Hello family,

so life has been pretty great here as usual. i am totally loving being a sister missionary still. ... i can't believe i'm already half way done here!! i totally am loving meeting the new district that came in wednesday. there are 2 new sisters going to milan, so now there are 10 sisters in our zone! unheard of!!! anyway, it just proves to me that sisters and italy rock. ...mervin? arnold of the 70 spoke last tuesday, it was AMAZING! ... it's finally feeling like summer here, i'm so glad it's not cold anymore. i cant believe there's so much awesome stuff going on here... last night at the RC i had a great convo w/ a guy, [who accepted] a BofM.

overall i'm really loving getting to [improve] my teaching. ... tomorrow we're switching to speaking only italian w/ ppl in our zone (all the italian missionaries) and personally i'm going to speak spanish to ppl outside of our zone who know spanish because i dont want to lose it completely. ... sorella jones our girl teacher is so amazing and helpful ...

Dad: ...how was father's day?

mom: i'm sorry you had to deal w/ alpine village people. i really am grateful. cool that jenna wants to go on a mission!!

ari: wow! yeah parties!! i know you posted my box on fb, thanks! ... i can't believe you're 17 and 363 days old! happy bday. i wish i could be there to hug you

kd: i only have 6 min left, maybe i'll get to you next week? hope you're enjoying work! ACT? ooh sounds fun...not..

will: you're great. you made me laugh that's one of the best things you could've done in a letter you doing any swim team/other stuff this summer? yay making money!

rose; ooh, sounds like fun! i hope you're super happy!!

jon: you're like the bestest youngest brother ever! i am having tons of fun...sounds like you are too! ooh, i miss getting soaking wet. i contemplated running through the sprinklers at the temple today, it was pretty hot. ok a phrase that would fit perfectly here that i've been saying is scherzo, scherzo...ma serio. look it up i love you a ton and what?? you're doing java??? you go genius boy! i hope you've watched meet the robinsons in my absence at least 50 times

lydia: yay!!! you go girl!

family: i want pictures, i'll try to mail some home soon too. so we'll be even. i love you all a ton and was super happy to see st. Louis on the front of the church news sunday (it and ensign are free here. ahh! 1 minute! seriously this is improving my typing speed here. anyway, i miss you all and hope to hear from everyone soon. i know this church is true and am so glad to be a missionary right now!
