Christmas time is HERE !! December 1, 2021

 Howdy howdy and MERRY CHRISTMAS 🎄🎅🏻🎁

there are 3 things I love in life: ice cream, America, and Christmas (and of course my family, friends, and God butttt you get the idea) and man am I excited that I can finally celebrate Christmas without people judging me :)))
This week was a whirlwind... Hermana Tornow and I wanted to really focus on helping our friends we're teaching and especially the ones on date to be baptized to come to church. And man we tried but when Sunday morning rolled around the 9 people we thought were going to be there all bailed except one. I sat in sacrament meeting pretty disappointed because I felt like I was falling short. I knew that God wanted each of the people we're teaching to be at church even more than I did so I just said a little prayer for peace and a miracle. Welllll I promise yall God answers prayers. About 20 minutes later one of our friends Sam showed up (we had a lesson with him the night before but he had stopped talking to us the next day). Even if he only got to be there for Sunday school, God showed me in a small way that it really is his work and I am just a small means of helping his children come closer to him. So no we didn't have 9 people or even close come to church, but God is still good. 
I love you all, I love God, and I love Christmas and the special time it is to celebrate Jesus Christ's birth and life. Go serve someone today and tell them how much God loves them!

  zdravo !!! This has been yet another wild week. I've been up in Skopje, the capital, for most of the week actually with zone conference and different meetings up here and for a zone pday. Anywho this email is going to be more of a picture book so enjoy because I have literally 1000000 pictures and wanted to share them with the class: last pday we went to Sveti Jovan which is a mega famous church in Macedonia. It's right in Ohrid and is najubavo!!!! here's a cute little illegal pic of the inside. Way smaller than I thought it would be tbh.  now onto the delicious food from this week..... huge announcement... I ate tomatoes and I didn't die from my utter disdain. All the produce is insanely delicious here and they were actually fine. here's shopska salad (onions, cucumbers, tomatoes, and this cheese that is kinda like feta but not and more salty LITERALLY MY FAV THING). it's sooooo good and I've already had it twice this week because it's my favorite. bu...

  Zdravo !! This week we went to Albania for zone conference ! We had kinda a crazy time getting there and back because we realized right as we were leaving that my international driving had expired with my residency card that I just had renewed. Sooo that was an adventure but we made it eventually.  Featuring Sis Ch and I as the only sister's in our zone:((( Then this beautiful sunset on the way back featuring Ohrid Lake !!

We got to our car and the battery was completely dead... so enjoy this montage of us getting it figured out  and finally us back on the town with our car working again ! here are some pics from a couple lessons with our members this week:) now enjoy some pics of Sis Ch and I pov: you're trying to figure out if this man is doing the splits or holding on to a hand railing where there are germs. We had some amazing lessons this week that reminded my of God's hand in this work. With all the craziness that happe...
