Week 69: Where are the miracles? Look for them!

-
Ciao a tutti:)) Wow. Another transfer down and I'm in denial that I only have 12 weeks left on the mission!! What the heck time plz slow down. We got transfer news and I will be staying here in windy Trieste! My cute comp is leaving me to serve in the little branch that we were covering about an hour away. I'm excited for a new transfer & new goals & lots of miracles!!

Speaking of miracles... this last week was miracle filled! Honestly nothing big or grand really happened, but I decided I needed to stop getting discouraged about the things that weren't happening, and truly open my eyes to see the tender mercies that occur every single day!

So here's miei miracoli piccoli recap:
- found out that one of the recent converts here still didn't have the priesthood so we started meeting with him every week & getting him prepared. And last week he got the priesthood!
- a recent convert family we teach once a week is preparing to go to the temple to be sealed in the coming months!
- we went to the park to meet up with someone for a lesson. Turns out he bailed on us, but we ran into a man who met with the Elders a few months ago and wants to meet with us again!
- the sweet old catholic women we are teaching said her first prayer with us:) called us her angels:,)
- 3 of our friends from English class came to church on sunday!
- we had a missionary activity with the youth and they ended up bringing 2 of their nonmember friends!
- we didn't miss any if our trains or buses!!

So honestly this week I feel like my eyes have been opened to the miracles that are happening all around me, sometimes I'm just too stubborn to see them. God is a God of miracles. He always has been and He always will be. I have come to learn that there is no such thing as coincidences or happy accidents. It is all Him! He lives! And He works through His children to perform miracles everyday! Oh how grateful I am for His steady guiding hand.

"no matter our circumstances, no matter our challenges or trials, there is something in each day to embrace and cherish. There is something in each day that can bring gratitude and joy if only we will see and appreciate it." -dieter f. uchtdorf

Look for your miracles this week:) love you!

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 ...

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 ...
