Week 60: "that's so fire"

Ciao mia famiglia e miei amici!! Come state?? Shoutout to miei cugini KJ and Caleb for returning from their missions in Chile with honor.  It was such a blessing to serve at the same time as them and I learned so much from their examples:) Another shoutout to my cousin Nate for getting engaged! So excited for you all!  It was a miracle filled week here in Genova! We were able to find 3 part member families that we are hoping to start teaching! I have been looking for part member families to teach for weeks now & I'm so grateful God led us to them! One of them is a sweet little family from Brazil. I have been contacting the mom since I arrived here in Genova and we finally set up a time to meet her! Little did I know that she has 2 little boys who haven't been baptized. Apparently the sorellas were teaching them weekly, but when Covid hit they lost contact. We had the most bellissima serata together! We talked and laughed and even learned a little Portuguese! They have so l...

Ciaoooooo what's up everyone:) I hope you are all having a great summer & excited to start school soon! My 2 greenies got here 2 weeks ago! One is Italian!!!! Meno male. Such a blessing. The other is from Utah and we are practically twins! Things were a bit difficult to adjust to at first but now they are going great. We've had some busy and wonderful weeks here in Genova! We've built some great relationships with the members, found a few new people to teach and good to bed every night exhausted from running around all day! Life is so hard but so good! I just wanted to share a little thought I had while sitting in church on Sunday. Here in Italy they have a national holiday called "Ferragosto" (its the day that the virgin Mary ascended into heaven) and the whole country basically closes down and goes on vacation for that weekend! Haha so classic. Anyways, when we showed up to church on Sunday, there was hardly anyone there because they were all on vacation. As...

Ciaooooo I'm alive and well!   sorry i haven't been writing emails!! Lol I promised my mom I'd send one this week:)  WOW one whole transfer down and we survived! To be honest I had my doubts! But with lots of help from the Lord and probably all my guardian angels putting in extra hours....we had an amazing transfer! We saw so many little miracles, made a million mistakes and learned a lot. I LOVE GENOVA! Highlights: - ward party!! The first ward activity they've had in 2 years. It was so fun! We had a volleyball tournament on the beach and it was so classic watching all the cute Italians interact together. I still can't figure out if they are yelling cuz they love each other or hate each other?? - a man we are teaching went in for surgery this week and asked if he could receive a priesthood blessing before! We met at the church with a member in our ward, taught a lesson & had the blessing! It was bellissima:)) - we have been starting  all our of lessons by singi...
