Week 53: Felicita!!

-
Ciao a tutti!! Uauuuu it has been a bellissime 2 weeks here in Italia:) I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of things here and just falling in love with every accept of the mission & this gorgeous country!

Highlight reel:
- We have an absolute baller member here who is having us teach all of her friends. Literally how did we get so blessed?! 
- Despite the fact that Sorella Hatch and I can't speak the language, we have taught more in the past 2 weeks than ever before! The Lord is blessing us with the words to speak & even though we probably sound like 4 year olds, the people are understanding! Or at least they say they are?!
- We had an amazing lesson of the Restoration with our new friend Giulia. We taught very simply but powerfully. When I recited the first vision the spirit just flooded the room & you could tell she felt it. I loved being able to testify to her of the truthfullness of this gospel. That lesson was my favorite experience I've had here in Italy. Her desire to learn more is continuing to grow and it's truly so amazing to see. Please pray for Giulia!
- we had dinner with these 2 cutie members the other night. They are both widows and just absolutely love having company. We ended the night singing Italian hymns with them & it was so tender:)
- Our first day trynna figure out the buses on our own was a complete disaster! We ended up traveling an hour in the wrong direction & kept wondering the streets asking people for directions like the stupid Americans we are!
- seriously so many other little miracles & blessings & funny experiences I could go on for hours

I AM SO HAPPY! i love Italia! i love missionary work! There is nothing I would rather be doing and i seriously feel like the luckiest person in the world:) God is so so good!!

Thank you for all the many prayers and emails these past few weeks! I truly feel your love from oceans away!! Also I promise to respond to your emails eventually!

VI VOGLIO BENE,
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 ...
