Facciamo Così

It's hard to believe that I've been in Italy for a week already. It all started last monday when we left the MTC at 4:30 in the morning. We flew from Utah to ATL and then straight to Milan. I enjoyed my layover in Atlanta and being able to say goodbye to GA before leaving American soil for 2 years. I had waves of the realness of everything setting in. I remember during the flight I was able to look over NYC and think of how weird it will be to live in another country.  We arrived in Milan (a group of 20 from the MTC) all very tired but excited to begin our journey. Walking out of customs we were greeted by Presidante and Sorella Wood who said that their only goal was to keep us awake that day (I think I'm the only one who succeeded at that goal). So we left from the airport straight to the Train station and took the Metro to the Duomo. We had our first Italian pizza and just looked around the city for a bit. Then we had to go back to the mission o...

READ THIS ONE

Image
I am sure many of my family and friends are like me. As in I did not read like any missionary emails at home. But if I could recommend reading one of mine. THIS is the one. I had a rather great email all typed out and ready to go. The stories were vivid, the descriptions immaculate, the knowledge of Shakespeare evident. But then I got transfer news yesterday and I knew the whole focus of my email was going to change. I will quickly recap the week:  Thursday drove to Verona. My bed was two chairs put together. I did not sleep well. Training was great (more on that later). Saturday we got to see Denis again, and had dinner with the Bazan's (amazing family love them and the food). Sunday was amazing too.

Prato

  Whatttttt an email? Yes, I'll try to write a bit about what's going on here in Prato! •Our friend Ashley chose a baptism date! I've never seen someone change so much! She went from not really believing in God to being so sure of His love for her. She also has such powerful experiences with the Book of Mormon. He holds it close to protect her and finds scriptures that help her with everything she has faced. •Our members are powerhouses at bringing the spirit and helping us! We've had lunches with members and friends or recent converts and the members bare such strong testimony. •Working with less actives has been a little focus here. We were able to visit a family with a member and it was great to hear them share their testimonies and be open about struggles. •We have some great missionaries in our district. I've had good exchanges. One took me to Siena. I felt like I was living in medieval time. They live in the city walls just around from a little piazza with a f...
