Well, I dont know how we got here. I feel like three weeks ago I was sitting in the mtc without a clue as to what I was doing. I still don't really know what im doing.
This is my last email as Sorella Coon. That's really sad to say. It truly breaks my heart at the thought of leaving this people. I'm excited for what the future holds, but leaving behind some of my dearest friends will be hard.
My mission has flown by. I'm beyond grateful for these 18 months that I've had to serve the people of Italy. My life is changed. My testimony has been strengthened. My love for God's children has grown immensely. The Atonement has become more and more real and empowering in my life every single day.
I want to share with you all some of the biggest blessings and things that I've learned serving as a missionary for the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints in Italy. And if you want to hear more about my experiences you can come to my homecoming talk!
Here we go:
♡ The italian language IS the most beautiful language in the world
♡every italian stereotype is true. They eat pasta every day and there are red vespas everywhere and everyone is named Mario and Luigi
♡ I'm so grateful for carpet
♡ Gelato is addicting
♡ You will never leave an italians home without eating something or them giving you something
♡ the spirit speaks to italians through dreams
♡ God hears and answer my prayers in his perfect timing
♡ our relationship with God is the most important thing in the world

♡ americans need to be more touchy (i love italian old ladies kisses)
♡ this is the LORDS church. It is the same everywhere you go. Different faces, same spirit
♡ we come to know God through covenants
♡ this is a gospel of CHANGE. There's no growth in the comfort zone.
♡ driving laws are just suggestions
♡ the sacrament is WHY we come to church. It is THE the most important part of our week. Each and every one of us need it.
♡ FAITH FAITH FAITH. It all starts with FAITH
♡ italians take a break from life from 1-3 every single day
♡ the humility to pray
♡ the importance of being worthy of the constant companionship of the spirit
♡ no one can start a party before 19 (7pm). And if you do, no one will show up until 19.
♡ breakfast is coffee and a croissant, and if you eat anything else YOURE PSYCHO
♡ DO NOT BREAK THE SPAGHETTI
♡ i absolutely love train rides
♡ God made balconies
♡ Jesus christ is JOY. His atonement is real and empowering. And we cannot have a superficial knowledge of it.
♡ increase love for my parents and the things they taught me
♡ The blessings of hard work
♡ there's something to love about everybody.
♡ my companions have changed my life.
♡ air conditioning and wet hair can kill you
♡ buses are never on time
♡ the lord helps us learn to be humble. We are all prideful people.
♡ through and because of our Savior Jesus Christ, we can return to our Heavenly Father and live with our families for time and all eternity
