Wednesday, September 11: the people of Oristano

 

Ciao alllll 

Monday we had transfer calls. My bestie comp is going back to Rome and i'm kinda really so sad about it. But since she's leaving we got to go around Oristano and see all of our favorite people and it made my week so happy. The people here have my whole heart. They are so good. 
 
Antonio went from smoking 3 packs a day to 3 cigarettes a day. He also loves orzo (coffee substitute) - WIN. 
 
Antonello got a tour of the church by the Anziani in Cagliari. He texted us and said "I just got home, I am so tired but infinitely happy." He's having some concerns with tithing and the quote of the week comes from him when he said: "Sorelle, I'm not rich. I'm rich in my soul." 
He's so pure. 
 
We went to go visit the Mulas family for Sara's birthday! They have 5 little girls and it is the most chaotic and happy time being with them. I admire Lara (the mom) so much and her love and desire to raise her girls in the gospel, even when it's hard to get them all to church. 
Our police friends drew us and it's my favorite thing ever hahaha good guys to have in your corner lol. 

I found this absolute gem in Psalms 26 this week: 
1 Judge me, O Lord; for I have walked in mine integrity: I have trusted also in the Lord; therefore I shall not slide. 
2 Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my reins and my heart.
3 For thy lovingkindness is before mine eyes: and I have walked in thy truth

Integrity is the foundation of character. Me and Sorella Taylor hit integrity HARD this transfer haha and it has been so cool to see my self confidence and spirituality grow as I've focused on my integrity. If you want to have the coolest studies ever get on the integrity/character grind haha I promise it won't disappoint! Lmk what you learn:) 

Love you all!!! Have a fantastic week wherever you are in the world 🌏💫
Sorella McCune

SHE'S A RUNNER

  Hellooooo and happy summer everybody!    Things are starting to heat up down here in Sicilia, (quite literally-there was a huge fire the other day but tutto bene!) but me and my new companion, Sorella Wall, are ready to conquer the heat in our apartment with no AC!! hahaha we'll be fine... Also- SHE IS A RUNNER!!! Answer to prayers.  We've run every morning since being companions (down by the sea hehe) and my soul is slowly starting to heal.   Sorella Wall is a grinder of a runner and a grinder of a missionary! I don't think I've ever worked this hard in my life and also had this much fun while doing it! It kind of feels like everything that could've gone wrong this first week went wrong lol, but Sorella Wall has showed so much patience and flexibility that inspires me.  There have been so many times where we could've given up and cried but we have both just chosen to laugh and it has made things so much happier. I'm so excited and happy t...

Wednesday, October 16 Hello!!  Okay I've got 2 stories for you to show why I just love this place and these people and this work so stinking much.  Number 1! A couple weeks ago Sorella Riley found a lady named Stacey on Facebook! She is from Pennsylvania but married a man from Oristano and has lived here with her son for 7 years. She grew up going to young women activities and church with her friend who is a member and asked if we could bring her a new copy of the Book of Mormon because she lost hers. Say less!! We drove the 15 minutes into the countryside and looked for her gate on a street with no name haha, literally in the middle of nowhere. She welcomed us into her home/farm with open arms and made us feel so at home and appreciated! It was so cool seeing her animals that all just roam around her yard together, they're all so friendly! If I can remember correctly she has... 2 donkeys, 2 emus, 30 chickens, 6 cats, 1 dog, 3 goats, 1 sardegnian sheep (!!), 4 para...
