Rugby, saving birds, and THE WORST JAM EVER!!!!

Hello my dear family and friends

How's spring treating everyone??? Me and Sorella Meager have received some nice sunburns and farmers tan lines this week...so I can only imagine what it's going to be like in the summer

this week was oh such a good week

firstly, Just gotta say I literally have the BEST comp...this is my second ingrown toenail she has dug out... gross huh

no other words needed, like really she is a champ! Okay now highlights of the week:

-we had exchanges and the sorelle came here! We found 12 new potentials, and talked to so many people:) it was a great time, full of many miracles and MANY laughs! For example....we were up finding in this park area where it's mostly full of super old people, groups of grandpas yelling at each other with their hands flinging every direction.

literally too funny! Me and Sorella Lu Rosso walk over to these 2 gramps sitting on a bench, and the one, (Alberto) starts yelling at us saying god isn't real..,then his friend starts defending us saying you're crazy Alberto! Look around you! God is too real....well turns out his friend was super interested, so while Sorella Lu Rosso was talking to him, I tried to occupy Alberto and I think he asked me 10 times my thoughts on trump, 5 times that he loves blonde girls with blue eyes, (ha I'm thinking comeonnnn Alberto...let's stay focused here!) and how the world is such a bad place....but his heart started to soften when I talked to him about why we are here as missionaries and then asking him questions about what the purpose of life is...made him think a little bit:) I talked with him about the plan of salvation, and made him promise he'd read the pamphlet so hey, it turned into a positive experience for all of us! Also our apartment is TINY so me and Sorella Meager had to share a mattress and somehow fit both of ourselves on a twin...plus both slept a whole 27 minutes...comp unity is on firaaa

🏼 and found a jumping spider which he's lonnngg gone.....can't find the thing anywhere! Another super cool miracle on exchanges...we are walking down the street, I look at Sorella Lu Russo and say, k we are gonna stop this guy and he will give us his number...well guess what...that's exactly what happened

pretty cool!

-we are on the bus and I hear this guy speaking some crazy cool language.....he was African so I'm thinking like pigeon language or something, turn to Sorella Meager and ask her...she gives me a blank stare and I just knew...that can't be Italian...well sure enough it was

crap, yes 6 months out and still can't differ what is and what isn't Italian.

-I'm eating a ppj the other day, put "jam" on it, and look up at my comp with a disgusted face... "sorell this is NOT jam...." look at the jar, sure enough I bought pie filling instead, I mean I could read the strawberry (fragola) part

🏼

-this dog ALWAYS jumps out and scares us on the way home from the church....I've walked that path for 5 months now, and he still gets me EVERYTIME!!!! So the other day, me and Sorella Meager snuck up on him and we all scared each other....it was a win win I guess

-Sunday, we met this guy on the bus (josh) who actually came up to us in his very thick Guatemalan accent yelling "hey sisters!!!!" Always catches me off guard when people speak English to us

we invited him to English class, and sports night:) then after church our Italian grandparents canceled, so we call grazia (a less active), go visit her, and then turns out she invites tons of family over, and her cute friend Asunta who asks us if she can learn more about our beliefs...WHOA cool! She invited us to an Easter party Monday:) excited!! We met another lady coming home (van Anh) and are actually teaching her tonight:) miracles guys

we found lots of people to teach this week!

-Sorella Meager saved a hurt bird on the way to church, we put him in the grass, so I think it's safe to say she saved his life:)

-we had awesome lessons with sepideh, Silvana, and Lucca this week! Especially with Lucca...the spirit was so strong, and we are starting at the very basics with him because he doesn't believe in God, and let me tell y'all, hearing him pray is the most humbling thing! He has like a legit conversation with God, and it reminds me how God really wants to hear everything we have to say, about our day, our thoughts, our fears, and our dreams....I mean after all he is our older dad, and that's what dads like to do is listen to their kids talk about everything! :)

-WE PLAYED RUGBY for sports night!!!! Awe literally me and Meager DEStROYeD!

🏼

haha I kid...it's hard but so fun!!! We played 2 hand touch,and yes so much fun:) then played some basketball, and I gotta work on the vertical

but I won horse so (Wes, and gav you'd be proud)

-we got to visit adorable sorella Miele again and always so good to be in her house and feel of her sweet spirit

we showed her the new Easter video, and awe it's so good

guys you gotta go watch it! Christ truly is the prince of peace.....and being a missionary and hearing some of these people's stories and how they came to find that themselves strengthens my testimony everyday. We all have our own challenges, and trials in life, but because we all have our older brother Christ who loves and knows each of us so perfectly through his atonement, we all can find peace through life thank you to our savior. This Easter week, Me and Sorella Meager wanted this to look more for the hands of God in our life everyday and I would like to challenge all of you to do the same. It's Easter week, and a great time to serve and love:) so go and do!!

Love you all and have a great week:)

Love Sorella Rindlisbacher

Quote of the week "great love is built on great sacrifice. Service is rarely needed at a time which is convenient."

Sports night. Played some rugby, volleyball, and basketball!

The 2 men on the right are georgic and ricardo! They are seriously so awesome and funny. Met them at rostra today and invited them for sports night, and they came :) And I had a super good conversation with him. half english half italian. haha he helped me speak a lot though! Anyway he thought it was super cool that we are here not getting paid to share this message of happiness with everyone :) super awesome guys! They are gonna come play sand volleyball with us p-day!
