Ferragosto

Ciao tutti!!

This email will be a bit scattered but hey...I am a missionary. 

Cute couple miracle...we had like one hour until English class so we went to a park. But there were only two people there and it was a teenage couple. My thoughts...eww I don't want to talk to them...they are going to role their eyes and be rude. Well we filled up our water bottles at a fountain and then I said

Sorella lets go send a daily text message (what I wanted to do) ...after we go talk to this couple ( not what I wanted to do). We went and ended up talking to his couple. Which actually they are not a couple but they should be Gaia from India and Jason from the phillipines. They both speak English but grew up here in Italy. We talked about receiving answers to prayers. We talked about their experiences. We shared the restoration of the gospel. They loved it. 

I gave a talk in sacrament which was super fun!!! 

Plan of happiness....thanks to Christ. We don't need to fear! He wants us also to have peace in this life!!!

I met a Peruvian... Patricia in the station and my companion had a Spanish Book of Mormon that day. We talked about trials and her son. It was amazing how Heavenly Father guided us to her. 

We don't know who needs us. 

I am grateful for the atonement of my savior. I am no where near perfect. But I know that Heavenly Father will accept that if I come unto Christ and restart. 

“If you are struggling, confused, or spiritually lost, I urge you to do the one thing I know will get you back on track. Begin again to prayerfully study the Book of Mormon and live its teachings every day, every day, every day! I testify of the profound power in the Book of Mormon that will change your life and strengthen your resolve to follow Christ. The Holy Ghost will change your heart and help you see ‘things as they really are’ [Jacob 4:13].” Kevin Pearson 

I love this gospel...anytime I have doubted I have opened the Book of Mormon and over time found what I needed...but it's only because I had faith and tried. 

I hope you can all have faith and try. 

Love Sorella skinner

This week is ferragosto where all Italians leave to the beach....so pray for me that we will find someone who can't go to the beach but even better have the gospel
