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 little but are so happy with their simple life together. We taught the little boys about prayer and it melted my heart to see them listen so intently and answer our questions so eagerly. We left their tiny home that night feeling so full! Feeling so excited to see where the gospel takes this family and so happy to be missionaries. It was one of those, "this is why I'm here" moments. I have had many of these moments on my mission, yet sometimes I still tend to forget. But God never fails to remind me again & again that He is there, He is in charge and His promises are always fulfilled when we exercise our faith:) 

Nephi 27:23 "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I am the same yesterday, today, and forever; and I work not among the children of men save it be according to their faith."

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!

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 ...
