Week 28: the reason for the season

-

BUON NATALE!! MERRY CHRISTMAS!! This week was seriously so great and I am embracing every accept of the Wyoming lifestyle:) imma come home a brand new women who knows everything there is to know about hunting, horses and hillbillies 🤠 The people here are the best and really only care about the most important things in life--family, God and animals (and their guns lol)


Some highlights:
- we sheared sheep. Yup you heard me. We helped our landlord shear his sheep!! We were in charge of catching the little suckers and dragging them over to be sheared. I ended up just chasing them in circles...
- had an AMAZING Christmas Program at church this sunday:) so many people came! Our tiny little chapel was packed full and it made me so happy. Sis Jepson and I ended the program by singing " He Sent His Son". Tears were shed. Spirit was strong. I love Christmas sunday!
- delivered a million living Christmas Cards to nonmembers who absolutely loved them!! 
- had Zone Conference in Casper! It was amazing. We talked all about becoming converted unto the Lord. It really hit me that conversation is a lifelong journey. We should constantly be striving to deepen our conversation every single day. 
- decked out our barn in Christmas decorations 
- discovered a new found love for baby kittens
- wore my first pair of coveralls

I want to end with o the words of our amazing Prophet :
"My dear friends, as we near the end of a challenging year, one that may feel to many as a time of uncertainty and darkness, let us never forget that the light of hope still shines brightly. Jesus Christ is the light, the life, and the hope of the world. As we turn our hearts to Him, He will pour out His love for us in unmeasured ways."

He is the constant light in this dark and scary world ! Remember Him this Christmas season:) 

TI AMO TANTO,
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 ...
