 Zdravoooo

We're gonna change things up a lil because last week's email was a lil bit heavier. Instead I'm turning my week into personal proverbs (yay come follow me) with absolutely no context and hardly any wisdom. Enjoy:)))
Always choose to laugh instead of cry. Car jail is not as bad as jail jail so everything will work out. 
Choose to be grateful for lawyers who can speak rapid fire macedonian.
No matter how many times you explain tiwi in another language to the car mechanic, you will have to listen to "unknown driver"  (european missionaries will understand) on repeat and that's okay.
Sometimes you can't understand the language or speak anything the whole week, but the language of the spirit is always universal.
Double decker buses are probably more fun in England.
"I have never seen a uhaul following a hurse"
American roads are significantly better, something you forget until you're driving on them in Kosovo.
Teenage albanian boys have no boundaries and you will get their love confessed to you if you try to be a missionary and say hi. 
Baptisms still happen even if the zoom doesn't and that's what is important.
3 Albanians speaking serbian to you will make you feel like you don't know Macedonian as well as you thought and will simultaneously make you realize that you understand serbian better than you thought.
Harry Potter makes more sense when you read it in English.
Tavce Gravce will always be the best choice. 
Sometimes doctrine is hard to understand and it's okay to grapple with it. You learn a lot in the struggle. 
Everything is a picture opportunity, but maybe not everything should be.
Elevators in post-yugoslavian hospitals will become your new biggest fear if you have to ride in one. I don't recommend it. 
Okay now onto pictures: 
These first ones are from my exchange to Kosovo.

  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...
