Week 33: the miracle of cookies

-

What's up fam:) This week was great! Lots of little miracles reminding me that this is God's work and he is in the details of everything! 


-we had a lesson fall through last pday night which was a bummer. But just a few minutes after that, one of our part member families asked us to come over for a last-minute lesson! Miracle
- we taught ballet to the little primary girls this week and they told their friends and teachers all about it....so now half the town knows who we are and will actually talk to us!!
- drove out to visit the furthest member in our whole area, who lives literally in the middle of nowhere. Not a living soul in sight. Haha he told us we were the 3rd person to ever knock on his door the whole 5 years he's lived there. We offered to share a message and he quickly shot us down but was kind enough to give us some food so the long trip was worth it 😎
- we had an amazing lesson with our girl Cashlyn. The spirit was overflowing out of their little trailer home. We taught her about the Gospel of Jesus Christ and she loved it. We extended the invitation to be baptized and she said she is going to pray about it. Plz plz keep her in your prayers! Her and her family need the gospel!
- We've been able to meet with/ have lessons with a TON of less actives that the branch has been trying to "get-in-with" for YEARS. Hahah something about Sister missionaries;)
- we delivered cookies to some formers and ended up getting a few return appointments! One of the biggest things I've learned on my mission...people can never turn you down when you've got a plate full of cookies in your hand😅

It's amazing for me to look back and see all the growth that has happened in this area over the past few weeks. Even in the beginning, when I thought nothing was happening, God was preparing us and preparing these people to get to where we are now. I have really learned to trust Him through it all, the good and the bad, because he knows what's best for his children and he sees the bigger picture!

Words of Mormon 1:7
"And I do this for a wise purpose; for thus it whispereth me, according to the workings of the Spirit of the Lord which is in me. And now, I do not know all things; but the Lord knoweth all things which are to come; wherefore, he worketh in me to do according to his will."

TANTO AMORE,
Sis 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 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 ...
