So
excited to welcome little Leah into the world! She is beautiful beyond
words and is going to be so spoiled. I LOVE HER. Anyways, transfer news. I
am staying in Lodi with Sorella Smart for another transfer. As last
transfer ended with a dud, and almost 0 investigators, we are hoping to
start of stronger and stay stronger.
In this weeks edition of "Thank you various siblings
for preparing my investigators" we travel to......drum rolllll.....
BRAZIL! Sit back down in your seat, Elizabeth. We met Leah on the street
on Dec. 6 and were finalllllly able to meet with her this Monday!
She is passing through some trials right now but totally accepted the
BoM and wants good change in her life. So we have a return appointment
with her and we are planning on bringing her heaven. Did i mention she's
a professional cook? Oh, and she's beautiful! It's kinda intimidating.
We are the ugly missionaries. hahaha
Fun culture fact of the week. As so previously
stated, Italian is the closet to Latin in it's purest translation. So
we've always said, "Amen" at the end of prayers right, but what does it
mean. Well amen translates into italian as "Cosasia" or "Cosasarà" which
translates for you English speakers as "It will be". Minds blown yet?!
So when we end a prayer, after concluding in the name of Jesus Christ,
we say, It will be! Beautiful!
Italian rocks.
Also this week, we had a lovely surprise on Sunday.
In the form of the mission president...Yes, he just came to church with
no warning. Well instantly, I was the mother bear on high alert. During
gospel principles, the class of recent converts and investigators taught
us the gospel. My Maria destroyed her topic of baptism! I was so proud!
She shared her testimony, and the bible dictionary couldn't have done a
better job. Watch out world cause The Maria just dropped the baptismal
bomb and the Holy Ghost is shredding everything!
Well, rootin tootin fam, thank you for all your love
and support. I couldn't do this without you. Keep a special prayer in
your hearts for Italy this week.
fino alla prossima settimana, auguri!

Psh. Italian's got nothing on Spanish's goodbye ADIOS "to
God". Latins also say "god willing" for literally everything. We need
more ways to mention God in our hellos/goodbyes little speeches in
English. That way we can check off the list for the day for being
spiritual like they do.
