Week 17: Rainbows

-

Ciao a tutti! Whatta great week:) General Conference was incredible!! What were your guys' favorite talks or insights? I especially loved President Nelson's counsel to "Let God Prevail." So powerful! When we choose to have an eternal perspective and unwavering trust in God, life doesn't have go be gloomy or fearful. Life is amazing. God is so mindful of us. We are living in an world that needs Christ now more than ever before! Confrence was a bit of an eye opener for me. I've decided I need to stop waiting for this storm to pass and notice all the rainbows🌈


Last thursday we were just sitting in the church doing weekly planning when we heard a door open. A couple of seconds later this guy walks into the foyer and starts talking to us. He straight up asked us what church this was and if he could learn more about it. WHAT. We ended up talking to him for a good hour about his life, his beliefs, our beliefs, The Book of Mormon, the purpose of missionaries, etc. It was amazing!! His name is Kevin, he's 45 but thinks he's 25, dresses like a skater and is obsessed with cool cars lol. He's got a really deep Christian faith and has been baptized three times but wants to find the true church. So hyped to teach him!

Another new person we met this week is Sandie! She is a referral from some Elders in South Dakota who met her online. She is a young, single mom who is really struggling in life. She broke down and told us she wants to feel connected with God but just doesn't know how. We both testified of God's love for her and helped teach her about prayer. The spirit was so strong and she left the lesson with a smile on her face. I know the gospel is exactly what she needs to feel true happiness!

The highlight of the week was the baptism of our sweet Maliana. Her whole family was there, the spirit was so strong and Maliana was beaming. Everything that was said and everything that was felt, really just testified of the truthfulness of this church. My testimony of baptism grew x1000 because of this experience. To make things ever better, my amazing trainer Sister Aiono got to come! Of course after the service we all hung out and drank Otai:) Oh what a blessing and miracle it has been to be a part of bringing the Teaupa family back into the church. I love them so much and will remember them forever.

Thank you for the all the support! I love you all so much. Remember to let God prevail! Let Jesus take the wheel! And look for your rainbows!!

TANTO AMORE, 
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 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 ...
