Week 2: showbiz baby

-
What's up everyone! Well I just finished up my first full week at the MTC and I can confidently say that I've learned more in the past week than I did in my whole 2 semesters at BYU Hawaii, hahahahah! Seriously though, I feel like my brain is completely fried and I can't possibly memorize another vocab word...until I remind myself that I've still got 5 weeks left and a long way to go!! 

This week had a lot of ups and downs for sure but overall it was great:) My classes honestly go by way fast now and I feel like there is never enough time in the day for all the studying I need to do. This week my teacher had some of his friends from his mission (including one of his converts in Italia) zoom into our class so that we could practice teaching them! Of course the person I was assigned to teach was the actual Italian🙃 Me and my comps tried our best to piece together an Italiano lesson for him but let me tell you it was ROUGH. We would ask him questions and he would just go offff  talking so fast and we didn't understand a single thing. We just sat there, nodding our heads saying "si si!" and "bene!" Hahaha the whole experience definitely shot my confidence to the floor and I was feeling so bummed about it for the rest of the day. But then I decided to have the mindset of my good friend Ashlee Searle--so I laughed it off and decided "that's just showbiz baby". ❤️

The best part of the week was teaching our friend Elizabeth in our first ENGLISH TRC!! I was seriously on cloud 9 the entire lesson because she was so excited and receptive to everything we were teaching and the spirit was literally flowing through the computer screen. When it was over I felt so happy! A kind of happiness that I have truly never felt before! I know that TRCs aren't "real lessons" but just teaching someone for the first time was the greatest experience. It made me realize that I will have a hundred bad days on the mission, but it's all worth it when I get to see someone's eyes light up because of the gospel!! 

Thanks for all the love and support! 

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 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 ...

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 ...
