Sorella McCune Italy Rome Mission 2024-2025

Wednesday, July 9: Mini me  Ciao!!  My new companion arrived in Rome last Thursday and it's been the best time ever since. Her name is Sorella Yardley and she's from Cedar City Utah. Anddd we're basically the same person haha it's actually crazy how much we have in common. I love her to death!! (plus she goes on runs w/ me in the morning so she's already the best lol.) She has such a love and fire for missionary work already and just wants to learn anything and everything I have to teach her. She is gonna do big things in Italy and this mission! I'm so grateful to get to work with her for this last transfer.  Besides a gas station exploding in our area (luckily no one died) I didn't see any fireworks for the 4th of July but HAPPY 4TH EVERYONE MAN I LOVE AMERICA (rip celebrating my favorite holiday)  A sister I live with who's Australian kept saying "Happy 4th!" to everyone she came in contact with lol she got a kick out of that and ...

 Wednesday, July 2: incinta...di nuovo✌️   Nobody put that into google translate you might have a heartattack haha but we got our LAST TRANSFER CALLS yesterday (headed into my final one!!) and I'm training again!!! I'm soo excited to get to introduce another new missionary to the work and this time to my favorite place, the visitors center, as well! I just think it's the perfect way to end my mission and I'm so blessed and so grateful to do a 4th transfer in Roma 3 and in the vc with my girls. (How did I get this lucky?!)  This week was our new mission leaders, the Walker's, first week in the mission field! I cannot say enough good about this couple. They're so full of joy and energy. (See the jumping photo below hehe) I've only known them a week but they have already changed my life. Due to different exchanges I had to get done before the end of the transfer I was at the vc every single day this week (instead of every other day) and my feet hur...

Wednesday, June 25: The continuous Atonement HOWDY! how's life been treating y'all?  i'm running out of opening line ideas sorry hahaha.  Sooo... the Morris' left  They came to the vc on tuesday with our new mission president & his wife and we were all a mess oof. Goodbyes are not always my forte. Watching the mission leaders who have helped me work through the ups and downs of the past 16 months and been my parents away from home walk away to their flight home was rough but... The Walker's are INCREDIBLE. Plus they're from idaho so they get points right off the bat haha. But no, they're actually amazing and their daughter Alyssa who leaves in August for Brazil is soo cute and we're going to train her right up to be a vc sister with us for the next month haha! I'm excited to get to know them better.  I've been reading a book called "The Continuous Atonement" by Brad Wilcox lately. Definitely recommend to you all if you...
