Week 65: Trieste!!

Image
Buongiornoooo:) whats up everyone! Well after 3 trains & 7 hours of traveling all alone with 2 giant suitcases...I made it to the beautiful Trieste! I didn't think anywhere could be prettier than Genova but WOW was I wrong this place is gorgeous. I think God felt bad for keeping me landlocked in the states for so long that now he's letting me serve in all the seaside cities! My comp and I are whitewashing (aka both brand new to the area) so we've been spending the last two weeks working to get to know the members and finding people to teach! We have seen so many miracles, big & little. They have helped me remember that God is truly in the details of our lives. Here's just one I wanted to share: - We were on the bus the other day and a group of high schoolers got on. I noticed one of the girls who was standing alone in the back of the bus and looked like she didn't have any friends.  The spirit told me to open my mouth and talk to her so I did! I started aski...

Week 63: Coast to coast

ECCO MI! È VIVA! Another transfer down and I'm getting worse and worse at sending these weeklys...  But let me just start by saying I am so happy. I feel so lucky to be a servant of the Lord serving in the beautiful country of Italy with the most amazing people:) There's honestly no one else I'd rather be. Not even Waiamea Bay, and that's saying something! Let's dive right into it shall we: - the dreaded day has come & I found out I'm leaving my beloved Genova. I'm being transferred to Trieste! Literally the opposite corner of the mission. 7 hours on a train baby!! - we met this cool 25 yr old from Colombia who literally came up to us on the street and wanted to talk because he saw Jesus's name on our tags!! Our lesson was a mix of Spanish, English and Italian but that didn't keep the spirit from touching his heart:) There are so many people out there who are just dying to talk about Jesus! - ELDER BEDNAR. Literally one of the biggest highlights ...

Week 62: Personal letter to Kate

Ciao bella! My sweet sissy. How are you? Honestly you can just tell me how you are and what you're really feeling and how mad you are at the world right now. I can't even imagine and I won't try to pretend like I can. I'm so sorry Katie:( my heart broke for you when I heard the news. You don't deserve this at all. You are such a good & righteous & kind girl and you deserve your senior year! You worked so hard to recover and you played so well in your first 9 games. I wish I could take this trial from you I really wish I could. I have been praying & fasting & pleading for God to send all of my blessings to you this week. I hope you feel my love for you, but more importantly God's love for you. I know you are mad. Confused. Frustrated. All the things. I can't tell you exactly what you are feeling but I can imagine you are thinking to yourself "why would God do this to me?? I have lived a good life and made good choices and all I want is to...
