Week 55: Forza Azzurri!

BUONGIORNOOOO


I'm alive! It has been an amazing few weeks here in Genova! Everyday is a new adventure and I love it:) Lots of laughing at language errors, running to catch trains, and waking up to the cheers of the entire country when Italia won the European cup!!! Best of all, we've seen some amazing miracles❤ I wanna share just one of them with you !

So last week I was asked by our bishop to give a talk in church...I was excited but also dreading it at the same time. Speaking italiano in front of the whole ward for 10 minutes?? Spookyyy! Anyways, as I prepared to write my talk I offered a prayer to my Father in Heaven. I asked Him to inspire me to know what to say, and I specifically asked that my words would touch at least ONE person. That I would say something that one person needed to hear & they would feel the spirit confirm it to them. I really wanted this. I had complete faith that God would provide me with this person. So sunday rolls around and we show up to church, and 4 people were there. No not 4 investigators. 4 people total. I was bummed! Here I spent all this time working on my talk and no one was gonna hear it! But I reminded myself, God will provide! I told him I had faith and I need to stick to that.

Sorella Hatch and I sent the Zoom link to a million people hoping they would join right before the meeting started. I got up and gave my talk. It actually went pretty well and the spirit was strong! Well, just a few minutes later we got a text from our friend Giulia (who we've been trying to get in contact with for 2 weeks). That text was my tender mercy, Giulia was the one person! She called me an angel, told us how much she needed to hear my words, and how the spirit helped her realize that the Atonement is for HER.

I just want you all to know that faith works. Prayer works. There's no doubt about it! When we ask for something, doubting nothing and expecting miracles, He always provides:)

Moroni 9:21 
"Behold, I say unto you that whoso believeth in Christ, doubting nothing, whatsoever he shall ask the Father in the name of Christ it shall be granted him; and this promise is unto all, even unto the ends of the earth."

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 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 ...
