Wow what a crazy busy week guys.....but first and foremost happy bday
shoutout to my comp! She hit the big 20 today🤗 and
now...........TRANSFER NEWS....drumrollll.....
........🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁
........................
I'm headed down south to beautiful Pisa:) I'm excited, nervous,
anxious.....ya lots of emotions, but excited mostly to see what the
lord has in store for me there, and the sweet people I will get to
meet.❤️ so if any of y'all have summer vacation planned to make your
way through Pisa, make sure to stop by church on Sunday and come say
hi;) lol I'll most likely stay there until October, so I'm sure I'll
be running into many familiar faces this summer😅 my new comp is
Sorella Diciola who actually served in this zone with me for 3
transfers, and she is Italian:) so good things yet to come!
Okay so week in a nutshell....welll TONS of member appointments, tons
of food, and tons of tears...😅
I thought the mission was hard, but then I had to say bye to these
people....wow that hurt...like a lot a lot. Church consisted of crying
approximately 30.5 times, lots of hugs, and baci's❤️ allesandro told
me like 10 times every tear I cry, the devil is smiling...I mean I
don't think that helped me feel any better.😅 ha but also guys
MIRACLES are real, and happening right before my very eyes like this
language...let me just tell y'all that Sunday was a day I'll never
forget, and god is soooo good!! GIFT OF TONGUES!! Almost 6 months in
this country and I can still barley understand the language, and then
Sunday I realized how much I understood, and walking away from so many
conversations realizing whoa, I just had a full on conversation with
that person. I didn't understand everything, but enough to respond.
it's all credit to the big guy upstairs. He definitely qualifies those
whom he calls, I will never doubt that for one second. Take me for
example...I never saw the day I would even be able to hold a
conversation with anyone....learning a language was one of my biggest
fears going a mission, but with trust in god and his plan for me and
sending me to Italy....I took that leap of faith, and grateful he has
helped me get this far. My heart is just so full of gratitude right
now for many things...
1. Our savior and his gospel
2. These sweet members in Collegno
3. My comp and the last 3 months of crazy adventure with her
4. sleep...oh so grateful for sleep😅
5. The many experiences thus far...both happy, hard, sad and the ones
yet to come...
6. Life❤️❤️ life is just so good, and I sometimes wonder how I was
blessed with what I have.
7. Change...even though it can be scary, it is the only way we can
grow...when we are comfortable, our growth flatlines and that's missed
opportunities.
8. And I'm grateful that these words came out of Sorella Miele's mouth
Sunday....(for the first time since I've been here) she told me
"Sorella Rindlisbacher, you finally learned the language and now you
are leaving." Haha wow I gotta get that on camera...Sorella Miele
finally had something nice to say about my garbage language skills!!😅
We had family night with the Aqavivias and wowza😍😍 talk about a
dream! They live in a beautiful home up in the mountains..castles in
the far distance, farms on all sides. goodness...it doesn't get better
than that! This family was the cutest and it just got me so excited to
have my own family one day! We watched padre Celeste padre eterno and
talked about our worth as his his children. The little kids
participated, and all wanted to share their testimonies after me and
Meager did...future missionaries, I think yes:)
We are coming home and totally forgot, it was Italian "Labor Day"
which also met buses stop running at 8...so what do we do, start our 2
hour walk home. I still need to pack, and the hunger pains were REAL
so we decide to call sorella Miele for a ride which this story is one
for the books.😂😂👍🏽
Explaining 10 times we are at the bus stop right after the one to take
for her house, we are standing there and I see this wild car come to a
halting stop at the light. "Sorell....I think that's Miele, but it's
dark and far enough i can't see if that's her car." (But the way this
lady drives you can pick her out from a mile away😅) sure enough here
comes Sorella Miele in this TINY fiat hauling down the road, getting
air over those speed bumps😂 she flies past us as we are trying to
wave her down...and then start chasing her car. Ya no hope, we gave up
after 10 sprints pointing at her car as it's flying up the hill...😂 I
have no idea where she was headed...but man she was sure getting
places.😂 anyways it was a good laugh, and I'm grateful she finally
found us and got us home finalmente.👍🏽
I got hit by a car....(sorry mom) ha actually he just hit my backpack
and took me for a little ride😅 you could say my heart stopped beating
a moment or 2!
And my favorite part of the whole week was last night....the highlight
of my mission thus far.❤️ a couple weeks ago with the anziani, we were
walking home from church and met john out with his dog who was
expecting puppies soon. We exchanged numbers and he told us he'd call
when puppies were here and we could go see them. Last night we were
all able to go over, and this family just stole my heart.❤️ the
puppies did too😜 after them asking many questions, we were able to
explain the difference between our church and theirs, and gave them a
Book of Mormon to read. Never have I seen people so excited to read
the Book of Mormon before..their eyes just lit up when they held it in
their hands. It was really such a special experience, and I'm sad I
have to leave them, but So excited to see what God has in store for
them.:)
I love you guys and thank you again for all the emails!! If I don't
respond this week, I'll respond to you next:)
Love Sorella rindlisbacher
