Ok. GUESS WHAT??????? My big news is that I am getting transferred!!!!!! I am moving from Milan to Florence!!!!!!!!!!!! SO I am in the Sienna/ Tuscany area- basically the most beautiful place you could ever been in, I leave Tomorrow morning for a 5 hour train ride. JOY. hahahaha My new companions name is Sorella Jones and she came out 4 months after me and I cant wait to meet her!!!!!!!! We shall see how that all goes down. I know I am moving into the top floor of an apartment and I will be living in 4 again with 2 other Sister training leaders. WHOOOOOOOOOOPPPPPPPPPPPPPP I seriously lucked out so much its not even funny.
Soooooo I know in Florence they don’t have a ward so
it’s just "a kind of branch" I guess hahaha and President Dibb met up
with me Yesterday actually cause he wanted to talk to me about that Area, and
he just asked me to make it a ward, soooooooo not quite sure how that will
happen but I said I would do it so I guess its gunna happen!!!! I don’t know how
many baptisms and how much re-activation that will entail........ All he said
is he needed me in Florence to build a ward even though its a ridiculously far
transfer. We also had 2 people getting baptized in 2 weeks so he felt really
bad for moving me, He is So nice- butttttttttt is is transferring me anyway
hahaha
pray for me Hahahaha
I love Milan so much so we are just gunna need to take that
cruise trip up here after my mission. That’s still happening right? Ok cool.
In other news- I am almost feeling better!!! Hahahaha I
didn’t leave the apartment for 6 days bahahah aso it got pretty bad but I can
finally talk again so I am doing pretty good if you ask me! hahaha
FUNNY STORY! Ok its really not that funny. It’s kind of just
annoying. Somehow like a million mosquitoes got into our apartment and so at
night they LOVE to fly around our ears. Its quite joyful. And so I just covered
my ears and I woke up with two huge bites on the tip of my nose and one in
between my eyebrows hahahaha So I looked like I had 3 giant zits on my face
which were itchy so in my sleep I would scratch them so BY MORNING I literally
looked like Rudolf. Not an exaggeration. Hahahaha I was wayyyy cute.
FUNNY STORY 2! Ok so I mentioned a couple weeks ago that
some food choice here are.... interesting. Lol Ok well we went over to an
investigators house who is from the Philippines and they were trying to feed
us. SO they pull out these big egg looking things and gives us this look like
ohhhh snap hahaha and she says "Dis es NOT good fur yoo!" Hahahaha So
she goes on to explain there is a chicken inside Hahaha (She doesn’t speak
Italian so she speaks English... kind of) and she starts explaining, "When
you be sad inside of your heart, you eat dis! you eat two of dees and a Coke
and den you feel bettttter" hahaha ok so this EGG thing was actually a
Duck fetus, so when you open it, its just this soupy juice with a beak in it,
and you drink it...... ya know, so you feel better... -____- I don’t think that
would make anyone feel better ever.
Soo ya I skipped that little opportunity and stuck with her
deep fried bananas which are my favorite food in the world. WOW. Lol
FUNNY STORY 3!!!! Alright we were on the metro and there
were these people who TOTALLY looked American. So we talk to everyone anyway so
I asked, where are you from? And they were from Brazil so they didn’t speak
Italian, aka we switched to English (YAY!) and they were here for a huge soccer
tournament!!! Hahaha So jokingly we were like- Oh well are you guys famous? Should
I be asking for your signature? Hahaha And they were laughing.... and then said
yes..... SO sorella Haslem and I were like ,"Oh no are you serious!!!! I
feel so bad I have no idea who you are!!!" Hahaha SO we had to explain we
don’t watch TV or read the Paper and ohhhhhh mannnnnn so there stop came up so
they are getting off the metro AND GUESS WHAT HAPPENS???????? We have NO TIME
to bring up the gospel ANNNDDDDDDDDDD The just say- Ok bye and then Bacci us.
-____- We are the worst people ever. Lol No signature, I don’t even know who
they are, we didn’t talk about the Church ANDDDDDDD they kissed us. Great. Just
great. Don’t worry I repented. Also When I say kiss I mean like...... cheek.
Like Italian kisses on the cheek. I felt like I should clarify. lol
Also this week Sorella Haslem and I found out we know to
speak all basic phrases in Portuguese, Spanish, Albanian,
Romanian, French, Tagolig, and Chinese. Lol SO We feel like we have
served missions everywhere. I mean we go from teaching someone about the Idea
of God (Chinese) with reading from Chinese pamphlets to people who are bible
scholars Bahahahha Like ALLLL different backgrounds. In fact yesterday our
Investigator had her Interview for baptism with President Dibb and when he
came out he said, "She doesn’t speak Italian" HAhahahaha So we
said, we know president, we teach her in Spanish....... We use the Gift of
Tongues a lotttttttt Hahahahahahaha Ya we forgot to mention that little
detail...... Lol But yeah I super wanna study Languages when I get home.
IT’S SUPER COOL!!!!
