Hey everyone, the gift of tongues is soooo real.

Ciao!!!

I can’t believe it’s been two weeks here!!!! The weeks go by so, so

fast but the days are so, so, so, so long.

FOOD

I’m starting to get sick of the mtc food😭 at first I thought it was

so good but now it’s horrible and I want to eat real people food. I

cannot wait to get to Italy and eat the delicious food!!!!!!!!

LANGUAGE

Hey everyone, the gift of tongues is soooo real. It’s incredible how

fast you’re able to learn! I feel like I know almost as much Italian

as I do Spanish and I took Spanish for 4 years and I’ve been speaking

Italian for 2 weeks hahaha! We’re all able to bear our testimonies,

pray, and teach actual good lessons in Italian. It’s craziness. This

week we taught our first lessons to people that aren’t our teachers,

and they went so well! We were able to say everything we wanted and

understand everything they said!!!!

TROUBLE

So on Sunday I got in trouble with the mtc presidency and it was

horrible. I was sitting at a table with 5 elders and my companion was

close behind me, and the presidency walks up and tells me and my

companion to be in the same conversation. Then me and Sorella Cooper

walk inside to use the restroom and some random guy goes we’ve been

using you guys as what not to do in our meetings. And was way rude

about it. But then we saw the presidency again and I was like I’m

sorry about that and he said it’s okay it’s called a training center

for a reason. So basically the mtc presidency was way nice and the

random guy was evil.

DEVOTIONAL

On Tuesday our devotional was from Elder Nielson of the 70, he’s in

charge of the missionary department and he told us how he presented

the idea to President Nelson to let missionaries call home and it was

a cool story. I’m very grateful that he did that!!

RANDOM

Everyone should go watch all the cool videos on ComeUntoChrist.org,

they are so so cool! You should also listen to The Power of The Book

of Mormon, by Thomas S Monson. It is such a powerful talk! Read your

scriptures everyday and make sure you have a testimony of them!!!!!!

Thank you so much for all the support and love! It’s so cool to be

able to feel people praying for me. Thank you for your emails!! I love

you all so so much!

Ti voglio bene

 So this is the coolest story....(written by mom) Shelby's dad worked in Idaho for the day.  He was visting with his client and that started to talk about Shelby going on a mission to Milan Italy.  His client told Jeff that his friend is going to be the new mission president there in July and would he like to meet him? Of course, Jeff said yes!! So they ended up meeting at Costa Vida for lunch.  They were able to talk for over an hour!  Jeff loved them both and said they are such amazing people and that Shelby will love them!  This was such a tender mercy to me that Heavenly Father is so aware of us and what we need in our lives!
