Week 39
Buongirono everybody!
What a week! Keeping it short this week, we've been running around
seeing Rome and helping Sorella Adamson do everything a missionaria
has to do on her last full PDay!
Some highlights for the week:
-This week we had a baptism in the church of an investigator of the
Anziano. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful experience!
-A Scambio in Roma 5! I was with Sorella Erickson and we had a ton of
fun working together on the other side of Rome.
-Wednesday was the halfway point! I don't even want to think about how
fast the days are going.
-ANOTHER torrential downpour Sunday night... We should have learned to
expect them by now!
-A cute visitor named Lysha from Guatemala came to church on Sunday!
We met the couple she's staying with and had a great time getting to
know her. She's only here for two weeks, but she was definitely a
highlight of this transfer!
-Today for PDay we went to the Catacombe di San Callisto. So so so
cool and so beautiful. The part of Rome around the Catacombs is one of
the most beautiful. We ended up getting a little lost on our way, but the
bus we got on did a huge giro of all the most beautiful sites in
Rome...so it was funny to see how a little setback turned into
something even better.
During studies this morning I read in 2 Nephi 5:27 of the Book Of Mormon. Nephi
and his family just separated themselves from his wicked brothers and
continued living according to the commandments of God. I love what he
said, "And it came to pass that we lived after the manner of
happiness." I know that that is true. HIS way is THE way, and it's
100%, no doubt in my mind, the manner of happiness. It's evident in the
joy, peace, comfort and sweet assurance we get as we keep his
commandments and follow his ways. True happiness is what we receive as
we live the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I love this city and I love this work I'm doing! Thanks again for all
the love and support you send my way! Each one of you is so special to
me!
