So we were in a lesson with a family that let us in while we were tracting. I thought the mom said something about lemon tea as she told the daughter to make something for us so I was like ok nothing to worry about. But then the daughter brings us this Turkish Tea which we can't drink. As she set it down I'm like whispering and making eye contact with Motra Xhons [Sister Jones] like what do we do? Like I was nervous. What do we do? So we like avoid it for a little while...then the son asked if it would bother us if he smokes, so thankfully the subject of the Word of Wisdom was brought up and we were able to explain why we don't drink certain things...and actually one of those things is this tea...but they were totally ok with it. whew. This same family had us back over on Saturday and she fed us pita AND apple juice. They probably went out and bought that for us. So grateful for people who respect you and your standards. AND when we said we had to go home they said no please stay a little longer. What? I don't know why anyone would want to hang out with some girls who barely speak their language. Little do they know they don't actually like our company-but the Spirit. Ah if only they could recognize it too.
SUMMER-No more tights!!! Wow so free! And so white...anyway...the weather is so great and sunny, and then all of a sudden at the end of the day Sunday it starts raining...so we are in all summer clothes and all of a sudden it's cold again...We grabbed jackets and then drove out to find a pëllatë to tract, which is an apartment building, but instead we decided to tract a row of houses. We also made a goal that we would teach the Restoration at every door. So at this one house we are standing there at the door which has no cover so it's raining down on us while Motra Saldanja quotes the first vision. This was definitely my favorite 2 hours of tracting I've ever done. Ya know when we just start teaching, people are less likely to say ok well I'm busy. I was surprised that by the end of the row of houses we had taught 4 full Restoration lessons. All on the front porch. That way people actually have a good idea what they are saying po or jo to [yes or no].
Princ i Paqes! The new Easter film! The only way that we can enjoy our peace is because of Christ, the Prince of Peace. As I was thinking about the peace and Jesus Christ's life, ya know I don't think He got very much of it at all. Always offering peace to others when they didn't exactly let Him have any peace. I am so grateful that He never sought out His own peace because He knew that His work on Earth was so that we might have peace. Even when He desperately needed it, He said Thy will be done. He gave up His peace for ours. Go watch the new Easter film, Prince of Peace :) [It will be available next week. I'll post a link then.]
