Week 78: Christmas in Italy!

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 ...

**the subject line is a direct quote from our ysa Nigerian member who I'm convinced is gonna be a prophet on day lol Ciaooooo!! Life is so good! Here's a quick update from me:) - I have never been so happy! Seriously I have just been soaking up the good & the bad & everything in between. I figure I only get a few more sleepless nights of stressing over the salvation of these sweet italian souls so I gotta live it up:)) - we got invited my a old lady in our ward to go watch her & her old lady friends sing carols! It was classic. I've decided that watching a bunch of Italian grandmas sing jingle bells is the greatest thing in the world...next to a good carbonara - we had our english class on zoom and just one person showed up. But she was a nonmember! I felt inspired to ask her if she has any questions about our church and she completely opened up & asked us some great things! So we ended up having an awesome lesson on the gospel of Jesus Christ and she's ...

Quick email to make my mama happy:) CIAO! eccomi! This is my last transfer 🥺 crazy. Time is flying way too fast. But let me just say that in this very moment I don't think I've ever been happier!! Life is so good. GOD IS SO GOOD. And he's been blessing us with so many tender mercies! Some highlights: - I got a new comp and she is the best!! We spent our first day running for 20 minutes straight trying to catch a train. Nothing like two 20 year olds in long dresses and trench coats running through the streets of Trieste with Book of Mormons in their hands and the wind in their hair:,) - CHRISTMAS!! Christmas here is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. The streets are filled with lights, there is music playing in the streets, little markets set up all around town and so much joy in the air! But above all, we got to spend all day talking about Christ and lighting the world! It's just so wonderful. - DAVIDE! I have been praying for the last 4 months for a prepared...
