The Island of Sardegna is really rockin
today. It’s sunny, the sards are happy, the water is beautiful. We're
thinking to take a nice swim for pday..JUST KIDDING. but seriously you guys it’s
so pretty here. Last pday we went on the
MOST BEAUTIFUL HIKE. I forgot how much I
love hiking. There isn’t a better feeling than having your hair in a ponytail,
wearing comfy clothes and then sweating while hiking. MAN it was hot but so
awesome and beautiful. I’m sending some
pics!
So a funny story for this week. I ATE SO MUCH FOOD WEDNESDAY NIGHT. We went
to see a family in the ward, a cute old couple who served a mission a couple
years back. We didn’t know they were gonna feed us, but BOY did they feed
us. This is what we ate...
A HUGE bowl of ravioli. I mean huge. I was
stuffed after the ravioli. A HUGE piece of chicken. like we each ate 1/4
of a chicken. cheese with ham. and THEN a huge bowl of gelato. My
tummy was the fullest it ever has been in its whole life. It was the funniest thing ever. and the
sister from the ward just kept saying, "no, you have to eat more, you guys
walk a lot" and "no, you have to eat more gelato, it’s so good for
you" hahahahha. so funnnyyyyy. People are crazy about food here. I
love it but me and sorella vasilachi got home and just laid down in so much
pain. It was like Granny’s Buffet times 10. Tyler, I almost had your
"puke in the cup" experience. seriously. (if someone reading this
hasn’t heard Tyler’s "puke in the cup" experience, ask him about it.
although it’s probably pretty self-explanatory. haha)
Thursday for pranzo we ate lunch with a little
old lady that we met. We are teaching
her niece the lessons so we had pranzo with her. SHE’S SO CUTE. Her name is Rinna. I love old people
here, they are the best.
We got to see Counsesou this week. We
really think that she's going to come back to church for good. It’s really,
really exciting! And we got to talk to some of her friends. In fact, it was an interesting situation. It was her 4 year old daughter’s birthday and
she invited us to come to her birthday party. We thought it was a little
strange, but we felt like we should go so we did. We ended up chatting it up with all her
friends, and I exchanged numbers with one of them, who was really excited to
meet with us and learn more about the gospel. YOU GUYS! The next time you have
a birthday party for your kids, look around eh? Think to yourself,
"if sorella brunson was here, and she chatted it up with one of my
friends, would they maybe be interested in hearing about the gospel?" and
if the answer is "yes" then for heaven’s sake, TALK TO THAT FRIEND
ABOUT THE GOSPEL. Is this making sense? hahaha. If you're telling
the missionaries "no, I don’t know anyone who is interested" but then
I come to your daughter’s birthday party and set up appointments with two of
your friends.....it means you DO know people who are interested. avete capito?
so yeah, look outside the box a little.
Anyway, missionary work is good. I don’t think I’ve
ever told you guys about Ema or Fabrizio? They are some cool new people we are teaching!
Ema is 14 and has read part of the Book
of Mormon. She doesn’t exactly know what she believes, but she really wants to
believe in God. It’s so cool how much desire she has to believe! It’s a really crazy time for her in school
right now, but I could see her getting baptized for sure! She's super cute and
from Bangladesh. I’ve met people from seriously so many countries here in Italy.
It’s the coolest.
Alright, cool thing I read this week.
Story of David and Bath-sheba. EXCEPT have you guys ever noticed that David’s
first mistake wasn’t looking at Bath-sheba? His first mistake was not being in war, where
he was supposed to be! My good friend Anziano
Bednar talked about this at the conference. You guys should read it!
Alrighty I hope everyone’s doing fantastic, and
getting ready for SUMMER. Don’t forget to go to 7-11 for a slurpee!
Love you all, the church is true!
Sorella Brunson
Katie also wrote a note to that
mentioned she was so sorry to hear about the passing of Keith Howard and her
great-grandpa Hodson. She sends her love
to Sharel Howard and she is thankful Grandma Ottley will get to go to her father’s
funeral before she leaves for her mission. Katie wondered how Grandma Ottley was doing
through all of this, including waiting for the arrival of a grandbaby. She wants pictures of the baby,
Crystalin. She says congrats to Spencer
Watson on his marriage. She says
congrats to Amanda on getting a job at as a life guard at the Tri Cities Court
Club. She is excited we get to see all
the family in Utah and told me to tell the Cannon’s and extended family hi for
her. She wishes Tyler and Amanda well at
golf districts today. She is so glad
Tyler got his passport in time and was able to make it to Seattle for his visa doctor
appointment. She says happy birthday to
Summer, Jaelyn, Tami and Grandma Brunson!!!!
