Satan's temptations 😈🍦

Two emails in a row!! I'm getting good at this. 

Transfer calls happened. I'm staying another transfer here in Pescara with Sorella Jorgensen. We have a lot of fun plans lined up for this transfer and a lot of work to do, so im excited. 

LUNAS BAPTISM!!!!! 

YOU GUYS! It was seriously so beautiful. Other than the fact that she showed up and forgot an undershirt for the baptismal clothes so my comp and I had to sprint home in our dresses and full faces of makeup in the heat to go get her and undershirt. We made it back with 1 minute to spare before the baptism started, drenched in sweat. Some members were worried about us. 

Her boyfriends mom spoke about baptism and as soon as she started to speak the spirit just washed over the room. I think everyone had tears in their eyes. The baptism went perfectly and we had a giant Latina dance party after wards. I had to remember I had a missionary tag on. If you know me, I don't hold back when it comes to dance parties. Anyways, it was a great day and I'm so so happy for Luna. Pictures down below 

Jenyfer!!! We got a referral a couple weeks ago from some elders in the milan mission for a Jenyfer from Peru that is living here in Pescara. So, this week we hopped on a bus and headed to meet her. Turns our shes a super cute 23 year old who barely speaks any Italian. Let's just say my 3 years of high-school Spanish paid off. 

She's so funny and wants to come to church so hopefully she makes it next week! Yay Jenyfer. 

We've started to teach english to the cutest little kids at this summer camp. I've heard some strange conspiracy theories about America. GUYS we have to prove to them that all Americans are not fat and that we don't just eat fast food with chemicals in it. Other than that it's been really cool to watch these little 9 year olds come up, read my tag, and ask me questions about the church. I love it. It makes me so happy. 

It's officaly gelato season. And let me tell you that's where Satan gets me. How many gelatos is too many gelatos?  send help. ITS JUST SO GOOD AND ONLY 2 EURO. 

Homeless and Hungry 🍽🥸

Holy guacamole guys.  Its been a whole month since i sent one of these bad boys. I apologize, but repentance is a part of life and here I am repenting and making a change. 

I am still alive and well. I'm low key dying from the heat these days but nothing this arizona girl can't handle. 

Let's get right into it. 

miracle of the week. We got fed by the homeless shelter. Us and the anziani were both out of money for the week and it was only monday.  We didn't even have money to buy train tickets to get to the soup kitchen we were going to do service at. 

Ladies and gentlemen serve your fellow beings because blessings will come from it. We were getting ready to leave the soup kitchen and the guys like "yall wanna eat?" You bet your bottom dollar us starving missionaries grabbed a bowl of food faster than you could say ilovejesus. Homeless shelter food is a 10/10 would recommend. 

Luna's baptism is this saturday!!! Luna has been an investigator for a couple years now but she's finally decided to take that step and get baptized. She is so full of energy, loves to dance and is just wild. She's my bestie and I want to be like when when I grow up. She asked me to sing for her at her baptism. I've never felt so honored. 

NEXT STEP ROME TEMPLE TO DO BAPTISMS FOR THE DEAD BABY!!! #COVENANTPATHHEREWECOME Pray for Luna that she can just feel peace on her baptism day and that everything will go well!!

We also had the baptism of Nora. This cute, full of light, 9 year old girl. Her baptism was awesome. Her family invited every person they know. It was like a whole african army showed up to the baptism. I think we had 5 members and the rest of the people were all their friends. Her dad who is a less active member gave a talk about baptism. It was so cool to see him bear a powerful testimony about priesthood authority and the importance of baptism. It was a beautiful day. 

We had a really fun PDay a couple weeks ago. About a year into my mission in the Rome Italy mission and i ACTUALLY saw Rome for the first time. Pretty cool. We took a whole tour around Rome and I saw just about every historical sight you could see. (Except the Vatican I'll get there one day...maybe) We got to see the jail of Peter and Paul. Very humbling experience but very cool to be able to step foot in their. 

God has just been pouring out miracles here in Pescara. We've been so busy and we dont even feel like were doing anything but the lord is literally just setting people into our hands. It truly is his work and aint nobody gonna stop him. 

BEING A MISSIONARY IS SO AWESOME!!!!

My invite to you all at home is go to the temple for me this week. I haven't been able to go to the temple for about 10 months and IT STINKS so please go for me. And send me a picture if you do!!!! I LOVE TO SEE THE TEMPLE IM GOING THERE SOMEDAYYYY. 

Vi voglio tantissimo bene
