God loves you!!

Hey everyone! I have an idea for you while you are in quarantine you can learn Albanian, probably not the most useful language you could know, but I mean you got time, so you might as well.

Yesterday, we got to go to a members house for sacrament and it was so amazing! With all this quarantine we haven't been able to partake of the sacrament every week, so it has really made me appreciate it so much more. Just a really good experience to be with their family and partake of the sacrament together.

After our little sacrament meeting we went outside and had an "Albanian BBQ" wasn't my nice hamburger, haha had some part of a pig and tons and tons of potatoes. It was fun though! Really such a blessing to get out of the house!

We have discussions over zoom with our mission president every night and we talked a lot about how God is love and it is so true he is the source of all love and loves each of us so much and so individually. Never forget God loves you!! I love you all!!

Love, sister Butters

EASTER

Hii!
Happy Easter! So grateful for Easter and that we know Christ lives and loves us and he died for us, so that we can all live again! So grateful for my savior and the time I have to grow closer to him and learn more about him! I hope you all had an amazing Easter!!

I got to go on a little road trip this week to Berat! The senior couple took us to teach a couple that I had met, when I was serving there, a few months ago, they had permission to drive and so we got to go and see this couple and teach there whole family, and it was really incredible. A bit of a different lesson, we all had masks and couldn't hug or get close to each other, but it was so fun to get out of the house and be able to share the gospel with this amazing family!

On the way home we stopped at a graveyard and took pictures for the family search basis! That was also fun, it was a really pretty graveyard.

I am really grateful to be here even if we have to be in our houses for most the day. Life is good and God is good and we have a savior who will never forsake us even in the hardest of times. I love you all! Be safe

Love,
Sister Butters

11 Months!

Soo how is everyone's quarantine life?

A few highlights of the week:

I turned 20, so a year older and hopefully wiser. It was a weird, weird, and very different birthday, but we made it a fun day! Also conference was on my b-day! We went over to a senior sister's house and watched it with her and then had to sleepover because it is illegal to go out on Sunday. So had a sleep over party and it made it that much more exciting and got to be quarantine inside a new house! So had some new views. Also conference was really good, filled with lots and lots of HOPE. I loved it so much.

I have been playing the piano so if you have any tips it would be much appreciated! Life is different, but I think we can all relate with that, we have to make the most of it and find the good! When we are focused on Christ it is very easy to see the good! It is so exciting that we get to celebrate Easter this week! I love Christ so much and am so grateful that he atoned for each one of us and he knows exactly how we are feeling! I love all of you and hope you find some new, fun things to do in your houses!

Love, sister Butters

The Last One :(((

  I cannot believe I leave Albania tomorrow! I feel sooo much gratitude. I have had so many unreal experiences I have learned so many things...
