Week 35: choose to love

-

ciao mia famiglia ! This week was good! Full of a million highs and lows as usual:) 

- this cute lady we've been wanting to teach took us out for breakfast and we talked all about Jesus!! We're gonna meet with her again this week.
- that same day, this cute old man (member) took us out for lunch and told us it was the highlight of his whole year!!
- we had some awesome, wonderful, spirit-filled lessons with our girl Cashlyn😇 she's getting dunked this Saturday! And Sister Jepsen is making me sing with her at the baptism....send prayers for everyone's ears lol
- scooped chicken poop for 2 hours. But we got to hang with the horses so it was worth it
- met with some awesome people who we've been trynna contact for weeks so that was a miracle!
- our friend Crista didn't show up for church which broke my heart in half. Sometimes I really do hate agency:/ but we are praying for her nonstop because she's golden...I just know it!

I have been pretty overwhelmed and stressed about a lot lately, so I was praying and studying to know what would help me feel better. One morning, I really felt like I needed to study charity. I've always kinda thought that I was already good on charity. Like I could check that one off of my Christlike attributes list cuz I got it down. Boy was I humbled😂 
I read the classic "charity never faileth" in Moroni 7. I've never fully understood what that meant but as I've studied it the past few days, I've come to realize what it really means. It means that love is always the answer! If we choose to love in every situation, we will be so much happier, and things will work out how they are supposed to. That's definitely easier said than done. We've gotta CHOOSE to love, even when we really don't want to.
So this week I'm gonna choose to love my comp, even when she leaves me a sink full of dishes to do:) I'm gonna choose to love the person who shuts the door in my face midsentence! I'm gonna choose to love the bitter cold WY weather. I'm going to choose to love studying a language that I might not ever speak. I'm gonna choose to love myself, even when I feel like I'm not good enough. CHOOSE TO LOVE!

Vi amo tutti!! Thank you for all the sweet emails and your constant support❤

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 ...
