Week 6: 'til we meet again...in Italia:)

-
CIAO A TUTTI! I hope everyone is having a bomb summer and doing lots of boating and swimming for me! This week was probably my most favorite week of the MTC so far. L'ultimo settimana...the last week:/ I honestly had no idea that I would be this sad to "leave" the MTC (aka log off of zoom for the last time) *tears!*

I couldn't have asked for a better MTC experience and I wouldn't change a single thing. I know that I was supposed to meet every person in my district and learn from each of their testimonies. We all became best friends and had the funnest times. I know that I needed to be taught by my wonderful teachers, Fratello Nordgran and Fratello Young--who I'm convinced were the greatest missionaries of all time. I learned so many lessons and principles from them that I will never forget. I know for a fact that I was supposed to be in my Power Trio with Sorella Kroff and Nydegger:) I'm forever grateful for our unbreakable friendship and can't wait for that glorious day when we will all meet up again in Italia. The MTC is amazing!! I've come to understand that it's all about the principles you learn, the spirit you feel and the people you meet. And the coolest thing is that I didn't have to be in the actual MTC building to experience these things!

We had an amazing last lesson with Elizabeth on Thursday. My companions and I got to share our testimonies of how wonderful this gospel is and how happy it makes us. It was bittersweet saying goodbye to Elizabeth because she has been with us from the beginning. From our first AMAZING lesson about prayer; to the time when she literally screamed when we showed her a picture of the first vision; to her telling us about how much she loves Korean music, food and MEN; to her telling us about her desire to know the that this gospel is true and committing to continually exercise her faith and read The Book of Mormon. Seeing her growth has been amazing. And the best part is... we looked her up on facebook after we ended our last lesson and found out she's not even a member:) We were teaching her for real!! Ahhhh I can only hope I come back from my mission and she's baptized.

My comps and I read the talk "The Miricle of a Mission" for our last comp study. I absolutely love this quote from Elder Holland where he talks about serving a mission:

"This is more important than anything you’ve ever done in your life. However, we feel . . . and I’m sure you’ve been wondering . . . however significant your lives may have been . . . and I’m sure you’ve done very important things, . . . this is higher and holier and more sacred and more eternal than anything you’ve ever done. It is by definition the most important thing you can do in the world, in time or eternity. For this reason you are engaged in the saving of the human soul. And that is the highest and holiest work in the universe."

This is the most important work in the world and I feel so lucky to be a part of it! Colorado in T-2 days wahoooo

TANTO AMORE,
Sorella Pitt
The greatest district ever!

Last lesson with our angel Elizabeth!

Madison River with the Fam!

LANY music is the only thing I actually miss.

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 ...
