Week 16: the shortest email you've ever seen:)

Image
Ciao! This is gonna be speedy quick, but here are some highlights from the week! - Went on exchanges and it was a blast! I got to be with my bestie Sister Scott and we went to this place called "Marco's Hot Dogs and Tacos." Sounds nasty but I promise it's the best thing you'll ever eat here in Longmont!  - Had a great lesson with Henry and Zuriko! We taught the Plan of Salvation and it was so amazing to see Henry's eyes light up when we talked about being sealed to our families:) I'm so excited for their family to be brought into the gospel. - Spent 2 HOURS packing China for an old man in our ward who is moving. Lol he kept bringing out more and more boxes and we just kept bubble wrapping  - I did language study with Sorella Castallano and Anziano Toone (2 missionaries here in FOCO who are supposed to go to Italy). It's so fun getting to actually speak with people who can understand me and respond back! - Set an all time record and made it from the apa...

Week 15: JB!?!?!

First off, lemme just say I haven't had FOMO my entire mission until today when I heard Justian Bieber came out with the greatest song in the world:,) If you're reading this go listen to it for me! Anyways....it was a good and busy week! Seriously each week gets busier and each week I get more stressed but the work is going good! Lots of awesome lessons with friends and members this week, lots of bike rides home in the dark, lots of good cooking by my companion and lots of tender mercies:) - It was my beautiful mom's birthday on Friday! She is so amazing and I wanna be just like her. I got to call both my parents and also mio Fratello, Elder Pitt!! It was so wonderful to talk all together and share our mission experiences❤ - We found a free couch on FaceBook and made the ZLs pick it up for our apartment ! Wahoo don't have to do comp study on the ground anymore - We went to baby Amara's 1 year old bday party😎 the bouncy house was the highlight of the week tbh - Watc...

Week 14: Miracle filled week!

Ciao!! What a crazy, busy, overwhelming, wonderful week it's been! Sooo to begin, we got all moved into our disgustingly dirty basement apartment last Tuesday. We spent 8 hours deep cleaning it, just to get a call from the ZLs on Thursday night telling us we had to move out. Yep. Tears were shed, screams were yelled. Harold (the sweet old guy who lives upstairs) nearly broke his hip running down to see if we were okay after he heard us lol. There was an issue with the Elders moving into the apartments so they had to move us back to the same apartment complex...yes the one located 45 mins outside of our area:) but that's enough of my complaining because GOD IS GOOD! And even though it's been a crazy hectic week, we have been blessed with so many huge miracles ❤  - First. Henry (the stepdad of the little boy we have on date) texted us out of the blue this week and goes "Hey I wanna be baptized. What do I needa do?" Like whaaaaaaat. We are staring lessons with him to...

Week 13: snowing in Septmeber

Ciao a tutti! This week has been BUSY. Picked up my greenie on Tuesday! Her name's Sister Spendlove- fun fact, we were in the same YSA ward at Byu Hawaii!! She's super cool and excited for the work. I'm excited to become good friends with her:) This week my motto has been: "fake it til you make it" cuz I really still don't know what I'm doing as a trainer HA. I'm learning to rely on the Savior and listen to the spirit more than I ever have. I've also come to realize that Sister Aiono was the greatest trainer ever and I want to be just like her! The first few days have been un piccolo difficile, but I had an interview with President yesterday and he really helped boost my spiritual confidence! Love that guy so much.  We are having some crazy weather over here! The past few days it has been "snowing" ash from the fires and the entire sky has been filled with smoke. And then today it LITERALLY SNOWED! I'm really not looking forward to my...

Week 12: baby on board!

Ciao a tutti! I don't have a lot of time today so let's keep this short! -I'M PREGNANT! Lol if you don't know mission slang...that means I'm going to be a mom...which means in going to be training! Mind you, I've only been on a mission for 6 weeks😅😳 I'm feeling very nervous, anxious, overwhelmed but excited!! Sister Aiono will be transfering to Windsor to train again and I'll be staying here. Gosh dang it I guess nothing good can last:( I would appreciate all the tips for training considering I have no idea what I'm doing haha -We have 2 cutie kiddos on date for baptism:) Raiden and Maliana! They both come from part member families. Please pray for both of them to continue progressing especially since they both really loved and connected with Sis Aiono. -A highlight of the week was attending the baptism of Chris, a guy taught by the elders in our district! His wife Shelly (who's a member), really wanted me and Sis to come because we've beco...
