Week 3: halfway:)

-
I'm halfway through the MTC WHAT?! It's weird to think that if I was an English speaking missionary I'd be leaving to go to the field next week! Time flies when you're working hard and learning a lot:) Had my first Italiano TRC this week and it actually went great! I only understood about 20% of what the guy said but that's progress! I've realized that all I can do about the language is work & study hard and eventually it will come. Also, I will most likely get my reassignment this week so that is exciting! It's kinda fun cuz I get to have a second mission call. What are everyone's guesses?? I'm lowkey praying I go to Sacramento so I can see Presty;) The longer I am in the MTC the more excited I am to get out into the field and teach! 

This week consisted of learning a lot of Italian, teaching lessons and studying the Doctrine of Christ. As a class, we have focused on a different principle each day. It's been so awesome to study each one of them in depth. I especially have loved learning more about faith. My teacher taught us that "faith moves us to do things that we otherwise would not or could not do." Faith is an action word. Faith is what pulls me out of bed every morning at 6:30. Faith is what keeps me from giving up when I am convinced I'll never be able to speak Italian. Faith is why I am happy to be in the online MTC and happy to receive a reassignment and happy to learn a language I may never get to actually teach in! I have faith in God's plan for me and I am so incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to teach His children the importance of faith. What better time for us to exercise our faith in Jesus Christ than right now. Like Mere Mere said, the most important thing is to "Keep the faith!"

"Then my brethren, ye shall reap the rewards of your faith, and your diligence, and patience, and long-suffering, waiting for the tree to bring forth fruit unto you."

Thanks for your prayers! I love you all!

TANTO AMORE,

Ciao a tuttiiii!! Buon Natale! Merry Christmas:) i hope you all had a wonderful Christmas with your families! I had a great Christmas here in Trieste! It was honestly everything I ever hoped it would be and the awesome members made me feel completely at home! Something really cool I got to do on Christmas morning was go to catholic mass! We went with one of our investigators. We made a deal with him to do a chiesa scambio (church swap) so we would go to his church on saturday and he would come to ours on sunday! The mass was awesome! Very different, but still very spiritual. I think the best part was that I got to be in the shoes of the investigator, I got to feel how they might feel walking into a new and strange environment. I have come to gain a lot of respect and understanding for the Catholics here in Italy. It's been beautiful to learn more about them because in return, they are so more willing to learn about us! And we truly aren't as different as we might think. I find ...

Ciaooo a tutti!! Welcome back. This was probably one of my favorite weeks on the mission! I've never been so tired but happy at the same time HAH. Things are super bene! • we have been finding the coolest, most prepared, young people! Chiara & Aaron we met this week. It's so fun to teach them because I literally feel like I'm teaching myself! My favorite thing ever was seeing their faces just light up as we gave them a Book of Mormon and testified of the power found within the pages. They are both searching for something more in life and I'm so grateful God let our paths cross! • this week I got to go to 2 Zone Conferences! One was in Florence. Yes you read that right. I'm literally living a dream! 😅 We gave a training with the ZLs about building our discipleship. Fun fact for my FOCO friends lol Elder Toone is the ZL and it's a blast. THEN, 2 days later we went to Pordenone for our other zone conference and trained about perspective & purpose. So much ...
