My dear family and friends❤️
Ciao ciao!!! Awe okay so so many miracles this week I don't even know
where to begin but first and foremost I have to say one
thing....Italian candy, toothpaste, finocchio (weird vegetable
thing)....THEY ALL TASTE LIKE BLACK LICORICE😅 it's so sad, they are
missing out on so many yum things like skittles, and minty
toothpaste....and ya brushing my teeth is always black licorice
aftertaste haha so that's fun but anyways okay so this week. :)
We talked to so many people out on the streets, buses, and
metros....we did some hard finding for 3 straight days, and faced lots
and lots of rejection, but nevertheless we found a handful of people
who gave us their numbers and want to know more. :) we are so excited,
and honestly, there are people everywhere we go, we just have to open
our mouths and find them. Italians are so silly and say 1 of 2 things
which we hear almost all the time...
1. I was born Catholic. And most of the time they never go to church
or read their bible but it's become more of a culture than religion
out here.
Or...
2. I don't believe in God because bad things happen to good people and
if God was real this wouldn't happen.
But we found a good scripture in Alma 60:13 That gives a good
explanation, and then we can hand them the book of Mormon to take and
read:) Anyways, It's helped my testimony grow so much being on my
mission and that I am grateful to know these things are true, that God
is real, and he loves us. Lots of these people here think opposite of
that, and they say life has no purpose, but I am grateful that I know
that each one of us has a purpose, and that is to grow and learn here
on earth to return to our father in heaven one day, and I get to share
that with everyone. :)
-We had such an awesome lesson with Silvana, and asked her husband to
come talk with us that night...usually he says no, but this time he
said yes! We had a great lesson on the plan of salvation, and the
spirit in the room was so strong and gift of tongues is so real❤️God
helped me say exactly what I needed to say and they understood every
word😅🙏🏼 even in my nast American Accent...lol! but cute Silvana
said they will read IL Libro Di Mormon together and yay miracles❤️
-SORELLA SPRINGER SLPET TALKED IN ITALIAN THE OTHER NIGHT!!! Oh my
heavens it scared me so bad...haha so that was interesting!!
-We also had an awesome lesson with Davide this week, and He Looked at
us right in the eyes and said do you know this is true?? Everything
you are telling me?? I looked at him right in the eyes and said
Davide, sono Positiva:) I Wouldn't be here and leave everything behind
for these 18 months if I didn't know this was true. He said okay, I
want to know that too, so I am going to start reading the Book of
Mormon every night....it was a really cool experience, and we are
excited to see the good things ahead of him!
-We go get bread lots at the bakery for our PBJ'S :D and the cute
fella knows our order now..haha it's the cutest! He gets so excited
every time we come in, and runs to grab our bread and slices it so
perfectly and bags it with just the biggest smile on his face:) ha
what a cute man! I Love these Italians<3 :)
-Last night I ran faster than I ever have to catch a bus in my whole
life.....I turned into a wonder woman!!! Haha And happy to say, we
caught it just in time:)
-We had our first real Tiramisu and homemade too!!! Olga is the best
cook, and soon for pday we are going over to her house to learn how to
make it, and homemade croissants with nutella:)
-Also, never noticed till this week, but Italian drivers are so silly
and Fly over these curbs..haha drivers here scare me!
-We also got to go visit some cute families in the ward this week, and
one of them the sweet mom gave me and Sorella Springer matching
scarfs<3 These members are always so giving and loving....they are the
best!
Okay guys well me and Sorella Springer are heading home, so last thing
I wanna say is this, I love you all so so much and thank you for all
the prayers, and emails<3 Hope you all have a great week!

Not a good quality pic but some of the members of our ward.
Sky is so pretty tonight! Also today we talked to so many people and family. 3 of them want us to meet with them. I know that doesn't sound like a lot, but that is in italy!
Scavenger hunt for pday today and I had to go dance by random people and clearly they didn't like it too much haha!
When bananas go on sale.. this is what happens haha
Real tiramisu guys and it was buonissimo!
We made pizza for dinner tonight, and it was yummm
The amount of photos and videos she has sent through photo share has become A LOT less if you can't tell. I think that must be a good thing! She is looking so happy in this picture, and as she said is getting the language SO much better. So that makes me so happy and proud. Already 3 1/2 months in!
