Hey!

Not much to talk about this week I'm afraid. It might be super short haha. We had a good week. The work in Fier and I guess in a lot of the mission has slowed down because it is Summer and everyone is gone for vacation and it's just a really different atmosphere! We are just doing our best though to try and do work the most effective we can.

We have some exciting news though. So a few weeks ago I mentioned and investigator that got baptized whose name is Ema, and she is a twin. Well this last week in a lesson with her and her twin sister who has also been meeting with us, has decided that she is ready to be baptized! AH! It's so exciting. I have seriously seen such a change in her as she has learned more about the gospel and the restored church of Jesus Christ. And we are so excited for her to take that step closer to God and His Son Jesus Christ.

We also met a new investigator who is just ballin' (awesome)! She like finished the Book of Mormon in a few days...what? who does that? haha just kidding, its awesome, but like dang. She has a lot of faith in Christ! and She is going through a lot of what Joseph Smith was going through, before he took those fateful steps into that sacred grove. She has been searching for the true church. And now she is learning about the restored church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, and about the Book of Mormon and I think she is recognizing the truth in the things that we are testifying about. The Lord really does prepare some people.

And we have another investigator, and her and her husband and son are going through a tough time, because they don't have work. Unfortunately that is a huge problem in Albania. But she has so much faith in Jesus Christ and she is also learning about the church and she recognizes the Spirit testifying of the truthfulness of this the Church.

I think that's it for the week. I love you all, and I love being a missionary! I am learning so much about life and about our Savior. My testimony has grown so much, and I am so thankful for the opportunity to serve Him. You guys are all awesome and I love you and I hope you have an awesome week!
