Sestra Gittins: Week 64 HE LIVES

Hey family and friends

Plot twist. They sent all the missionaries in the May group home this week. So at 4:30 on Wednesday Morning we drove Sister Canty to the Nikola Tesla Airport and waved goodbye as she caught the last rescue mission jet out of Serbia. Sad to see our quarantine quad change to a trio torpedo. Next group to leave IN AUGUST.. . Ours

Today we got to help with MTC training! The new missionaries training to come to our mission are all doing online mtc training from HOME! We got to join the zoom call and talk with them! They are so great and we can't wait for them to join us out here! They are so great and have great attitudes about it all. But can you imagine how hard that would be? Please if you know one of them-take them cookies and lots of love!

Same old things are happening over here! We have had some great meetings over zoom and video chat.

We had a really sacred Easter meeting over video chat with our District. We talked about the days leading up to Easter Sunday on Christ's life. One of the elders had us take a pen, open our palm and place it gentle poking into our hands. He had us close our eyes and he told us about the crucifixion. It was such a special Easter! We couldn't meet to have the Sacrament(Serbia is on full time quarantine on the weekends) on Easter Sunday, but we got permission to do it on the Wednesday before. Yet again another special time to remember our Lord. And because we are in Serbia we get two easters!

It was my first time having the Sacrament on a non Sunday. Also I think it was really special that on Thursday night we started our fast for Friday. It was like the literal Last Supper when Christ broke bread to His disciples. It was so cool to Fast on friday and know that people around the world were united in the same fast and Prayer!

I know Christ lives

️ Because He opened the door of death-that opens so many doors for us! Hope, love, joy, etc.
