Sorry my email was crazy there for a minute but here's the actual
one:) Ciao Tutti! Hello and happy Wednesday morning(ish) to most of
you....still weird to think I'm 8 hours ahead here, but anyways this
week has been yet another cold and great week in Italia! I think I'm
use to the numb fingers and frozen toes when we come in at nights.
haha humidity+winter=no bene.😁 but nevertheless let me tell you guys
a few awesome things that happened this week...the second week of the
new year!
First of all random thought....fettuccine Alfredo does not exist in
Italy! Surprise😂😂🤗 I'm still heart broken about it, but it's okay I
guess....they still have pretty good pasta😉
Okay so this week we had some appointments with some members and less
actives, and I love love spending every minute with these sweet
people❤️ one family in particular (the Sassi's) I was very touched
when we went to their home. They were baptized about a year ago, but
finding work is extremely hard here in Italy, and because it's so
limited their job they have makes them work every Sunday, so they are
usually unable to come to church, but guys this cute family is so
extremely humble and loving. They have the strongest testimonies, and
despite the fact that they are barley making ends meet to put food on
the table for their family, they always try to feed us missionaries
when they can. The cute mom cooked us pancakes and "American" type
things cause she said she wants us to feel right at home.❤️ what a
sweet family and their son Francesco taught me lots of Italian so
that's always fun🤗 I love how 5 year olds teach me their
language....haha it's so funny cause I speak at the level of like a 3
year old, but guys guess what!! This week I'm understanding lots more,
and speaking lots more, and so extremely grateful that the lord helps
us missionaries learn the languages faster than I ever thought
possible. I still have a long ways to go, but finally this week the
verb conjugations clicked and I can understand them better now when I
hear them🤗 yay it's such a blessing❤️❤️
Okay so a few other things....
-we met a cute girl on the train (Catarina) and she said she wants to
meet with us once she gets her work schedule figured out!! Yay:)
-We had another lesson with Davidae and he is doing awesome! This week
we fasted with him (Sunday) and all knelt down together and prayed to
start it, and it was such a special spirit that I felt as Davidae
offered a very simple but heartfelt prayer to know if this church is
true. We are meeting with him this weekend so I will keep you guys
posted! Funny story though...Davidae is literally a champ....get this,
we gave him a chapter to read in il Libro di Mormon and it talks a lot
about humility and Davidae said when he read it, he had the impression
that he needs to be more humble so one day he wants to move to south
Italy and live on the streets and preach about God to everyone to show
more humility...he definitely took those scriptures to heart😅 but hey
we talked about missionaries...that's exactly what we do except we
don't have to live on the streets to be humble, it's our attitude and
intent of our hearts, so we cleared that up with him.
-we went to olgas again and got to cook some yum Italian food with
her! She is one good chef, and for pday soon we are gonna go over and
learn how to make deserts...like real Italian dolci!!! I'm so
excited🤗
-we Have this family that lives the floor under us, so we took them
some chocolate salami last night and gave them the plan of salvation
pamphlet and shared with them that we believe families can be together
forever. They said they will read it and hopefully we can go back next
week to visit them:) but oh my...me and Sorella Springer are SO done
with chocolate salami😅 anytime we bring it to people, they insist we
eat it with them...haha so it use to be yum, and now we can't stand
it😂
-I got my permesso Monday which means....I'm on my way to having
actual permission to live here😅 that day was such a rush and I biffed
it running up the stairs trying to catch our tram😂 definitely not the
first time that's happened....haha and my hand was frozen when they
tried to do the finger print stuff so the guy had me thaw it out in
warm water..😅👍🏽
-January is almost halfway over!!! I hope you are all staying up on your goals:)
-last night we had dinner with cute Sorella Miele, and she asked us to
teach her friend Carla the plan of salvation. It went really well, and
Carla wants to meet with us again next week:) members are awesome
inviting their friends to listen to the gospel message, and goes to
show, you don't need a name tag to be a missionary, there's
opportunities for each of us everyday to share our testimonies:)
Well guys that's it for the week, and lastly, thank you thank you for
all the emails❤️ sorry if I don't get back to you right away, we only
have so much time to email, but I promise I'll email you all back
eventually so thank you for them! I love hearing about all the things
happening in each of your lives. :)
Well I hope you all have a great week! Keep smiling, keep working hard
in school, work...whatever it may be, and friends on missions...keep
up the great work👍🏽 we will get through this winter together😅👊🏼
Love Sorella Rindlisbacher
