I have been in Vlore for three transfers, so I was expecting to be transferred. I am in Gjakova, Kosovo! I was pretty freaked out when I heard where I was going! It was pretty unexpected. My new companion is Sister Emilie Jackson from my home ward in Draper, Utah, also a surprise! She is doing well. It's been really hard because I miss Vlore A TON, especially the ward mission leader in Vlore. I keep thinking that if we need something we can call him to ask him where to get it and then I realize that we are in Kosovo. He was always so helpful and supportive of the missionaries.
I'm a Sister Training Leader now so I have to give trainings at zone training meetings and stuff...ya...so that's a thing. I got the package from Jan, there was lots of good stuff. I will be going down to Tirana, Albania next week for a training meeting so hopefully I can pick up the package from Seanna and Cheri. There is a big screen at zogu i zi (a busy roundabout with lots of traffic) in Tirana that plays our movie, The Savior is Born https://www.mormon.org/christmas Everyone walking or driving by can see it. It was produced by the Church for Christmas this year.
Gjakova is really really small. Like actually tiny, and all we do is street contact. It’s really, really cold here right now, so street contacting is freezing. Sis Jackson wears a coat that has fur lining around the hood that encircles her face, so she has been nicknamed Panda. Grandma Johansen sent me a necklace for Christmas that has snowflakes on it. So now they have nicknamed me Snow White, together we are Panda and Snow White. Our elders just got here last night because Elder Greener and Elder Griffiths are training Elders Ripell and Elder Wilson. So we have 2 trainees. I'm super excited about that.
I love you all to Gallifrey and back!!
Love,
