"Sono Pronta"
Let's get this week started with some AMAZING NEWS YAY!!!!!
1) My bestie model and loves Jesus friend, Alice, will be baptized on July 27th! 
We asked her how she was feeling about baptism and she simply said
"sono pronta." (I'm ready.) I was able to extend my first baptismal
invite of my mission and there was such a sweet but powerful Spirit
present. Then she started talking about how baptism is a responsibility
and not just a one time decision but a decision we make every day and
every week when we take the sacrament and ahh she is just so golden. I
want to go to relief society with her for the rest of my life just so I
can hear her comments because I learn so much from her every time!! She
is amazing and so ready to make this first step on the covenant path!

My high school cross country coach is an OLYMPIAN!! Just got to throw
that in there because I learned so much from her and am so inspired by
Coach Marisa. The morning after we found out she made it to the
olympics, Sorella Wall and I decided it was the day we were going to run
and conquer the hill by our house- and we did!
3)
God's hand. I feel like a broken record at this point but it blows my
mind how present God's hand is in this work. I saw His hand in a woman
who at first told us she was non-religious but a week later asked us for
a Book of Mormon and a lesson. God changes hearts. I saw His hand when
we traveled 45 minutes to an appointment that fell through. We decided
to start visiting some people in our contacts who lived around the area
and ran into an Iranian woman from Seattle who is searching for a church
community. We sat down in the park with her and taught her the entire
Restoration just from questions she asked and promised to send her the
contact information of the missionaries in her area. And guess what- one
of the missionaries in the exact area where she lives is related to
Sorella Wall. That's no coincidence, And I even saw His hand in a sweet
woman at the bakery who gave us a free bag of croissants just because.
:) God sends tender mercies.
The
moral of the story this week: God is good. He loves you. Put in the
effort to learn about Him and I promise you will feel His love more
prevalent in your life.
