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
- Watched a 100 year old deaf grandma try to hit a piñata 
- We had zone Conference!! It was the greatest thing ever:) also I forgot to put on my mission tag so I wore Elder Dustin's lol
- Highlight of the week: met a new friend named Jules on Facebook! We have been sending her Bible verses for weeks and this week she reached out to us and told us she's really struggling in life right now and would love to come to church. We gave her the address and told her we'd meet her there! We met her at her car Sunday morning and she was pretty shocked to see how young we were lol. As we were walking into church with her she stopped us and started to cry. She told us that when we reached out to her a few days before, we had sent her exactly what she needed to hear, at the exact moment she needed to hear it. She is going through a lot right now; leaving an abusive husband, living in her car, struggling to find a job and wanting to see her kids. Our message truly saved her life and pulled her out of the dark place she was in. Wow. This experience really put everything in perspective for me. I could literally feel God's love for her working through us to reach her. I told her that she was a precious child of God, that he loves her and wants her to be happy in this life. Such a great experience, such a good sunday!!

God is good & this is the best work in the world. I love Colorado! Viva la Italia!

TANTO AMORE,
Sorella Pitt

Ps. I hit 2 months in the field today yeet

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 ...
