Sometimes it's hard to see the light at the tunnel and to enjoy myself, but I came on a mission because I love my Savior.

Boungiorno tutti! 

This week has been very good! A lot better than last week, and I'm starting to get used to missionary life!!

During relief society this past Sunday, I was able to understand like 90% of the lesson! I was able to take something away from it which made me very relieved because I haven't felt like I've been speaking very much Italian since I've been here Haha! 

We met up with one of the teachers from the MTC and his wife on Friday! It was so so happy to see someone that I recognized and they gave me some good advice about the language and being in Italy! Everyone thought we were tourists while we were sitting there eating our pizza and they'd walk by and say "the pizza here is good right!" Then we'd all answer them back in Italian and they were so confused hahaha!

This week we searched high and low to find marshmallows to make Rice Krispy treats. We went to like every grocery store and Chinese market ever. Then finally we found some at a random store that sells games and notebooks Haha. Such a happy day. And they tasted soooooo good! I love rice Krispy treats haha

For P day we went to Milan! We met up with other missionaries and one of them was Sorella Cooper!! (My MTC comp) I about cried when I saw her. I was so dang happy! We became best friends in the MTC and I've missed her a lot. We went to the bone church, the whole inside has real human bones. Its craziness. Then for lunch we had these things called panzerotti. OH. MY. GOSH. Best food I've had in Italy. Hands down. They're like a calzone but in bread that's like a scone. So so good!!! A random man came and started to tie a bracelet around my wrist and I told him no and that I didn't have money but it was already tied on so he gave it to me for free Haha. The McDonald's in Milan is also the coolest thing I've ever seen. 

Since our city is on a lake, when it rains a lot it floods! It hasn't been raining that much. Only a few storms here and there, but sure enough the lake flooded the streets! All of the busses are so slow and behind schedule because a lot of the streets are closed Haha!

The field is definitely a big adjustment from the MTC and I'm still getting used to it. Missionary work is not an easy task. Sometimes it's hard to see the light at the tunnel and to enjoy myself, but I came on a mission because I love my Savior. I know how much Heavenly Father loves his children and wants them to know the truth. I have so much to be grateful for. Italy is beautiful. I'm grateful my bed here is so much comfier than the MTC beds, I'm grateful for the knowledge I have of my Savior and my Heavenly Father, and I'm so grateful to have such an amazing family. (sometimes I wish they weren't so cool so I didn't miss them that much haha) I know I am exactly where I need to be, doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing Thank you for all the support and prayers. I can feel your prayers everyday and I'm so grateful for them.

 

Vi voglio bene
