 Dobar den yall 

Well I am officially a city girl and I love being in Skopje!! I've never lived in a big city like this before and it's so fun. Everyday is kinda crazy and hectic but it's a party and I love it. 
Here's some city views from runs Sister Jo and I have done this week.

Things I don't have pics of:
-our branch activity which was a mega success !!
-a lesson with our friend Manuela who is amazing 
-our new friend Blaga who is a kinda crazy baba who stopped us after we said hi and now she tells us how much she loves us and gives us a thousand kisses 
-creepy macedonian men😶
-I've called so many people this week even though it's so scary!! 
-driving in the city, kinda wild kinda fun
Macedonia is such a wild place but I am so grateful that God allowed me to come to this tiny, quirky, almost forgotten country. I don't know if I'll ever be able to leave it. These members have my heart and I am blown away by their efforts to remain faithful after all these years with only missionaries really to support them. I have been studying a lot about trials lately and our relationship with God and I have come to realize just how grateful I am for a God who not only allows hard things happen to us, but prepares us for then. The members here are not perfect and struggle with so much, but as I have met each of them this week, I can already feel the immense love of God for each of them and how proud he is of their efforts. They are an amazing example of true pioneers to me.
So ljubov

  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 !! Then the car troubles continued this week... 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...
