Happy Halloween this week!!! Hope it's amazing!!

Went to the city Pogradec again on exchanges and that was really fun, went to this members house for dinner and let's just say it was one of those meals you wish you only had to eat one bite. But the people are really nice and giving, like too giving, haha, like when you eat at their house which is usually unexpected, they give you soooo much food!! Okay another story about how giving the people are here. I met this nice girl in the street and I complimented her earrings and right then she takes them out of her ears and hands them to me. No matter what I said she wouldn't let me give them back to her. So now I have a nice new pair of earrings. Haha I felt so bad, people are just too nice here.

So something really cool that happened this week is we went over to this women's house and she had her 30 year old daughter living with her. So we taught both of them the restoration and it was really good and then at the end the daughter, Monika, said to me "I have met you in the road before, a while ago, but I told you I didn't have time to meet, but I really like this and I want to meet more!" It was sooo cool, God's timing is really perfect and it's so important to always remember that. We don't always see the full picture, but it really is always best for us! I love you and appreciate you guys so much!!

Miracles :))

So many little miracle things happened this week! So one I got to go on an exchange with sister mann, we were together in the MTC, so it was so fun. We went to meet up with this girl and she wasn't there so one of the elders said a prayer and within two minutes we found her!! It was crazy! So, she thought she lived closer and when she realized how long it was taking she started to run because she didnt want us to leave. Then we had a lesson with her and it was in English, because she is from Uganda!! It was really cool, she was just so amazing! 

Another is we contacted this girl in the road and she was really interested, but didnt have a number or anyway to contact her, so we told her about church. The miracle is she actually showed up at church on Sunday. We walked into the sacrament room and there she was just sitting with her baby. So that was such a miracle! She remembered and found our church. 

The last one is our neighbors invited us over and they are really cool, you aren't really supposed to teach your neighbors unless they ask you about the gospel and luckily that is exactly what happened. They seriously asked us every question, that we have an answer to because of our knowledge of the gospel of Jesus Christ. It was a really amazing experience. 

Just a few of the little miracles that happened this week! I know that there are a lot of miracles everyday, we just have to look for them in our lives! So just keep looking for those miracles and blessings. You are all one for me, love you! 

Love, sister Butters

 

Ju Dua!!

Hi everyone! This week went to a city called Pogradec for exchanges and it was fun, I have been there a few times for exchanges so I know a few of the members there and it is always a good time to see them again and talk to them.

Okay I got the most amazing hot chocolate ever!! Seriously I wouldn't even call it hot chocolate, it was like the thickness of fudge and warm and tasted like a brownie. It was soo good, holy cow, we need it in America.

On Friday we made tons of cookies for members and for a few people that we are teaching. They didn't turn out amazing because we don't have measuring cups so it is really just a guessing game of yeah that looks like a cup, yeah, that looks like a teaspoon. But everyone was really happy. They always give us so many things so it was fun to be able to have something to give them.

Something else from this week is we were tracting and we knocked on this this one cute ladies door and literally she was so nice to us. After we had talked to her for a while, we left and then we continued to tract the apartment building, then she ran out of her house and gave us apples and some leftovers from her lunch. Haha and then she invited us to lunch, the next day. Some of the people here are seriously so nice and giving it's crazy, like she didn't even know us and still was that nice. A really good example for me that we need to love everyone and do what we can to make others feel good and happy, whether we know them or not. Aw I love you all and I am grateful for how much you have done for me thank you! Have an amazing day!

Love, motra Butters

 

conference weekend

Happy October!!
So this week was good, aw we got to watch one session of conference at the senior couple's house and it was so much fun. She made us so many little snacks and it reminded me of home so that was really nice. They are the cutest couple ever, as so grateful for them! Hope all of you got to watch conference, so fun to be able to hear from the prophet and apostles.

We found some amazing people this week. One lady we started talking to in the road, told us we could come over. She was so nice. People are crazy nice here, like everyone will talk to you, and they are all so happy to talk, sometimes too happy and they don't stop talking, but it is for sure a blessing. Also met with some girl who I contacted on Facebook (pretty much Facebook contacting is just messaging tons of random people) she was way nice though, kept calling me Madi, it was so funny, weird to hear my name.

We biked to Macedonia again today and it was good went to the monastery and it's so pretty over there. There are so many pretty mountains, its gorgeous. The air honestly feels fresher over there.

Aw love you guys. Make this week the best! So grateful for all of you.
