Ciao all! Well I guess I will just start off with the weird, I am no longer in Rimini but instead in Bologna with the wonderful Sorella Taylor! It is a really long story but in the end I know that I am just where I need to be now. It was so hard to leave that beautiful city and more importantly the wonderful people, but there are many great things ahead here as well. So last Wednesday I arrived here in
Bologna, hence the no emails last week. We filled our days with quite the adventures because Sorella Taylor has only been here 2 weeks, and I have never been here before. Thursday we met this amazing member her name is Erika, man she is so cool, her husband speaks 10 languages, I think the Elders here are teaching him. She told us all about her hometown in Peru, and we talked about pretty much everything under the sun. She was so nice and
so happy to see us. Our English class here is soooooo different from any English course ever. There are three Elderly people who come. I have yet to understand them in Italian or English, haha. But they brought us food so that was cool. Sorella Taylor and I were really struggling with staying awake haha.
We had a fun FHE activity where we played pictionary, it was fun to see and to meet the ward. On Saturday we met a new convert Helena. Then the icing on the cake (literally), we ventured our way into a Romanian birthday party. Weirdest two hours or so in my life. First of all we showed up and everyone was not happy to see us, they were under the impression that the old Sorella would be there. They were personally offended that she did not make it to the party. But there was one girl, literally a girl she is 19 but has a child.... It's part of their culture to get married very very very young, M is her name and she was very nice and needed us to talk to. We were stuck at the party for quite sometime because heaven forbid us to leave, again just their culture. Things were just chaos babies crying everywhere, all the men yelling and laughing at one table across the grass field, drama among the women, and then it just started to pour we are talking thunder and lightning. Then they brought out the cake...... There were literal literal fireworks on the cake. Sorella Taylor and I were dying with laughter and shock. They were a very close family, and there were a lot of them. I am sure we will see them again.
Sunday we had church and lots of calls. Because we had to prepare for scambio! Because Sorella Taylor is an STL, so as her comp, I am involved in the scambio process.... On Monday we had our scambio! I was with my Sorella Bartch who is from Germany. We had a good lesson on Monday and we didn't even get lost. So yeah for that, four days in this city has got nothing on me! These past few weeks have just been absolutely crazy on me. So one thing i decided to do was to read and dedicate a Book of Mormon to just find scriptures about peace and finding answers. I have been highlighting and writing notes just on this one topic in one place. One that I found this week was: Moroni 7:36. "Or have angels ceased to appear unto the children of men? Or has he withheld the power of the Holy Ghost from them? Or will he, so long as time shall last, or the
earth shall stand, or there shall be one man upon the face thereof to be saved?" I know that there are miracles and angels still today, sometimes we just have to look for them!
Love you all!
