I literally cannot believe how fast this
transfer went. For this next transfer Sorella Bennett and I will be
staying the same! Onward and Upward!
This week, two milestones in my mission. I gave a
talk in italiano, without using notes and I was not even nervous. A year
ago and I probably would have hid in the nearby forest for the duration
of the meeting. Second, I sang in italian in sacrament and I was really
nervous for that but it went great! I through together a group of 3
sisters and we sang Come Thou Fount. To me it sounded great so........it
was probably awful but we tried hard and it seemed to be well liked.
Milestones!
However, my country is crying today, weeping over
the bitter excommunication of our beloved calcio team from the world
cup. For a country that eats, breathes and sleeps soccer - it was a
devestating loss. Naturally, Sorella Bennett and I stopped for some
gelato that just so HAPPENED to be very close to a giant screen that
just so HAPPENED to be playing the game. I apologize to all the italians
for the faithlessness of my companion, our beloved squadra lost because
she left her faith in America. My faith in the chosen team was not
enough to sustain and today, Italy weeps. Have faith people, and Dad
don't yell too loud at the screen. They can't hear you.
