Pictures after the Christmas program! Me and sister Chamberlain put the whole thing together and it was fairly chaotic but over all super good!! We had 36 people at church which is insane... and 5 of them were our friends! It was a wonderful opportunity to reflect on the Savior's life and birth.

Everyone that knows me knows I love Christmas. Like I LOVE Christmas. And so naturally it can be kind of hard to be away from my family for two Christmases. But this year, instead of feeling homesick, I was overfilled with love for my Savior. I am so grateful for his life, his example, and ultimately his sacrifice for me. This paragraph from the living Christ stood out to me as we read it in our program:
Jesus is the Living Christ, the immortal Son of God. He is the great King Immanuel, who stands today on the right hand of His Father. He is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. His way is the path that leads to happiness in this life and eternal life in the world to come. God be thanked for the matchless gift of His divine Son. 
So when the decorations come down, remember that Jesus Christ is still the center and hope of all that we do. I love him, and I am so grateful to be a missionary and representative for him.
So ljubov,
Sestra Jeni

  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...

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.
