Ciao! I've made it to Italy!! It is so beautiful here! I love it!
ok so on Monday morning, we woke up at 5 am to get ready to go to the airport! We got to the airport at like seven and our flight didn't leave until 11 hahaha so we had to wait and hang out forever. We flew to Dallas, and had like a five second layover before our next flight. We met this awesome guy who served his mission in Idaho and he offered to buy us food but sadly we had like 3 minutes so we couldn't. We also met this guy named Matt who was flying to London to visit his mission. He was so cool and we did a seat to seat chat with him on the plane Haha. The flight to London felt like the longest flight of my entire life, even though I've been on longer ones lol. There was horrible turbulence and the lady next to me said that she was praying the whole time telling God that he couldn't let the plane crash because it was full of his messengers. She had never heard of our church so that was so cool of her to tell me. She thanked me for going on a mission, and she said because we were on the plane she knew she would be okay. People are so cool!! Then we got on our plane to ITALY!!!
ITALY!!!
As soon as we step off the plane in Italy, everything was in Italian Haha and it was quite scary. We met Presidente Allen and Sorella Allen. They are seriously the coolest people I have ever met! I'm so sad I don't get them for very long. They gave us a snack on the way to the metro and it was this bread called focaccia and it was the best thing I've ever had in my life. We went on the metro and did finding, and I was able to talk to this man in Italian and I gave him un libro di mormon!!! And he told me he would read it! It was marked up with sticky notes and questions, then had verses highlighted that answered the questions so I think it will be easy to glance at easily and find something that will speak to him! We went and saw the Duomo in Milan and it was one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. I almost started crying because I was so overwhelmed with joy and I'm so grateful to be here!
I am serving in a city called Como, and a little part of my area is in Switzerland! So we go visit members in Switzerland often! Were not allowed to proselyte there, but we go there quite a bit! This area hasn't had sorelle serving here for a while so we have no investigators and are starting from scratch Haha! While we were taking the train and metro to get here, we both had 3 suitcases and since my collega was transferring as well, we had 6 suit cases and it was a nightmare. I was dropping my suitcases left and right, down escalators, and barely getting them on the metro Haha.My collega is sorella Sharp, she's going to train me for two transfers then go home! She is so so cool!
Como is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to. I am so grateful to be a missionary in Italy.
Also, my feet and ankles are so swollen from flying and being in humidity, they look like I'm nine months pregnant so that's cool.

ALICE
Today we have been hanging out with a girl in our ward named Alice, and she is way cool. It's kind of hard to hang out with two people who speak Italian and I'm just trying to understand what's going on hahaha, but I was able to have somewhat of a conversation with her!
I love being a missionary, and I love this gospel. I miss and love you all! La chiesa e vero. Vi voglio bene!!
Sorella Zesiger
