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 ...

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...

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 l...

Ciaoooooo what's up everyone:) I hope you are all having a great summer & excited to start school soon! My 2 greenies got here 2 weeks ago! One is Italian!!!! Meno male. Such a blessing. The other is from Utah and we are practically twins! Things were a bit difficult to adjust to at first but now they are going great. We've had some busy and wonderful weeks here in Genova! We've built some great relationships with the members, found a few new people to teach and good to bed every night exhausted from running around all day! Life is so hard but so good! I just wanted to share a little thought I had while sitting in church on Sunday. Here in Italy they have a national holiday called "Ferragosto" (its the day that the virgin Mary ascended into heaven) and the whole country basically closes down and goes on vacation for that weekend! Haha so classic. Anyways, when we showed up to church on Sunday, there was hardly anyone there because they were all on vacation. As...

Ciaooooo I'm alive and well!   sorry i haven't been writing emails!! Lol I promised my mom I'd send one this week:)  WOW one whole transfer down and we survived! To be honest I had my doubts! But with lots of help from the Lord and probably all my guardian angels putting in extra hours....we had an amazing transfer! We saw so many little miracles, made a million mistakes and learned a lot. I LOVE GENOVA! Highlights: - ward party!! The first ward activity they've had in 2 years. It was so fun! We had a volleyball tournament on the beach and it was so classic watching all the cute Italians interact together. I still can't figure out if they are yelling cuz they love each other or hate each other?? - a man we are teaching went in for surgery this week and asked if he could receive a priesthood blessing before! We met at the church with a member in our ward, taught a lesson & had the blessing! It was bellissima:)) - we have been starting  all our of lessons by singi...

BUONGIORNOOOO I'm alive! It has been an amazing few weeks here in Genova! Everyday is a new adventure and I love it:) Lots of laughing at language errors, running to catch trains, and waking up to the cheers of the entire country when Italia won the European cup!!! Best of all, we've seen some amazing miracles❤ I wanna share just one of them with you ! So last week I was asked by our bishop to give a talk in church...I was excited but also dreading it at the same time. Speaking italiano in front of the whole ward for 10 minutes?? Spookyyy! Anyways, as I prepared to write my talk I offered a prayer to my Father in Heaven. I asked Him to inspire me to know what to say, and I specifically asked that my words would touch at least ONE person. That I would say something that one person needed to hear & they would feel the spirit confirm it to them. I really wanted this. I had complete faith that God would provide me with this person. So sunday rolls around and we show up to churc...

Ciao a tutti!! Uauuuu it has been a bellissime 2 weeks here in Italia:) I feel like I'm starting to get the hang of things here and just falling in love with every accept of the mission & this gorgeous country! Highlight reel: - We have an absolute baller member here who is having us teach all of her friends. Literally how did we get so blessed?!  - Despite the fact that Sorella Hatch and I can't speak the language, we have taught more in the past 2 weeks than ever before! The Lord is blessing us with the words to speak & even though we probably sound like 4 year olds, the people are understanding! Or at least they say they are?! - We had an amazing lesson of the Restoration with our new friend Giulia. We taught very simply but powerfully. When I recited the first vision the spirit just flooded the room & you could tell she felt it. I loved being able to testify to her of the truthfullness of this gospel. That lesson was my favorite experience I've had here in I...
