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 bike ride tomorrow😂 Also! We finally moved into our new apartment and lemme just say, this place is the grossest and dirtiest thing I've ever seen. You can definitely tell that only elders have been living here lol we'll be doing some deep cleaning for the next week!

Anyways, we've got lots of work to do and people to find this week so let's hope it gets sunny soon! I could always use the extra prayers to find some more elect!


D&C 100: 4
"Therefore, I, the Lord, have suffered you to come unto this place; for thus it was expedient in me for the salvation of souls."

I love this scripture. It's such a great reminder to me that I am HERE, in Firestone Colorado, training Sister Spendlove, biking in the snow, because the Lord needs me to be. He doesn't need me in Italy right now, he doesn't need me in Hawaii, he doesn't need me at home. He needs me here, teaching the gospel and bringing salvation to these wonderful people❤

Catch ya next week!

Ti amo tanto, 
Sorella Pitt

Week 79: A true Italian Chirstmas!

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 ...
