Hi Mom and Dad!
So this week has definitely been a week of
miracles. We have been so blessed. The president challenged us to get 21 lessons
is 8 days this week (he gave us an extra day because we had zone conference)
and my companion and I were able to call him and tell him we did it in 6...in
Montevarchi. He was so excited, haha we ended up getting 30 lessons in the 8
days and 26 for the week. We set the record for the zone and they think we may
have gotten the most out of anyone in the mission for that week. So that is
super awesome. And we had our baptismal date come to church which is such a
miracle. Investigators are never able to come to church, and she came! It was
so awesome and we think she really liked it and her daughter is meeting with us
now too and she is 16 and just the cutest thing ever. We are obsessed with her.
She totally knows it’s true, we can tell. The spirit is always so strong when
we teach her.
I have gained such a huge testimony of prayer. We have been
praying sooo much more this week and it definitely makes a difference. We have
been praying to find those who will listen to us and that is exactly what has
happened. We have met so many super nice people who will listen to our message
and even some who are interested in learning more! We have been teaching
anywhere we can, on the train, when we see people sitting on benches, people
randomly walking past us on the street. Anything haha it’s awesome. One lady we
met on the train loved us and even called us "angels". She was so
nice to us, and we met a guy from Brazil who was super awesome too - just so
many miracles. My companion almost got slapped by an older lady witha walker
though. haha She really didn’t appreciate us trying to talk to her, but that’s
okay, we tried!
Our members are really awesome and take such good care of us. There
is one lady in our branch who is such an amazing example of member missionary
work. She always wants to come out with the missionaries and always buys us gelato.
And she found out our favorite food is pizza so now she buys us pizza and then
buys us extra to take home for dinner haha she is so awesome, we love her.
I
got your packages this week! The two in padded envelopes and the one from
Amazon UK! Thank you so much Mom and Dad! I loved them! They were perfect! and I
have so much food now haha, the fruit leather is really good Dad and I love the
yogurt covered raisins too! Mom I loved the notes from the CTR 5s and all the
cards from Abbi and Anna and Will! Thank you so much! and the peanut butter is
soooo good. I ate it with an apple last night :) And I think of you every time I
eat the cinnamon bears because they remind me of you :) Will and Dad thank you
for all the cool BYU stuff! I loved it :) you send the best packages ever :) I
am set for a long time haha.
Did you ever get the letter and postcard I sent? I
found out the other day that those international stamps you sent me won’t work
here :( they only work for going anywhere from the US, so I had to buy some Italian
ones today. They are 2 euro each, so pretty expensive. But we aren’t going
anywhere today so that we can write letters home! and now that I have the right
stamps they should make it to you this time! I’m sorry I didn’t know that :( I
hope everything is good back home! I pray for you all the time and have lots of
pictures up of you. I look through that book you sent me all the time. Thanks
for everything you do for me! I love and miss you so much!
Love you!
