Hey so this is an article of a lady named Liz and it's in Gjakova (that's where I am). And one of our members (Vlora Hajdari) here met Liz when she was a kid in one of the refugee camps. V told us her whole story. In the camp she didn't like or want to talk with any of the other kids. Liz noticed it and asked if she could talk to her. Vlora was against it, she didn't want to talk to anyone, but finally she sat down and Liz asked about her family, Vlora said that her mom didn't love her or want her and that nobody loved her. Liz told her that of course her mom loved her but that also God does. You are always loved. Vlora didn't want to hear any of it and left. But when her life got harder, after a couple years, she started really seeking out God, trying out lots of different faiths. After 12 years of meeting Liz in the refugee camp, Vlora got baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Liz noticed one of the many kids in a camp and cared enough to talk to her. She cared enough to tell someone that didn't want to listen, that she was loved. Honestly sometimes I don't even realize how precious that simple message is to people who have never heard it or seriously considered it before. Wait are you telling me that there is a god? and that He would care about me? We can live with our families forever after this life? Death is not the end? I can see them again after they have died? Ya there's a lot of problems, everyone has them, but can you see how much hope we bring. I can only hope that people realize that, and to talk to everyone and their dog about it so they can decide for themselves if they want it or not.
No matter what you’re going through, you can find “a perfect brightness of
hope” th
