Week 35: Talking is hard. And charity is magical.

Allora peeps,

I have reached a magical point in my journey where I can no longer make the words in my brain come out in either language in the correct order. SO bear with me. Talking is hard.

This week was MUCH better than the last one, I love it when Heavenly Father pulls us through our hard times. I mean the numbers sucked just as bad, but we saw a ton of members, and I felt like something we did every day helped us to fulfill our purpose as missionaries of inviting others to come unto Christ. I am here to help these incredible people know that God loves them and that Christ died to save them. And literally every day this week, I was able to do exactly that :)

Honestly we just had a lot of member appointments, because we had another investigator drop us. Susana, the amazing Peruvian woman we met, found some work, so she is super busy now. So that kind of sucks....but I know that there are still people here that I need to find that I haven't met yet, and I am really motivated  to try and find them. Someone needs me to tell them that they are loved and that is exactly what I am going to do.

We did a district blitz in Ladispoli this week, we all went to their city to help them do a day of finding. There are only two sister missionaries for the whole ward, and it is a pretty big area, so it was great that we were able to go and help. Plus I got to work with Sorella Knight, who lived in one of the other new Heritage buildings at BYU while I was there. We know a lot of the same people, it was really fun to work with her. She has been in the mission for over a year, but she is actually younger than me in real life. It was a strange discovery.

I am so sorry that my emails are so void of details, I have a hard time keeping up in my journal, let alone writing an email at the end of the week. I wish I remembered more about what happens in the day to day stuff.

Comunque (anyway) the blitz was a lot of fun. Ladispoli is really cute, it is smaller than Ostia but still right on the beach. The sisters' house has a GORGEOUS view, see pictures attached. I am doing a lot better personally, just trying to apply all the things that I am studying.

Sorry for how short this is, I promise that I am doing really well and that everything is good here. I love my companion, she has been the joy of my transfer. I just can't think of anything else to write!!

Love you all, have a great week!
