Ciao tutti. i totally am loving it here and hope life is going well back at the ranch. I love teaching the lessons, getting to meet new people, hearing cool people at devotionals and firesides (Mary N. Cook taught RS--so cool person!!) ...
italian is going great, i'm trying to speak spanish to our hermana roommates, and i'm loving teaching here. the food isn't that awesome, but the environment is. I totally am enjoying the intense gospel study. its weird to see how it really only matters if you get the spirit there. so i went to the rc last night (every monday night) and it so totally rocks!!! i loved talking to people, even though i got like a million wrong numbers and busy signals ( i was doing outbound confirmations) and then i did a few chats too. i talked to a few receptive people and i'm calling 2 back and chatting w/ another one. i just love being a sister missionary!! we rule!! ...
some favorite bits of scripture stuck together, from rev 2:7, 1 peter 1:7, acts 28:28, and heb 13: 24-5. here it is: "to him that overcometh will i give to eat of the tree of life which is in the midst of the paradise of god. that the trial of your faith being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory and the appearing of jesus christ. be it known therefore unto you that the salvation of god is sent unto the gentiles and that they will hear it. they of Italy salute you, grace be with you all. amen "
