Cagliari

Week 65

Hellooo from the beautiful island of Sardegnaaaaa! I'm in Cagliari!!

It has been a crazy week, and I still can't believe all that has happened.

Monday night was transfer calls! Cagliari with Sorella Fielding!!

Sorella Erickson and I both left Palermo, while our comps stayed. We

ran all over the place for the next few days trying to say good bye to

people. Six months gave me plenty of time to make some really sweet

friendships, and it was hard to say so many goodbyes at once! I love

Palermo and the people there!

Then Wednesday night I got to packing after a dinner appointment. I DO

NOT suggest trying to meet weight requirements for a flight in the

last few months of your mission. It was quite the feat but I'm pretty

sure the guy at the baggage weigh in thing turned an eye...I might

have been a kilo or two over... 😏

Then bright and early Thursday morning, the Garretts took me to the

airport. And THAT was a hard goodbye! Mamma mia.

Flying was weird...especially by myself without a phone. I hope I

never have to do that again haha.

Thursday afternoon I landed in the beautiful city of Cagliari and met

up with Sorella Fielding! I'm so excited to serve with her! She's in

her fourth transfer and as sweet as sweet can be. We share the city

with two sets of elders and another set of sisters, none other than

the lovely sorella Frogley and Leathern (MY MTC COMP!!) Its just too

fun.

Cagliari is beautiful! It's very clean and very...almost American?

Haha basically the complete opposite of Palermo. The members here seem

great and can't wait to get to know them.

I'm excited for the work and the experiences we'll have here. It's

weird to be starting over again after being in Palermo for so long,

but I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve in this wonderful city!

I think it was last week I mentioned using the BOM to answer

questions. Sorella Fielding and I decided to search for some answers

that people could give us to a question we sometimes ask: "What brings

you happiness in this life?" We decided that if they answered "Family"

we would share Alma 5:38 and talk about the family of god, and how he

wants us all back home.

On Sunday, we went out for some Finding and met a sweet woman named

Alessandra. Her family is going through a bit of a hard time right now

and she's looking for peace and answers as she tries to help them as

best she can. It was amazing to see how what we prepared fit to her

needs exactly, even though we hadn't even met her! We should be seeing

her tomorrow again and I'm hopeful she will be receptive to learning

more. :)

I know the scriptures have the answers to life's questions and they

allow us to hear the lords voice and feel his love. I know that the

truth we find in the book Of Mormon and the Bible bring our families

more peace, joy, and happiness than we can possibly imagine.

I'm excited to begin this next chapter in Cagliari! I love and miss

you all and hope it's a great week!

XOXO,
