If you belieeeeveeeee
:)
I believe.
This week was AMAZING.
So.
We'll start with our Thanksgiving celebration. The tiny chicken was delicious. We made mashed potatoes and gravy and stuffing and green beans. We were by ourselves, but that meant more for us! And it was super fun :)
On Friday we had a zone conference and it was good! I can't say it was the greatest one I've experienced on the mission but it was good! I learned a lot, from President Dibb as well as the Spirit. We talked a lot about the Church's new initiative with the "A Savior is Born" and Sorella Avila and I instantly put it into practice and started giving out bigliettini like candy. And it was awesome! We even set up an appointment with a woman and her son and husband.

Which brings us to the miracle part....
Which I'm just going to copy and paste from my email to President :)
We had an incredible miracle this week,
and it is an extension to the miracle from last week with the woman Julia and
the "A Savior is Born" biglietto. But first, I want to give some
background. Before my mission my mom turned to me one day and told me that she
had had the impression that there was a family waiting for me and they had dark
hair. Later she informed me that she felt impressed that it was through the
father, who needed to know the truth of the Restoration, that the family would
come into the church. I myself had the feeling that this family was a family of
three, a husband, wife, and a younger child.
As I had said last week we had set up an appointment with a woman named Julia and her son named Alessandro for Sunday afternoon. When we got there we began talking to the husband and he was more engaged during the lesson. Very quickly into the lesson, I felt strongly that this was the family that I was looking for. We are so excited for them!

It was like, a The District worthy
lesson. It was beautiful. (This is me talking again, not copying and
pasting)
Anywho, so that was one miracle from this week.
Oh also we finally got to do an FHE with two of our favorite Italian families
here in Cimiano and
it was so fun! Of course we got home late because well you never get home on
time when you have four Italians in one room for dinner and especially when
three of them are from the South.
But it was really fun and the food was
delicious :)
On Monday we did a scambio and
I was with my wonderful French friend Sorella. Visconti. She is so dang cute and fun
and I absolutely love her! And we saw SO many miracles together. One woman we
found at night before going home and she started crying a bit and her little
girl said "mamma, why are you crying? Don't cry! It's Christmas! " I
started talking to the little girl and she told me that her mom cries all the
time and is really sad. We were able to pray with her and she said she was
going to come to church! The next day we talked to a woman from Nigeria and
showed her the new Christmas video and she also said she was coming to church.
As we were walking away we heard her turn to her friend and say "I'm going
to call them!" It was so fun!
Guys, I just love the mission. I love the
feeling of bringing joy and hope to people's lives, even just through a simple
video, or a short prayer. I love seeing the difference between when we first
start talking to them to after we pray with them and they're so much happier.
This is the most wonderful time of year. I wish it could always be Christmas.
People are happier and there's just such a beautiful feeling every where you
go. Make the best of this time! Make December the month of love, joy and sharing,
and keep it going! Don't let the feelings of Christmas die once all the
presents are open! Keep it going until next Christmas! I just love Christmas
and having a companion who loves it too! CHRISTMAS!!!!!
Kay basta. I love you all :) have a wonderful week
:)
Vi voglio bene!
