Week 41: Love Him because He love you first!

-

What is up everyone! Hope y'all are having an awesome spring break & enjoying the beach for me:) It's crazy to think that this time last year, everyone's spring break plans were cancelled, we were all stuck inside & life was crazy, scary and unknown. Looking back, to how scared and worried I was last year compared to how I feel now is a world of a difference! And I know that is because of this gospel that brings a lasting peace & comfort we can't find through anything else! Bring it on world, I'm not scared anymore 😎


ANYWAYS transfers came this week and yeah you guessed it. My sweet Soa Aiono is being booted to Wyoming:/ We all knew it was coming but I'm still sitting here in denial hahahah. I love that girl. If God sent me to Colorado for one reason it might just be her. The impact she has made on my life is unmatched. The biggest thing she taught we was that, "If you just do everything out of LOVE you can never go wrong." She loves everyone. Black or white, rich or poor, broken or whole, disobedient or consecrated, basher or bishop. Getting to be with her for another 6 weeks was such a tender mercy! She is one of the best missionaries I know & I cannot wait for our lifelong friendship ahead!

Things are picking up in the area and we have been able to find a lot of people! No one super solid yet, but I know I just need to keep having faith and working hard. I am grateful for the hard times because I am able to recognize the smallest blessings and miracles that I wouldn't have if things were nice & dandy.

This weekend is Easter & General Conference, WOW I couldn't have asked for anything more. As I have been studying Christ's life, Atonement, Crucifixion & Resurrection this week, I am astonished and humbled by the immense love Christ has for every single human on this earth. When He was suffering in the garden, bleeding from every pore, He was thinking of YOU. When He was hanging on the cross, forgiving the theft next to Him, He forgave YOU. When He rose from the dead in His perfected body and saw Mary, He saw YOU. "He died for you knowing you might not ever want Him, WHAT A LOVE, live for that." I love Him. The least I can do is spend the rest of my life loving His children like He would:)

1 John 4:19 
"We love him, because he first loved us."

I love you all! Have an amazing Easter! Go watch General Conference! 

Ps. Plz keep me in your prayers as it looks like Italy is coming soon !!

TANTO AMORE, 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 ...

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!

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 ...
