learn about love and happiness. God's plan is so perfect! I"m so
grateful I have a far better understanding of it all now, and I'm also
grateful that my knowledge will only continue to grow larger!
Being a missionary is quite the experience.
Sometimes you think... this is what missionaries do... cool. :) I love
simply stopping people in the streets and talking to them about the Book
of Mormon and that we are all God's children. I always get a huge smile
on my face and feel the spirit so strong whether they are interested or
not. We get to ask people life questions that don't just get asked on
the street in any normal conversation, and people love and need to talk
about them! This week we did 2 different exchanges. For one I was back
in Tirana with the sisters Motra Kokol is training, Motra Leblow! and
for the other I was in Fier with Motra Curtis. They were both so
awesome! I really love leading! I think it's my favorite thing. I love
helping all the sisters be better and learn new things, have new ideas. I
always want them all to know everything that I know so they can go
throughout their missions and be even better than I am! :) It really is
the best!
I love serving with Motra Wendt. This week we had
our Companionship Inventory and I came to the conclusion that serving
with her is like serving with one of my real sisters. It's different
than serving even with a really good friend, she's sisterlike! :) I
really love it. I imagine it would be just like this if I was serving
with one of my real sisters... which would be awesome too!
This Saturday
the 16th we have 2 baptisms planned!! One is a 14yr old boy named
Amarildo. He is the son of a mother and daughter that got baptized a few
months ago. He's awesome and so excited to be baptized. The other is a
14yr old girl named Dajana. She is the cutest ever! We have been
teaching her and her mother Anila, but the mom just needs a little more
time to feel more ready. I hope it will be soon though also! I'm really
excited for them both and we have been busy teaching them, finding new
people to teach, teaching retention lessons to the people that have been
baptized within a year, finding/teaching returning members that are
inactive, and teaching the Active members also to keep them strong.
Lots of people came to church on Sunday!!
We had a little primary program and it was so good! :) Us missionaries
helped in singing the song "Families can be together forever" because
the kids didn't know it and didn't have time to learn it. I love that
song! The Relief Society is doing well also. It's kinda a lot to also be
RS Pres, but I know they need me and even though I can't do everything I
would like the little things all matter! Hopefully in not too long an
Albanian will take over! ya!
I love you all! Have a great week!
rrugë të mbare!
Me dashuri,
Motra Hoover
ps. It's started to rain a lot! The rain is coming.... I pulled out my rain boots for the first time yesterday... I love them!
