CIAO A TUTTI, Monday,
March 30, 2015
What a great week I’ve had. The only problem is the TORNADO that I’m
living IN THE MIDDLE OF. Literally, I think a tornado has picked up the entire
island of Sardegna and we are floating inside it. bleeeh this wind.
I thought Kennewick was bad....mama mia. Let’s just say skirts plus tornados
equals.....well....yeah.....(note from Katie’s mom: I have been checking Katie’s weather and she
is right, her wind is worse than Kennewick wind. In Calgari the wind will range from 20 to 30
mph all week long! )
Comq. This
life is a great one, even with 100 mph winds. After the conference we
were just supaaaa pumped and we had a really successful week! We got to teach a lot of lessons. Here’s an update on some of these great people
who I love:
-Elisabeta. She read the part of the Book of Mormon we
left with her and she is really starting to understand the restoration and Book
of Mormon. This week she literally asked
us, "wait....but why doesn’t the Catholic church accept the Book of Mormon?
It makes sense" ahh. Great question. She said a prayer at the
end of our lesson that made me and Sorella Mazzarella tear up! She
thanked Heavenly Father for sending her "two girls to show her a new way
to live her life." The Spirit was really strong and I realized that even
though we are only 19 YEARS OLD the message we have changes lives. I love
her. We are excited to continue teaching
her.
-Valentina is ALSO reading, praying, and coming
to church. She is 22, super
stellar. She has lots of questions, but continues to read the Book of Mormon.
She came to church and liked it. She cracks me up too. In English
course she puts on her best "American accent" and its sooo funny. To her an "American accent" is
sounding super disinterested about everything. It is true that Italian is
waaay prettier than English. So fam if
you wanna work on learning it....we will be speaking Italian for the rest of
our lives.
-Gabriella. We had a good lesson with her, she agreed to
"test the Book of Mormon" and read and pray this week. SPERIAMO BENE.
Next step is to get some baptism dates on these
wonderful ladies. Stay in tuned next week. So, those are the people we are working with. Hopefully that isn’t boring to you but
HONESTLY it’s the BEST PART of this whole thing haha. I can’t believe how much
I love these people. Ohhh yeah and flash back to Ladispoli...Idas probably
getting baptized soon! WHAT!?? If you don’t
remember her read back.
K, some other stuff.
-Mom, this week we went to go visit this ex
simp of the sorelle. We walked into the house....and there was A TON of
random stuff: baby dolls, Christmas
decorations, old candy, pictures, paintings, just anything you can imagine,
stacked up all the way to the ceiling. I think you might have actually
had an anxiety attack in that place. hahaha. At one point she
looked at us with the super sincere face and she was like, "Sorelle, I
just don’t have anything." We were
like......
-We saw the Cincottis this week. They are the Bishop’s family. They have the
cutest kids. It reminded me of our house when the missionaries would
come. haha. I remember Kev and Emma would just go NUTTSO. That was a good
life we lived. Do the missionaries still come often?
-This week I finished the Book of Mormon again.
If you aren’t reading it EVERY DAY, do it. If you don’t know what it is, ask
someone to give you one. If you are a member of another church, read it
anyways. What hurt could it do?
The Book of Mormon is the BEST BOOK. As I’ve been able to read both the Book of
Mormon and the Bible on my mission, I’ve been strengthened in ways I didn’t
know were possible. You guys, just read. If you say you don’t have time...keep
one in the bathroom. You AT LEAST have time to read a verse in there, right?
You have time for the things you WANT to have time for. whooo sorry I’m going
all preacher here. Anyway, vi voglio un
sacco di bene. The church is true. Life is great.
Eat some American cereal for me! I miss that stuff.
Lots of love,
Sorella Brunson
