Allora,
this week was crazy. It was soo
great, but sooo
crazy. We had another scambio
after our scambio on
Monday with the Sorelle in
Como. This time I got to stay in Busto and lead the ropes, which was super fun!
And we saw a super cool miracle! So there was this woman that we met our second
week in Busto (way back in November) and we taught her a lesson and she called
us her daughters and we gave her a pass-along card with our number and she said
she would call us! A few weeks later we realized that the stamp that had
our number on it that we use to stamp the cards was missing a number. So this
woman didn't have our correct number. We were so bummed and we prayed so much
that we would be able to find contact with her again. During this scambio
this past week, my temporary companion and I were rushing to the bus and we
walked quickly past this group of people, but I suddenly realized that I
recognized one of the people. It was the same woman from November!!! She gave
us big hugs and kissed us on the cheeks and was so happy to see us! She had to
run on the bus but I was able to give her a pass-along card with our correct
number on it! We hope for the best! God does answer prayers! Even if we have to
wait. It's interesting too, because back in November we had both gotten the
feeling that we should exchange numbers and get her number, but neither of us
did it and we ended up just giving her a card with the wrong number. So God
taught us a lesson there by making us wait... But it was good! Now I know!! It
was sooo
cool!
Anywho,
second part, transfers actually affected us this time. dun dun
dunnnnnn.
Yeah. We got the call from President Saturday morning and you know
it's big with the President calls. Sorella
Yost
gets to stay in Busto as an STL, but she's training again (for the third time
in a row!) I got kicked out and I'm going to Trieste, which is as far East as a
sister can go in our mission! I've heard it's absolutely beautiful there, so
I'm super excited! But I also heard it's very cold and there's a certain wind
that it's known for with a specific name that I can't remember right now. I'm
sure I'll learn it soon... I've had a lot of people tell me I would be blown
away with the wind these past few days... haha but
I'm really excited. I'm sad to leave Busto, this city is amazing and every
person I've met here is incredible. I'm also sad that Sorella
Yost and I don't get serve together for her last transfer, but it's all for the
best. Trieste, here I come!!
Well, this week has been full of
goodbyes and big hugs and big handshakes (from those who can't hug me). It's
really hard saying goodbye, which I kind of expected, but not after only being
in a place for only 3 months. It's amazing how much you really grow to love the
people here. I love everyone person we teach and all of the ward members.
Everyone is so great. And it's amazing to see the impact that you have wherever
you go even if you don't see it. It's also cool how that shows how you are
called to each city for a specific reason and you play a very important part
there, even if it's only in the life of one person. I'm sad to leave, but I'm
excited to go to Trieste and meet new people and learn more. Wish me the best
of luck and pray that I won't be "blown around with the leaves!"
(yes, someone said exactly that to me. It was very comforting).
I love you all so much! sorry, I
can't think of anything really funny. We had a lot of funny things happen, but
they're just kind of everyday things that I can't remember..... Sorry! Plus,
most of them are embarrassing... Like eating Nutella out of the jar with a
spoon with tears running down your face laughing at the fact that right after
you bore your testimony and said goodbye to the whole ward, someone came up to
you and commented on your language. Yeah. That happened haha.
At the end of Sacrament meeting, one woman came up to me and said that
hopefully I'll have more opportunity to improve with the language in Trieste.
It was so funny. She's right! Hopefully I do improve there! My new companion is
only one transfer ahead of me!
Anywho,
I love you all sooooo much! Thank you so much for
everything!! Vi voglio bene!!!
Love, Sorella
Hawks :)
