Wednesday, February 19: best day ever.' Saturday might just have been the most beautiful day of my whole mission. They did it!! My best friends are baptized and confirmed members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints!!! I wish I had words to describe the joy and spirit that was there. Everyone who came felt it. Everything went smoothly except the font overflowing (oops colpa nostra ) but better to have too much water than not enough right haha? So many members and friends came, as well as 2 of Danilo's daughters and Monica's sister! Monica and Danilo felt loved and supported by their new ward family which was exactly what we hoped for. The Petrollini's, Salvatori's, and a few other members sang a song about knowing people in the preexistence and promising to come find them and help them along the covenant path and I don't think there was a dry eye in the whole chapel. Danilo and Monica bore their testimonies at the pulpit together and...
Wednesday, 28 August, 2024 Ciao! On Sunday Antonello surprised us by driving the hour and a half from his house in Ales to Oristano!! It's a huge sacrifice for him and so it meant so much. I'll never forget the moment he wheeled around the corner with the biggest smile on his face. There was a family from Germany visiting and it was so sweet to see their two sons bless and pass the sacrament for our tiny branch. It reminded me of my younger brothers and was like a little piece of home <3. Sorella Taylor and Ania gave beautiful talks and I played "I am a child of God" on the piano. Also Valeria (a less active member) came AGAIN for the 3rd time after 2 years!!! Another Sunday full of miracles. On Tuesday Sorella Taylor hit ONE YEAR WAHOOOO! So grateful for that girl. We celebrated with YUM pizza (cooked by Andrea, our friend who's a pizza chef ) and one of our favorite families. Valentina and Carolina crack me UP. Today for pday we wen...
Ohhhhh God is good.This week was stressful and humbling and found me on my knees 99% of the time and though it's hard, these have become some of my favorite weeks in the mission. President Nelson said it best: "The Savior is never closer to you than when you are facing or moving a mountain with faith." AMEN! I've seen this over and over again in my mission and saw it once again this week. Last week I recieved the assignment and opportunity to be an stl (sister training leader)! Adjusting has been a little overwhelming and also amazing at how the heavens have opened as I've turned to God in prayer and I've recieved revelation for my zone and the mission. All of the ZLs and STLs in the mission traveled to Rome for MLC (mission leadership conference) and it was so fun and powerful to be able to learn from so many amazing leaders and missionaries. (And see some of my besties:)) This is one of my favorite quotes from the week: "To be effective C...
