We are all misfits!

Ciao my people!!

 

I am so sorry that I failed last week to email you all, it was a crazy day. For pday we went to a world market! Anyway...this week has been sad and terrifying and let me just get started.

 

Tomorrow Sorella Smart is leaving me, I know so rude, but she is going home to have a life of her own and get married so its exciting. I love teasing her about that. But anyway last week I found out what was happening to me, well I am staying here with my Navigli people that I love so much! And I am going to get a step mom, back up trainer, her name is Sorella Boscia and she is Italian! She is from Sicilia! I freaked out when I found out, I actually cried a little that night. But at the same time I knew that I have a Heavenly Father who is aware of me, He knows exactly what I need. This language is hard for me, its the hardest thing ever actually but now I am going to be helped with a beautiful Italian who can barely speak English at all. And before I was told this I actually had thoughts like, am I ever going to really be able to speak this language, well Heavenly Father could hear those thoughts, and yes, I am going to be speaking Italian a lot more now, because I wont have much of a choice. I was a little scared about this at first, but at zone conference on Monday I met Sorella Boscia and she seems so amazing!! We actually did a roleplay with her at the conference and she was just so kind and friendly! I am very excited! I know that I am going to learn lots this transfer. I know at times it is going to be rough, but I know I will rely on my Savior through it all. He will help me through it.

 

As for a miracles of the week!!! We had a baptism!!! It was great! Stacy is amazing and so happy! We could feel the happiness and light in her after her baptism. What a beautiful promise she made with her Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ to always remember them and do her best in this life! Aww she is the greatest!

 

We had 11 investigators in church on sunday!!!!!!!! WOOOH! And I sat by 2 of them by myself during sacrament meeting, it was very cool to have them in mind and be like trying to think what they thought of everything.

 

Glasses story! One investigator loves having us over, she treats us like her children. She has such great faith, only problem is she cant read the book of mormon. She cant see very well and doesnt have reading glasses so that makes it hard for her to know for herself that what we are teaching is true.In our apartment we found some reading glasses that had been left at the apartment by a previous missionary. So we thought we would take them and see if they worked for her. They did! We were amazed and now she can read the words of God. That was amazing, now she has no excuse to not read!!!

 

Wow this week has been truly amazing. I love my Heavenly Father and I know that He knows me perfectly and that was confirmed again when I found out who my companion would be this week. I know that he loves us all enough that He gave his only begotten son as a gift to the world. In our zone conference we were asked to remember the gift, embrace the gift, and share the gift. I invite you all to remember our Savior Jesus Christ, the greatest person to live and act like and remember him during this time and throughout the year.

 

As for the title of the email, Sorella and I were talking about Rudolph and I remembered this song. How true though, we all have our weird quirks about us, but our Heavenly Father loves us anyway and he made us that way!

Just like the cowboy who rides, the osterig. --sure i didnt spell that right  

 

Love you all! Happy almost christmas!
