Hey, everyone!
Hope you've all had a good week! Sounds like you're kinda
getting back
into the swing of things after summer break!
Wow, it's
felt like a really long week! Last Tuesday night, we headed
up to Bologna to
stay the night there for our conference. It was
really fun. We stayed with
the Sorelle there, one of whom is Sorella
Yonk, from my group, so that was
really fun. The Mestre sorelle (their
area is Venice!) stayed the night there
also, so it was really fun
with 6 of us getting a chance to talk for a
little.
We headed to Modena for the conference the next morning and I saw
a
ton of people from my group, so that was really exciting! All of
the
missionaries east and south of Modena came there for the
conference.
The conference was really good! The speaker was Elder Kearon, and
he's
from England, so in answer to the question, it was in English :)
he
was really amazing. He was funny, supportive of us and he had
an
amazing spirit with him.
Thursday, we saw Sorella Nav and we
talked about the atonement. We
read in alma 7 verses 11-13, they are really
strong. Then we saw
Azzura. Her boyfriend couldn't be there, he had a camp
out with the
young men. Then
we
did pass bys of ex simps to see if any of them are interested
is
investigating again.
Friday, we helped Sorella di San Sebastiano
set up for a baby shower
that the relief society was throwing the next day
for two women in the
ward. It was kinda funny because she and another lady
kept coming up
to us and asking us our opinions on what the baby shower
should be
like because, in their word, we're Americans and would know
better
than them. We saw Viviana and her mom that afternoon and it was
really
good, Viviana said she wants to recommit herself to coming to
church.
We also saw Sorella Nach that night.
Saturday, we did a
whole lot of organizing and calls. We also had to
go start sorting through
the anziani's apartment. They left it kinda a
mess because they didn't have
any time to clean before leaving. We
also went to the baby shower. Some of
the sisters asked us to come and
help translate because one of the mothers
that's expecting is an
American from the military base near only speaks
English. It was
really fun and really cute seeing all of these Italian ladies
trying
so hard to throw a nice proper American baby shower!
Sunday, we
had church! It was really good. A new convert named Jim
came. He's Filipino
and doesn't speak Italian, so I finally got a
chance to try out my
translating skills. It was kinda difficult
because I don't really need to
translate in my head anymore, I just
think in Italian, so having to put it
into English for him was
interesting, it was really good practice though! We
got a bidone that
night, so that was a bummer. Oh! Also, this morning while
Sorella
Harris was showering, our shower head kinda start
falling
apart exploding on her. So that needed to be replaced as well. We
told
our senior couple about it and they kinda teased us since
our
apartment has been having so many problems and asked us if
we're
playing jump rope with the shower head cord and swinging from
the
chandeliers. ;)
Monday, we had district meeting in Pisa! We now
have to go there since
we don't have elders here anymore. There were the Pisa sorelle and
anziani and the la Spezia anziani, so we have a district of
eight. It
took us kinda all morning and until about 3 to get there, do
the
meeting and get back and then we had a scambio with our STLs.
They
asked us if we could all stay in Livorno this time and all work
there,
so we tried to get as many appointments as we could but we still
ended
up having plenty of time for finding. I was with Sorella Welch
this
time. I did a scambio with her back in my second transfer in
Bergamo
so that was really cool to work with her again. She and I saw
Sorella
Car and also her mom. Her mom's not a member, so it'd be
really
cool few could maybe meet her again some time. Then we saw the
bishop's
son again. We're really happy to have the chance to
teach
him, he's a really good kid!
Tuesday, morning we saw Viviana
again and we committed her to read and
try coming to church, so hopefully
she'll come this next Sunday! We
did more finding and then we switched back
and the STLs headed back to
Prato. We got another bidone and then had English
class and family
home evening, which we're trying to restart now that it's
September.
Today, we finished cleaning the anziani's apartment and then
cleaned
ours for an inspection from our senior couple. They're super
cool!
They also fixed our door knob that kept falling off, so that's
super
exciting!
Well, I think that's about it for this week! It's been
crazy as usual
but things are starting to look up, we're staring to get in
contact
with a lot of the anziani's simps and we're hoping it'll be a
really
good transfer!
I love you guys! Thanks so much for the support and
love every week!
Have a fantastic week!
Love,
Sorella Snow
