Buon giorno tutti,

So, this week has been wonderful. I only have a few minutes to write thanks to a virus filled computer

that has taken up a lot of our time. Anyway, this weekend we traveled to Catania to hear a couple from Scotland (Elder and Sister Kerr) who are area representatives in charge for the part of our church here in Italy. They were extremely fun and animated people who really knew how to engage the audience and convey their messages with conviction. On the bus ride there, I really felt like I belong in this congregation here in Ragusa, as we all were talking together. I am really loving serving here.

We are all getting ready for Thanksgiving (that is, us American missionaries have an excuse to eat and have a moment of cultural interchange while stuffing our faces with pumpkin pie

Sharon had her baby last Wednesday, her name is Victory. She is very humble and truly interested in knowing God. She is an amazing example to me of perserverance and faith.

Well, that's about it for the latest news from Ragusa. We are all starting to layer up as we go outside (yes there is winter in Sicily).

Best wishes to all of you, and happy turkey preparation!

Sorella Black
