Week 36: Long Live Sister Hick

-

Wow!! Whatta crazy, happy, stressful, spiritual, tear-filled, miracle-filled, awesome week! I don't even know where to begin...


I had always heard about everything going wrong on the week of a baptism, but I never understood it cuz all of mine always turned out great! But oh boyyy, Satan was doing everything he could to stop the baptism this week. And man did it tear me up inside. Made me so stressed and frustrated and UGH I hate Satan. I think I prayed more this week than I did in my 3 years of high school combined. I was praying and praying and praying that things would be okay & that this family would hold strong. And they did:) Cashlyn and her dad got dressed in white on Saturday! She came up from the water with a giant smile on her face and both of her parents were in tears. It was the most beautiful day!

Sunday was just as great! We had 7 nonmembers come to church. 7!! That's literally the amount of members that were coming when I first got here! It's remarkable to see how much the Lord has blessed this branch. It was the most spirit-filled sacrament meeting I've been to on my mission. Cashlyn was confirmed and received the Holy Ghost! Then me & my comp & a member sang a medley of "Come Thou Font & If You Could Hie To Kolob". I was literally shaking with nerves but it turned out pretty good and the spirit was pouring out of our little building. Who ever woulda thought I'd be singing in sacrament? HA Not me.

Sooooo Sunday night we got a call from President telling us some pretty crazy news. I'm being transferred BACK to Longmont to be companions with my trainer, Sister Aiono. Whaaaaaaat?! I am sooooo stoked!! I love Longmont. I love Sister Aiono. But at the same time, super bummed to be leaving Wyoming. I never could have imagined how much I would love it up here. I am SO grateful I got to serve here. I learned so dang much. From vaccinating goats to butchering sheep to talking like a full on cowgirl! These people have taught me to focus on what's most important in life and to always be willing to help anyone. 

God has shown me time and time again that I am here for a reason, and He has led me to people who I've been waiting my whole life to meet. These people have blessed me more than I ever could have blessed them.

I love the person Heavenly Father is helping me to become. I love my Savior. I love the mission. LONG LIVE WYOMING 

<3 Sister Pitt

PS. shoutout to the sweetest dad in the world who sent me roses for vday

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! So awesome:) "For behold, I am God; and I am a God of miracles; and I will show unto the world that I ...

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 ...
