Week 9: 2 months as a missionary yeet skeet

-

Ciao my wonderful family and friends!! I miss you all and hope everyone is staying safe and healthy:) Honestly this week went by in 2 seconds and I can barely remember what happened but it was good! 

-For district counsel we played that gross jelly bean game (Bean Boozled)  and I bet this elder in my district to eat a HUGE handful of them all at once...and of course he had to do it cuz he thinks he's a big tough guy...couldn't do it though HA. It was so hilarious he was gagging and crying
-We have been talking to this lady named Joy! Shes has such a hard life and has been through a lot. When we see her we just spend the whole time building her up & complimenting her and she just loves us for it. Last week she goes: "Stop making me feel so good! You're gonna make me wanna go to church with you!" This week she goes: "What time is church on Sunday? Can I sit with you guys?" Made me heart skip a beat:) I just love God's children!!
-We had some success Facebook finding! I posted on some pages in the area saying that I would love to start praying for anyone who needs help during these hard times. I got so many responses and messages! People opened up to me about all the things they were going through and it made me so sad. I made a huge prayer list and have been reading off all of these peoples names every night. 
-We went on exchanges yesterday and I learned so so much! Sister Ripley is a doctrinal genius and taught me so many cool things about the Plan of Salvation! We also made a fun video you'll have to look out for on Facebook;) 
-Sister Aiono laughs and makes jokes all day long-which has been the one thing that always gets me through the hard days. I can't wait for the Luau shes gonna throw me when I get home hahaha

"Now they were desirous that salvation should be declared to every creature, for they could not bear that any human soul should perish; yea, even the very thoughts that any soul should endure endless torment did cause them to quake and tremble."

The scripture really decribes how I have been feeling. I want to declare salvation to everyone! I'm growing this immense love for very person I meet, pass on the street or message on facebook. I feel like I'm learning to see everyone through Heavenly Father's eyes and I have his huge desire for everyone to hear the gospel. My heart aches knowing there are so many people in the world who don't know that they have a Savior who suffered for them so that they don't have to suffer alone. This church is so wonderful and we are so blessed and lucky to know of its truth.

I love u all so so much!!

TANTO AMORE, Sorella Pitt

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 ...
