Week 45: happy coincidences

-

Hello hello!! Another great week in LoCo:) Here are some highlights:


- BRITTANY. Elect. Golden. I'm convinced she's the reason I'm here. She was taught before Covid hit and was really progressing until the world got crazy and things fizzled out. We reaching out to her and she responded with: "I have been thinking about you Sisters! Can we meet Wednesday at 4?" lol if only all our friends could set up their own lessons. We had an amazing lesson about God's love and the spirit was so strong. I've gotta good feeling about this one:))
- went on exchanges and contacted a lady I found on FB back in October! She was super interested and we are teaching her this week.
- filmed a Samoan dancing video with my Poly Sistas for our Facebook page! Hahah I wish I was polynesian. Don't we all?!
- just to add to the polynesian things....an Elder in our mission who does fire knife dancing let me give it a shot😂
- MLC was inspiring. We talked all about President Nelson's latest Conference talk. We decided what the Lord expects of us & what we need to do to change! We are left the meeting feeling spiritually enriched and empowered!!

I absolutely love this quote by President Monson I ran across in my studies: 

“There is a guiding hand above all things. Often when things happen, it’s not by accident. One day, when we look back at the seeming coincidences of our lives, we will realize that perhaps they weren’t so coincidental after all.”

As I look back at all the "happy coincidences" of my mission, I feel so full. From my companions, to the members, to the converts, to the missionaries. The places I've seen, experiences I've had, and testimony I have grown, could not have come any other way. I know that being sent to this mission & serving at this time was no coincidence. It was the guiding & loving hand of my Father in Heaven💙

Ciao ciao,
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 ...
