ELDER BRUNSON
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I can’t even focus on writing this letter because
TYLER IS GOING ON A MISSION TO NEW ZEALAND! This is
so exciting, for reals! I’m so stoked for him. It’s the best mission ever
(besides Rome Italy) but seriously he’s going to loooooveeee it.
ahhhhhhhhhhh. I totally teared up when I
read it, the baby that I am. So stoked. What a blessing to be in the
field with my baby bro. Tyrone, you’re gonna do great things!
So anyway, this week was really, really good.
I ate worm cheese. haha. It
is what it sounds like. It was pretty
gross haha. Don’t worry, it’s not
dangerous. All Sards eat it. It’s just super strong tasting. There is
a funny video but it’s too long to send, sorry.
Tuesday we had an English course party and it
was super fun. We played ping pong, ate food, and then we watched a
little piece of "The Other Side of Heaven" and talked about missions
and how awesome they are. I think the students really liked it, the
Spirit was super strong. I really like the English course students here. They are stellar. They make me
giggle.
On Wednesday Sorella Wineager and Sorella
Sartena came through because they got transferred! Sorella Wineager is
headed to Palermo, Sorella Sartena is going to Tarento. Sorella
Wineager stayed with us for a night! It
was SO FUN, I love that woman. We went to find some less actives way out
in Vietnam. It was great. We saw
one that Bishop wanted us to see so that was goood! And we literally got on the bus right as a
rainstorm hit haha.
It was SO WARM last Tuesday and Wednesday.
I couldn’t even believe it. It was like June weather. The sun was
shining and life we sooo gooooood. I’m
such a summer person haha. It got cold again but for those two days it
was awesome. Plus we have a perfect sun tanning place on our porch so that’s
really great. Language study + suntanning
= a happy/browner Sorella Brunson. See I
still can do math!
The cool thing of this week was Stake
Conference. It was fantastic! Anziano Kieran came from England.
He is in charge of the church in Europe and every missionary loves him so much.
He gave the coolest talks. I wish
you all could have heard them! He’s super sincere. He came up to us
missionaries and just thanked us super sincerely for the work that we do.
It was really, really nice. All the Sorelle came down to our house for
stake conference, so that was nice. This week we are going up to Sassari
for a scambi! It will be exciting to
visit another city YAY and I’ll send some pics of the new Sorelle.
So we had Stake Conference on Saturday night
and it was sooo good. Then Sunday we had the other session and THREE
PEOPLE CAME WITH US, WHOO HOO!!
Gabriella came! She turned to me after and said, "wow, I
really, really liked that. It really touched my heart a lot. I just felt it
right here." I was like, "It’s
the Spirit WHOO HOOO!!!!"
Valentina came. She’s 22 and has been
reading the Book of Mormon on her own! We were at English course and she
pointed to a picture of Joseph Smith in the church and said, "That’s Joseph
Smith, right?" and I was like, "whoooh how do you know?" and she
told me she had been reading the Book of Mormon on her phone and watching Book
of Mormon videos! So we have an appointment with her on Tuesday and she
came this Sunday. She’s way cool. She asked what we believe about
the family and as we told her the Spirit was super strong. I love telling
people that families can be together forever. I really think she might be
d'oro. (golden). I’m so excited to teach her!!!
Also Rachele came, she’s atheist, but is the
one that I helped with math. I can’t believe how much she’s changed since
she started learning more about the church. She called us Saturday to
tell us how an English test went, and we were like, you should come to
church! and she did! As I was
listening to Anziano Kieran he started talking about the light that
missionaries have, and how sometimes when you are around them you don’t know
why, but you just feel happy. He said that was the Spirit, and that
Heavenly Father loves us. He literally said it just for Rachele!!!!
That’s exactly how she feels about missionaries. I hope we can help her
to know that Heavenly Father loves her. I wish everyone in the planet
knew that!!!!
The good news is with Ty in New Zealand, more
people will know it than did before!!!!!!!!! Missions are so cool. Life
is great, the church is true, and I LOVE GELATO.
Love,
Sorella Brunson
Happy birthday Cindy Ottley on the 10th, LOVE
YOU!
