Hey everyone!
Another amazing week here at the MTC! We have seen a lot of missionaries come and go and that has been sad but we manage hahah. This week came with it's challenges with language and learning, but I have grown from those experiences and I'm that much stronger now because of it! I don't have a lot to write because the MTC is a lot of the same every day! hahaha I've been sick the last couple days, but just a mild mild cold so I'm just powering through it! I started getting worse at basketball somehow but I'm back on an uphill with my shooting, but still loads of work to do hahah but thats only a problem for Gym time hahah!
Class is good! I have some of the most amazing teachers!! Motra (siser) Iftiu, Vallai (brother) Hoxha, and Vallai Vance! They all have different teaching styles, but somehow they all work in pretty good harmony with each other!! The Albanian is coming slowly, but it's coming! But for now I'm just working at it during language study and I spend additional and personal study on doctrine and gospel stuff, like Scriptures, Preach My Gospel (PMG) and some of the Missionary library (right now I'm reading "Our Heritage"
My companion is still awesome! I don't what to say, I lucked out. We get a long awesomely and we tend to sort of balance each other out! So it'll be hard for my future companions to live up to! Also I'm pretty sure that I want to migrate to New Zealand and become a Kiwi hahah because every Kiwi I meet is awesome!! So maybe when I join DS or FBI I can go work at the embassy in New Zealand, maybe pop over and see Elder Waters hahaha
I'm sorry I really don't have much to say about what I've done, because it's just a lot of studying! It is pretty crazy that its been 4 weeks!! It has flown by but at the same it feels like I've been here for a long time!! It's a weird feeling but its cool! I love being a missionary and representative of Jesus Christ! And doing His work! I can't wait to go to Albania and teach the people there about the truth! I know so firmly that this is the truth and I am going to give 100% of myself to this mission call because that is how I will show the Lord that I am dedicated to His work! I am a missionary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints at all times, and in things, and in all places! And those of you who are members, remember you are missionaries too!!
Spiritual Experience: So when our teacher Vëllai Vance took us to a spot on the MTC campus that we now call our personal sacred grove because we had an amazing discussion there and all knelt down in prayer to rededicate ourselves to the Lord and His work, because we weren't being the best we could and got too lazy! We weren't being as obedient as we could be, but we were set back on the right path to being a true missionary of the Lord! This work is true!
Some Albanian (these could be very very incorrect haha!):
Nuk e mirë dhe e keq, atye është vetëm fuchi (ch should be a different letter but idk how to get it) dhe ata shumë i dobët të kerkuar atë
This should mean "There is no good and evil, there is only power, and those too weak to seek it!" roughly hahah - Voldemort (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone)

I miss you all and love you so much!!
