Baby Shower Aug 28, 2017

We threw a baby shower for a young mom in our ward!! It was sooo fun! And holy cow so scary planning a RS activity...the pressure. But ah it was so cool because albanians don't have baby showers so it was a first for all of them. We just had a bunch of typical little games and what not and decorations. Alma (the mom) afterwards told us- I never thought that I would ever have a baby shower. Thank you so much. 

awww it was very nice to be able to share a little bit of our American culture. These are normal things for us but no we don't do activities like this. But we are going to. This month we have a bunch and we are encouraging all the members to join us for this Month of Invitations. It's going to be so good!

Emiliana looking at a picture of the temple in Rome "I will go there someday" she said it almost in a whisper super subtle but ugh the power. Temples are the best places that we can have a goal to go to. I miss it a lot. Some of our members are preparing right now to go to the Temple in Switzerland. it's far. But soooon we will have one in Rome!!! which is wayy close for these members here in Albania. Because of temples we can be families FOREVER. 

And last thing: an Albanian expression

Zoti vonon por nuk harron.

(The Lord is late but doesn't forget)

ah such wisdom. Just because He may not give us an answer or something we expect in the time we want, does not mean that He forgot. He didn't. :)
