BRIEF PROFILE and LANGUAGES (for evangelization):
Coming from a Muslim family, she began her conversion towards Christianity and Christ in November of 1993. She received baptism as an adult in 2006, risking being stabbed to death by a close family member who did not want her to convert - but baptism was more important to her than the threat. She continued on her journey and searched for her path for some years, until someone from the pfsgm community was attentive to her Divine Calling and helped her realize her "dream": to be able to live the entirety of the Gospel in deed and in truth (cf. 1 Jn. 3:18). In addition to Albanian, she writes and speaks Italian. To read her complete testimony, click here.

BRIEF PROFILE And LANGUAGES (for evangelization):

After a past of being the "rebellious daughter," she fell in love with the Lord through the humble and simple example of the Poverello of Assisi. Thus, she began her vocational search, which led her to discover the Little Friars and Little Nuns of Jesus and Mary through facebook in the summer of 2014. In addition to Italian, she can communicate in French and English. To read her complete testimony, click here.
