our new convert wrote a song about Jesus

Happy 2025! 🎉 Here's a quote to get you thinking as we get back into the grind of things. 
"A life of integrity is not a life of perfection, it is a life in which we strive every day to foremost be true to God and, within that context, to be true to others." -Elder Jack N. Gerard

Not much to update on over here, just doing my best to keep up the daily grind! It's hard work but God is good and it is good to be one of His servants. 
Little miracles this week: 
-our neighbor who normally avoids us at all costs accepted a Book of Mormon! 
-we went on a beach walk/run during a exchange with the sorelle di Perugia and God blessed us with the most beautiful sunrise 
-we had the opportunity to go to a food bank and make dinner and serve it to people. It was so fun! I've never diced so many tomatoes in my life haha
-our friend gave us a whole block of my favorite pecorino cheese (YUM) 
-our new convert Alessio wrote a song with his testimony of Jesus... i'll leave it and the lyrics below 
-a lady who met with the sorelle in the past contacted us and asked if we could explain Lehi's vision of the tree of life to her! She said she set a new years goal to read the whole Book of Mormon. It has been so cool to see the impact the Book of Mormon has in the lives of the people I meet. It really is powerful and I know it is the key to the gathering of Israel! 

Love you all! 
Sorella McCune 

Alessio's song (English translation) 
Take me where my immense faith will be
Where evil always loses
There is no suffering
Take me where my life will improve
Walking on the water
To follow your voice

I don't know if I'll ever understand the love you gave me
After everything I've done you're still in love with me
You're more than the early morning, the water I drink, the air I feel
You're inside my heart at every moment
On the cross you paid my ransom with pain and blood
It's only thanks to you that now I'm forever redeemed
I ask you to forgive me if I sometimes make mistakes
But even in sports there is a second half
Please, watch over and take care of my family
And maybe in the future give me a son or a daughter
I promise you that I will never let evil win again
Because you didn't suffer for my defeat

Take me where my immense faith will be
Where evil always loses
There is no suffering
Take me where my life will improve
Walking on the waters
To follow your voice
Take me where my immense faith will be
Where evil always loses
There is no suffering
Take me where my life will improve
Walking on the waters
To follow your voice

I promise you that I will never give in to evil again
Because you did not suffer for my defeat

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...
