GIRLS JUST WANNA HAVE FUN

Zoooweeeemaammmaa! What a week! I seriously dont even know where to start! 

Monday we had transfer calls! After a 12 hour bus ride  I'm now in Taranto in the heel of Italy. Im in a trio and whoever decided trios were okay did not think about the fact that when you put three crazy girls together theyre going to have way too much fun. Its a constant party at casa nostra. 

It was sad to say goodbye to the people of Pescara. I served there for 6 months and they became family to me. I will be returning to my cute little fishing town someday. Don't you even fret.

AN APOSTLE OF THE LORD CAME TO VISIT US!! What an unforgettable experience. The whole mission had the opportunity to meet at the Rome temple with Elder Stevenson of the quorum of the 12 apostles. At the end of his instruction to us, he bore a powerful testimony. I didnt take any notes for the last 5 min of what he said because i was just captivated by the spirit. It was interesting to watch him go off script from everything he prepared then stop, listen, and act upon the impressions he received from the holy spirit. Truly a day never to be forgotten. 

A NIGHT OUT WITH THE GRANDPARENTS

My dear friend Giuseppe called me saturday night and wanted to say goodbye to me before i left. I have taught him english as well as the gospel on and off for the last six months. He's like a grandpa to me. He picked me and my companion up with his sweet sweet wife Maria and It ended up being the most magical night ever. They truly are the purest people and made me feel a little piece of home, like i was walking around town getting dinner with my grandparents. They just wouldnt stop spoiling us all night. Those people have a special place in my heart. 

I think somethings wrong because im just SO HAPPY. I absolutely LOVE being a missionary and find so much joy talking to strangers all day long.
