Week 1: gotta Zoom

-
Ciao miei amici e famiglia!! Sorella Pitt here, coming at you live from the MTC! AKA THE PITT RESIDENCE:) Just wanted to write a quick email telling all of you how much I love being a missionary!! I got to start the online mtc on my birthday which was so great! I'm in a trio with the cutest companions ever--Sorella Kroff and Sorella Nydegger. They are so awesome and fun, I seriously lucked out! I also have an awesome district and great teachers. All of us wanna get to Italy soooooo bad (plz Corona chill out) and our teachers hype us up with all the gorgeous pictures they show us from their missions. Please pray I will be able to go there soon!

I've never in my life stared at a computer screen for this many hours hahaha! Zoom is my best friend these days! My butt falls asleep at least 8 times a day from all the sitting lol. All jokes aside, online MTC is actually so so cool and I'm very grateful for the experiences I've had so far and the spirit I have felt. I love every minute of my classes and I always end my Zoom calls with a big smile on my face:) Also!! Italiano is the coolest and prettiest language in the world. I get really stressed out and frustrated while trying to learn it each day and I can't seem to fall asleep at night when a million words are running through my brain. But really I'm so stoked and blessed to be learning Italian and I know that the Lord will help me!

Something my teacher, Fratello Young, told me on my first day really hit me: "For these next 18 months you are exactly where the Lord wants you to be, doing exactly what he needs you to do." How cool is it that! I'm so grateful that during this uncertain time in the world I am 100% certain that I need to be a missionary...whether that's in the Provo Mtc or sitting behind my desk at home, trying not to pee my pants after 3 hours of class and a 32 oz hydroflask.

"Now my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of mercy are over all the earth..."
Alma 26:37

TANTO AMORE,
Sorella Pitt

Ciaooo amici miei!! This last week has been so full of miracles I can't even begin to count. The Lord is truly blessing this city and preparing people to accept the gospel! Oh how wonderful it's been! Here's a little rundown: This whole transfer we have been praying & fasting & working to receive a golden referral, and this week we ended up getting UN SACCO (a ton)!! - our recent convert Tani started sharing the gospel with his 16 year old son and now he wants to meet with us and start coming to church! - our awesome nonna (grandma) of the ward introduced us to her friend who introduced us to her sister & nephew and we had an AMAZING Restoration lesson with all 3 of them:) we gifted them each a book of Mormon and they were so excited! Very promising! - this cool 18 year-old member who's preparing for a mission wants us to teach his girlfriend with him! So awesome:) "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I ...

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 ...

**the subject line is a direct quote from our ysa Nigerian member who I'm convinced is gonna be a prophet on day lol Ciaooooo!! Life is so good! Here's a quick update from me:) - I have never been so happy! Seriously I have just been soaking up the good & the bad & everything in between. I figure I only get a few more sleepless nights of stressing over the salvation of these sweet italian souls so I gotta live it up:)) - we got invited my a old lady in our ward to go watch her & her old lady friends sing carols! It was classic. I've decided that watching a bunch of Italian grandmas sing jingle bells is the greatest thing in the world...next to a good carbonara - we had our english class on zoom and just one person showed up. But she was a nonmember! I felt inspired to ask her if she has any questions about our church and she completely opened up & asked us some great things! So we ended up having an awesome lesson on the gospel of Jesus Christ and she's ...
