Well as you can guess from the subject line of my email, transfer calls came out!!! But I'm gonna keep you waiting for a second before you hear my news so that I can say... BUONA PASQUA! (Happy Easter!) Pasqua in Italy was really fun and definitely a different Easter experience, but my favorite part (even better than the food) was General Conference. Getting to hear from our new, living prophet and the 12 apostles and being able to sustain them was amazing. A lot of changes were made to Church programs, and I love the feeling of revelation being brought about. Also, a LAYTON, UTAH TEMPLE EVERYBODY!!!! I literallly jumped out of my chair when that was announced and couldn't stop smiling for an hour haha. I still get so happy when I think about it. This temple will be my new temple! It's going to be amazing, and I can't wait.
And as far as transfer news goes, I will be leaving Bologna tomorrow morning to go STL in Milano! For those of you who don't know what STL is, it stands for Sister Trainer Leader. Basically my job will be to watch over all the Sisters in my area, set an example for them, and also do exchanges. So that'll be fun! I'm definitely not qualified at all to be an STL considering I'm only in my 4th transfer, but President assured me that he was aware of how long I'd be in the mission when he made the call, so we don't have to worry about any mistakes, people. Oh and the best part is still coming because they are opening up another coppia of Sorella in my area (Navigli), and I get to live in 4 again!! hahahaha It'll be so fun! I'm hyped for that! I'm a little nervous for my new responsibilities that I'll have as STL, and a little sad to leave Bologna, but also feeling ready for my next adventure. (:
As far as work this week, we ended up getting invited over to members' homes a lot for Pasqua and because I'm leaving. So that was good. We're going over to salute my last African family tonight. ): I'll miss them the most, I think. Last Wednesday after P Day we taught a really awesome first lesson. Her name is Wowo, and she has so much potential. I'm excited for Sorella Frandsen and her greenie to get to teach her.
One of my favorite quotes from General Conference this weekend comes from Elder Talor G. Godoy. He said, "Any sacrifice we make is small compared to that of the Son of God." These words really struck me because I know that my mission is a really small sacrifice in comparison to Christ's Atonement and suffering. Christ performed these acts for each of us as individuals, and the best way we can show our gratitude to Him is by trying our individual best each day. To some, my mission may same like a big sacrifice, but I know that it really isn't. Especially considering all of the amazing blessings that I get every day and that I will get for the rest of my life because of it. It feels more like the Lord is paying me, instead of the other way around. And I'm sure it is. I'm so grateful for Christ and His Resurrection and what we celebrated this last weekend with Easter. I love you all and wish you some happy studies of Conference! Vi voglio bene! Ciao!
