Week 38: halfway there & liviv on lots of prayers

-

CIAO! Wow whatta week it has been here in Longmont. Lots of meetings, miracles & MEALS. Got the news we can eat in members homes now:) wahoooo I never thought this day would come! 


Highlights:
- had MLC & it was awesome! We crushed all of our mission goals, so we are stretching for higher ones this month. It's so amazing because we are finding, teaching & baptizing more people than the mission was in 2019, BEFORE covid!
- had such a spiritual zone meeting about "the worth of souls" & got the zone excited about finding those lost souls! I made 50 oreo truffles to eat afterward and everyone loved it. hahah I swear I am becoming my mother😂
- showed up to a lesson with our 15-year old friend Anai & she brought her cousin who wants to be taught too!!
- had 6 lessons back-to-back HA it was so awesome and we were zonked by the end of the night
-got an email about my visa for ITALY! 
I was starting to think Italy would never happen so I was literally shocked to see it. I got all my stuff together in one day and sent it in as fast as I could:) This was such an answer to countless prayers & makes me want to work even harder during my time here in FoCo! 

We had an amazing and inspired Zone Conference yesterday. We talked all about who we are, why we are here & who God expects us to become! It was exactly what I & so many other missionaries needed to hear. One thing President told us that I loved was:  "The world is full of starters, BE A FINISHER." The end is near & this work will be finished one way or another. So we might as well all be a huge part of it! 

I hit 9 months tomorrow which is CRAZY! I am so grateful for the amazing first half of my mission & can't wait for what's ahead. Things have been so wonderful. Our teaching pool is growing each week! Heavenly Father has seriously been guiding us through His work. The days are so busy, tiring, full of ups & downs, but I've never been so genuinely happy! 

I love you all so much & appreciate the support more than you know❤ 

TI AMO TANTO, 
Sorella Pitt

P.S. peep the foto of my reaction when I got the Italy email

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 ...
