Ciao, tutti!
Hey, everyone!
So answers to questions. Doing Area book is when we update the schedas (the
records of what we've taught our people) and go through lists of ex simps and
call them or just all around organize the ward list/try and track down less
active people we don't know. Just a lot of paperwork that needs to be done, but
often missionaries forget or don't do it, so you often have to go back and
update old info that hasn't been kept up. Spesa is just our grocery shopping for
the week, that's the Italian word and that's just what we always call it :). What
impressed me from the Bednar conference is how he kept on talking about how we
are agents. We make every single choice and we can't be forced into anything
because we are not just objects to be acted upon.
Thursday, we saw Sorella B and it was a good lesson with her,
she's such a sweetheart! We also had district meeting because we were unable to
do it last Monday, so that was fun! We have a really awesome district, so I love
DM.
Friday, we saw Sorella N....o, a member. She's super awesome. Really
funny! She was telling us a ton of stories. She has a beautiful testimony and
will get to go the temple soon, so she's really excited for that! That afternoon
we saw the N....a family. They have four super cute kids! It was so much fun!
Their daughter was just baptized a while ago, so we are giving her the after
baptism lessons. The youngest girl was doing a fashion show of her princess
dresses and her little brother wanted to show off his superman costume, so they
were just basically adorable!
Saturday we saw Stella and she told us she would come to church, so we were
psyched, but she unfortunately hurt herself pretty badly that night, so she was
unable to come. But she's doing better so we hope for next week!
Sunday we saw A and had a good lesson with her. Church was really good
also. I love the members in the ward here! They are seriously all
amazing!
Monday, we had Zone Training and we talked about a ton of stuff, such as
Sabbath observance. The stakes here are going to do a huge push in the next
month or so for Sabbath observance, because it's a bit of a problem here. I'm
excited for that, because it's really important! We also got some rules for the
iPads! And the actual iPads! We're pretty excited! We can't do much yet, we
still have to do some trainings for them, but we're finally starting the
process, so we're super happy.

Yesterday, we saw S again and had a good lesson with her about the
priestdhood. We shared an awesome talk from the April 2014 conference called the Keys and Authority of the Priesthood. Then we saw Sorella B and
talked with her about genealogy (aren't you proud mom?!?) Then we had to run
home because our senior couple was coming to fix/replace our broken beds (it
used to be an anziano apartment...men :)) Then we had English Course. I had to
teach cause the teacher was gone. It was intense. They were asking in depth
questions about the diffferent form of the future tense. I had no clue.... I
just speak it.
Today, we went to Siena and it was AMAZING! The duomo there was honestly
the prettiest I've seen so far (at least the inside). It's a long trip though, so
we got back kinda late and I don't have a ton of email time. So I'll send pics
next week (also of Pisa!) I promise!
Anyways, sorry, this was kinda hurried. I love you guys so much and I'm so
happy that I get to be here and share the gospel! Vi voglio tantissimo
bene!
Love, Sorella snow
