Well, guess
what? This week is transfers! And Sorella Carter and I are staying together!
YEAHHHHH!!! But...wait for it....we are getting another companion! Haha, we are
going to be in a trio with Sorella Gillette! Haha, we are so excited! She is in
the same group as Sorella Lopez, my trainer, so this is her last transfer in
the mission so we are all in for an exciting 6 weeks :) haha, Sorella carter
and I are so excited! It’s going to be so great.
Also, last Thursday
I got to go back to Firenze for a double zone conference! We had to take a
train at 6:28 in the morning and got back to Ravenna at 9:30 at night so we are
still recovering from the trip. Haha, it was so weird being back. I remembered
everything, it was like I had never left. I took Sorella Carter to get a
leather bag by the Duomo before we had to catch our bus, and I got to see Sorella
Jarvis again! She is still in Montevarchi :)
It was so
great and it was an amazing conference. We talked a lot about our desires and
how the only thing we can really give to the Lord in the end of it all is the
desires of our hearts and our will to follow Him. Everything else we could
possibly give him, he has already given us. Anziano Lee shared a talk by Neil
A. Maxwell called "swallowed up in the will of the Father" and it was
AMAZING. You all need to read it.
This week I
have learned so much and I feel like I keep learning so many things I can
improve. Not only in missionary work but just in life in general. We can all be
so much better than we already are if we just focus our lives on the Savior
instead of only thinking of ourselves. It’s something I am committed to
improving.
Also, this
week we are mourning the loss of our bikes: Davide and Isabella. They were
stolen on Friday night :( i know, It’s so sad. We had them locked up outside of
our apartment building and then when we went out on Saturday morning they were
gone. So sad. Luckily, the Anziani felt really bad for us and let us borrow
their bikes for a couple days until we bought new ones. Bless them. It was
pretty hilarious, though, to watch Sorella Carter and I try and ride boy bikes
in our skirts, hahaha classic.
And then by
some miracle we were able to find new bikes on Monday. My new bike is a BEAST,
haha. I named her Helga, she is ancient.
The bike store said as soon as they get another bike brought in we can come back
and exchange her for free. Haha but it’s okay, she just has a lot of character.
I am already getting attached to her. Sorella Carter’s new bike is named Irene.
We really miss Isabella and Davide, but it’s okay, we are just grateful we have
new bikes. Unfortunately, we now have to go out and find a third bike since we
are going to be in a trio now, haha, we are going to look like a small army,
the three of us riding alongside each other down these little tiny Italian
streets. I’m so excited haha.
I hope Anna loves
EFY! My new converts, Carolin and Alice are going to EFY here in Italy in
august! :) I am so excited for them too. And Mom and Dad!, i got your packages!
Thank you sooooo much!, from both me and my companion :) haha we loved it! :)
Well I think
that is all for this week! I love and miss you! have a great week! :)
Sorella Yost
