Dearest Family & Friends,
We hope this finds you enjoying Christmas and that you each will be blessed with a Happy New Year.
We are enjoying the wonderful spirit of Christmas. Many blessing of love come as we wear the missionary tag on our hearts. Being able to see the gospel shinning in the eyes of new convert is our privilege.
We attended the big district Christmas party in Tirana last night; it was fun to see the growth happening in the branches by the members taking responsibility. The young missionaries glowed beautifully as they performed in each of the branches performances. When the Albanian saints closed the party they had burning candles to light sparklers that were passed out to children and adults on stage as they sang a Christmas hymn. It was a beautiful sight but give us a little fright as we saw all the excitement of little children (as little as 2 years old). We give thanks in the closing pray that the program went so well and everyone was kept safe.
We will spend Christmas with missionaries in an effort to bring more young single adults to the church. We are having a cultural night for the YSA and learning about Denmark. One of our Sisters, Sister Leit from Copenhagen the capitol city of Denmark is excited to help with the growth of the center. She will show us pictures and share traditional food from her home country. The missionaries posted flyers around the city of Vlore we are hoping for a good turn out.
Well we will close and get back to the missionary work.
With Love,
Elder & Motra Smith
