GOOD CULTURE STUFF:
1. They have all these doorknobs hete that don't turn. Almost like all of the door knobs are for decoration or something I don't even know. All I know is that it is super embarrassing tjat I still turn every single one....
2. One fun thing they do here is sell corn on the streets. It literally is just plain corn that they roast or something and it actually is not bad!!
3. Because it is such a patriarchal society here the women will NOT ALLOW the men to cook or clean. It is soooo weird. Part of it is because they think that they suck at cleaning and cooking hahaha.
GOOFY STORIES:
1. Now is time to talk about the Mexican slip n slide. We have a member here who is from Mexico (he works on the army base) and he is so awesome. We went to his house and he made tons of AUTHENTIC Mexican food and it was awesome. After that he made a slip n slide and it was so hilarious because the Kosovars do not really know how slip n slides work so they just started running so fast onto the slide and just slipped and ate it so hard. That was so hilarious to watch oh my goodness.
2. We helped a member here make specat e mbushur which is stuffed peppers and she is the only Albanian I have ever met who likes spicy food. So we were helping her fill these peppers and suddenly our hands started burning so badly. THEY WERE STINGING SO BAD I CANT EVEN EXPLAIN. We tried everything to wash them, clean our pores, run them under cold water, and literally everything. Holy cow we were in so much pain. Not to mention that any other part of our bodies that we touched burst into dragon fire on our hands oh my. For 2 days now my hands have felt like they are BURNING HAHAHA. Oh and also our friend wasn't even phased... like what the heck. But hey, they were dang good spicy peppers.
3. For some reason at about 7:30 at night the birds here go NUTS. Yes, the birds. It's like every single bird in Prishtina decides to start flying all at once. It's like this massive swoosh of birds fly up in the air and fly in circles for like 15 minutes. They are plotting against us I am telling ya. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF BIRDS.
SPIRITUAL GOODIES:
Okay so about 2 weeks ago we received this random phone call from a number we had never seen before. It was a woman who said she wanted to meet with us however she couldn't for 2 weeks because she was going to be out of town! We called the number again this week and her husband answered and basically said that they both had never called us but we were welcome to come over (they both don't work on Sundays by the way GEZOHEM). He gave us their address and we literally couldn't find their house anywhere (because they don't exactly have addresses here). After driving around for so long we prayed and just started turning down all these random streets!!! WE WERE LED RIGHT TO THEIR HOUSE. It was a miracle!!!! I still cannot believe we found it. They have the most beautiful family of 6 and are so prepared for us. They are wonderful. They were so confused how we had their phone number but I was like you guys called us? Hahahaha. We all agreed that it was a miracle and we were meant to be in their house that day.
The Lord truly prepares his people. We were meant to come into contact with this family, find their house, and teach them a beautiful lesson. There are no coincidences. God has a plan for each and every one of his children. THAT INCLUDES YOU.
1 Nephi 9: 6 says, "But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore, HE PREPARETH A WAY TO ACCOMPLISH ALL HIS WORKS among the children of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it is. Amen."
TRUST HIM! Have faith to work mighty miracles!! I love you all!!! Have a FAN FREAKING TASTIC WEEK!!!
Love, Motra Sëtën
