My dear extraordinary youth, you were sent to earth at this precise time, the most crucial time in the history of the world, to help gather Israel. There is nothing happening on this earth right now that is more important than that. There is nothing of greater consequence. Absolutely nothing.This gathering should mean everything to you. This is the mission for which you were sent to earth. So my question to you is “Are you willing to enlist in the youth battalion of the Lord to help gather Israel?” Please think about it. -President Russell M. Nelson

NEW TRANSFER






HELLO EVERYONE!!! I HOPE YOU HAVE HAD AN AMAZING WEEK!!! I am just over here in Kosovo and couldn't be happier to be staying here in the best place. I am with a new companion now. Her name is Sister Bringhurst and she is from Highland, Utah! She is really cool! We are workin some fire over here in Prishtina! We also spent a good day in Macedonia for zone conference and we learned so much it was awesome! 

Culture shocks: 
1. So we have a different dialect that we speak in Kosovo called gheg. It is different than tosk which is spoken in Albania. I never realized how different the dialects were until we got 2 new missionaries here that served in Albania  that can't understand anything!
2. If you turn on your hazards nothing is illegal lol. 
3. When the Kosovars speak they make this "click" noise to say no. Hahaha I am now picking up that habit!!! 

Goofs & giggles: 
1. So in Albania they shake their heads "no" when they mean yes and they shake their heads "yes" when they mean no. However, in Kosovo they do not do this. My new comp has served in Albania her whole mission so she has picked up the habit and has been shaking her head no at everyone. Everyone has thought that she is so mean and doesn't like them or doesn't agree with them HAHAH. 
2. After the huge earthquakes last week there was a big storm that flooded the streets! It was pretty crazy! It was like we were swimming!! #weareobedient 
3. We went to this beautiful waterfall this week and then I got stinging nettle. Awesome sauce. #deathhands 

Spiritual GOODNESS: 
President Nelson gave a beautiful talk called, "Drawing the Power of Jesus Christ into our Lives". It is beautiful you should read it!! He said, "When you reach up for the Lord’s power in your life with the same intensity that a drowning person has when grasping and gasping for air, power from Jesus Christ will be yours." 

This is so powerful! This is one thing I have been working on as I have been serving my mission. That relationship with our Heavenly Father is so important. When we pray to our Heavenly Father with that same intensity you can truly feel the power of our Savior's Atonement. We can truly feel his love. We can truly FEEL his answers to our prayers. 

I have seen this in my life and in the lives of those we are teaching. We are teaching this man named Iljaz and his prayers are so amazing. He truly talks to God and you can feel his desire to receive an answer when he pours out his soul in prayer. I love this gospel! I love my Savior! Reach up to your Savior. The power from Jesus Christ will be yours. 


I LOVE YOU ALL :)) 

Love, Motra Sëtën
