Week 48: 11 down and 8 to go??

-

Heyooo it's been a minute so lemme give you all the highlights for these past two weeks!


- The mission-wide pday at Martin's Cove was a HIT. Seriously one of the greatest experiences I've had here on the mission. It was so powerful to be walking the same trails as the pioneers did, plus I actually appreciated it this time cuz I wasn't pulling a handcart and sweating through my bloomers like I was in 2014 lol.
- My Facebook account got hacked by some hater and I was so sad to lose all the people I was talking to/teaching on Facebook. I did everything I could to get I back until I eventually gave up. But GOD IS GOOD and I ended up getting it back a few days later. Honestly such a huge answer to my prayers!
- We haven't had a lesson with Brittany in awhile cuz she's been busy so that makes me #bummed but we are teaching some more awesome people!! They are all progressing slowly but surely. The Lord is definitely teaching me patience with this area:)) It has been tough but I have learned so much.
- President Palmer called and told us that in order for me to go to Italy in June I will need to extend my mission 30 days. So I said let's do it!! I feel so blessed I'll get to serve 2 missions AND get to be a missionary for a little longer. God is so aware of my desires & I truly feel my prayers being answered in so many ways. 
- This week is our mission tour and it's been amazing. Elder Weatherford T. Clayton is here training the mission and I have already learned so much! Today he talked to us about how the missionary purpose should really be our purpose for the rest of our lives. And that the Doctrine of Christ is the road to eternal life. It's so true. I feel like my life is just beginning and there is so much more work to do! 

Lately, I have been focusing on truly loving everyone we come in contact with, and seeing them all as children of God. I find myself saying "We love you!!" to random people that I just barely met. Some are taken back by it, and others are brought to tears. I've come to realize that every person deserves to feel loved and we, as disciples of Christ, are obligated to remind them that they are! Show God how much you love Him by sharing the love:)

John 15.9 "As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love."

LOVE YOU ALL,
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 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 ...
