Hello one and all:)
ive been having problems with my ipad email app, so sending my group email off today...but
to start things on a crazy note, yes we saw three goats give birth at the farm with barbara and her kids this week....it was out of control!! Haha literally one after another...must be that time of year I guess...so welcoming in spring and warm sunshine:)
Wow transfers already...we find out Saturday, but kinda guessing I will stay here In collegno for one more with Sorella Meager, so You'll all know by next week what the news is:)
Highlights of the week:
-Well I lost my wallet, and let me tell y'all....god answers prayers!!! I FOUND IT IN THE CHURCH and never even remember taking it out of my backpack there...so miracles, i think yes!
-I got my Permesso, so finally have permission to live here in Italy...Yay:)
-here's where Miracles and M&M's come into play....well monday night we had family night at the Lusso's house which was so fun<3 I love love them, and the sassi's were there too, so always fun teaching the sweet members! After we caught a train to come home, and our bus was late, so Sorella Meager goes over to the venting machine to get Peanut M&M's....her credit card won't work, and then this little lady cleaning the things runs over to help, and turns out, Sorella Meager didn't get her M&M's, but instead we exchanged numbers with this cute lady, and talk about being in the right place at the right time!!!.....she was hugging us, and giving us bacci's like we had always been friends! Haha what a cutie<3 We will set up an appointment soon with her to teach her! So excited:)
-Well after watching craziness go on at the farm with everyone giving birth, we went to the park after with Barbara and her little kids. It resulted in me pancaking it on the rocks and cutting up my knees, and Sorella Meager kicking the soccer ball and almost took a grams head out, but she dodged it, so meno male....everyone is alive and okay! Barbara is my favorite, and such an amazing example to me of strength and faith! Although her life and challenges have not been easy, and really no one should EVER have to go through what she is experiencing, she continues to smile, and look for the good in life, never forgetting that our savior walked her footsteps first and paid the price so all of us could overcome the hardships of life, and help us find and feel joy through the power of the atonement. if anyone knows what enduring to the end means, it's sweet Barbara<3
-Sunday we went to Marina's Aunt and uncles house for lunch who are not members. Marina is from Utah, and here to study Italian. Well....These people were AWESOME! Mario (the uncle) tries to give sorella Meager knuckles and punches her so hard!!! Haha SO FUNNY! He kept apologizing for the hard hit, but anyways after eating some yummy food and lots of laughs, we shared a spiritual thought with them and BAM...talk about rejection.....it's hard, especially when people tell you what you believe isn't real, but nevertheless the lord's work still moves forward:) after we went to a less active's home (Grazia) and talked about the importance of the Book Of Mormon! Since being a missionary, I've really come to see that most people who are inactive are also not reading their scriptures, which I will say....until my mission, I've never really appreciated the scriptures like I do now because Being out here, I now have truly come to know for myself that The Book of Mormon is what makes this church true after studying and praying for myself to know...So even if you've read it once, or never started...Like we invited Grazia to reread it and pray again to know if it's true, I invite all of you to do the same. :) It will change your lives I promise as it has changed mine<3
-We started a sports night which is happening every Saturday, and have invited so many people! This way the youth can invite friends and we can make it a fun thing for the community and introduce lots of people to the church all the while playing games together and making new friends! It'll be awesome...especially with this warm weather...loving spring time:)
-And lastly, english class.....ohhhh boyyy we had so many people show up wednesday night, and to say the least...I don't even know how this language works! Haha we practiced vowel pronunciation, and then getting asked questions like how come enough isn't spelled with an f at the end because of the way it's said....ya NO COMMENT THERE....Haha I don't even know how my own language works...I guess it's true, english is confusing, Italian is hard, but really...when it comes down to It, Italian makes WAY MORE SENSE THAN ENGLISH EVER WILL!!
Anyway I love you all and hope you have another great week<3
Quote of the week: "Faith in god includes Faith in his timing...those who leave everything in God's hand will eventually see God's hand in everything."

Visiting the farm with cute Barbara!
everyone was giving birth today... except this one had a problem and couldnt get the egg out. But we watched 3 goats births!
we went to beatiful superga that had the most amazing overview!!! The church was awesome, and on the back, they had a memorial for the Torino soccer team who passed away many years ago on a plane crash on the way home from a soccer match. They were the best of the best back then, so very tragic, but really cool memorial!
