Letter #29 - 4/2/14

Hi Mom and Dad!

Okay so guess what...I am getting transferred to....ALESSANDRIA!!!!! I am super excited! I leave tomorrow morning for Milano and then from there to Alessandria. I can’t believe I am actually leaving Motevarchi. This place really has become my home here in Italy and I love the people here so much. Saying goodbye is really hard because you really don’t know when you will see them again. But I know that my time here is now done and that I am needed somewhere else now and that these people here need the new Sorella.

This week was really really good. Sorella Jarvis and I both gave talks in church, haha. So that was fun. Did I tell you that last week I was the chorister? Haha. Yep that happened. Oh! So miracle story for the week. We were sitting on a bench outside the train station and there were lots of people around us on the bench and then this young girl came and sat down close by us and she totally stood out to me and I knew I had to go talk to her. So I did. I went and sat by here and started talking to her and turns out she is from Japan! She was super sweet and I felt like I loved her before we even started talking. We told her we are missionaries here and that we talk to people about Jesus Christ and she was like “oh okay, so teach me about Jesus Christ." Haha. She didn’t have to ask us twice. we taught her a lesson and she let us pray with her and it was one of the coolest experiences ever. She was so great and the Spirit totally prompted me to go talk to her and I am so thankful I did.

Also. Sorella Jarvis and I came up with a plan to help people get to church. We just have to convert all the train conductors, haha. We have taught a few so far – so we will let you know how that goes. Oh my gosh. WAIT IM LEAVING. Dang. Haha!

I really am so excited for this new adventure. I’ll let you all know how things are in Alessandria :)

I love you Mom and Dad!

Sorella Alli
