Week 10: Auntie Rona

-

What's up famiglia, hope everyone is doing good and getting excited to go back to school aka ZOOM !! Anyways, don't let my subject line scare you cuz I actually didn't get corona this week but we had a close call lol. A member texted us Sunday night and told us she texted positive for the Rona...and so we got really worried cause we knew we had been in contact with her daughter and thought we were gonna be quarantined. I don't think I've ever said so many prayers in one day hahaha I was so bummed thinking we were gonna be stuck inside for 2 weeks. But Heavenly Father pulled through and answered our prayers:) The nurse told us that since we were only in contact with the daughter we should be fine to still work but just be cautious. Blessings people, blessings. 


This week was good! We did a lot of service which was super fun:) We helped a member family move, helped a member's friend load a storage unit and (of course) did some weeding. I'm so grateful to be able to do service because I know a lot of missionaries still aren't allowed or don't have the opportunities. PSA: Call up your local missionaries and ask them to pull your weeds!! I promise they will be stoked


My favorite part of the week was having a "Salsa Party" with our girl Joy. We brought the salsa and she made us homemade guacamole. We showed up and I barely recognized her! She had gotten all dressed up, did her hair and put on some make up. We are used to seeing her wearing her nightgown, sitting in her car smoking and face timing some random dude. This made me so happy because I could tell she was so excited to hang out with us. We sat with her and just talked about life and eat salsa! She asked us a lot of questions about the church which was so great! She thought we worshiped Jospeh Smith and also had no idea we were Christian....hahahha why am I not surprised:,) Glad we got to clear some things up. Near the end, she started crying and told us how much we mean to her. She thanked us for not "shoving the gospel down her throat" but for truly just wanting to be her friend. She raved about how kind and genuine we are and told us that we make her wanna learn more about the church. We bore our testimonies and gave her a BOM. I kid you not I shed tears. Made me realize what an impact we can all have on others just by being their friend and leading by example. Joy told us day 1 that she didn't want to hear about the gospel. We could have just stopped talking to her right then and there but we decided, WHO CARES! NO PROBLEM! We just wanted to become her friend and show her that we loved her. That's exactly what we did and look at her now! I'm so excited to see her grow and hopefully want to learn more about the gospel.


Colorado is great and I love it more each day buttt still have hopes to get to Italy....so pray for a COVID vaccine or for America to chill out or for me to wake up in Venice tomorrow:)


Thanks for all the emails and prayers! It means the world to me


VI AMO TUTTI,

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 ...
