Sorella Ashlyn Henderson: From Milan to....

Ciao tutti! Well remember how in my last email I told you all that transfer calls were last Friday and Saturday? Well I am being transferred again ): It was really sad to hear at first but I know that the Lord has a special purpose for me in LODI. And I bet none of you know where that is because it's a little town! Which kind of gives me anxiety because I've been living in a big city for my whole mission, but that's okay. It's about 30 minutes south of Milano. I can get there with my bus pass. Lol. And the ward that I'm going to serve in used to be a part of the Navigli ward before they split, so I'm basically not even leaving Navigli hahaha. And I will be in the ward with the Office Elders instead of the APs. So that'll be cool. My companion will be Sorella Button from my MTC group! Which will be lit! And we'll have our very own car!! 1 of only 2 cities in the mission where the Sorelle get a car! I'm so excited to drive again! I've missed it so much!

Well our 2 most solid people we are teaching, Karem and Nancy, are still doing really good! Nancy is getting prepared to be baptized on the 25th of August and Karem is striving to live the Word of Wisdom, even though we haven't even taught her that yet! She just heard about it and wants to try to live it! Which is so cool! I had to say goodbye to them, as well as my new converts and the members yesterday, and it was really sad. But I love these people and I know that I will come back to visit them! I really have had a special opportunity to be able to serve here.

Last p day we went to the top of the Duomo, which was SO HOT! NEVER AGAIN. Holy Milano is sort of miserable right now so everyone is fleeing for vacation. We have almost no people in the English conversation class and about half of the members in church each week. This is Italian culture. But I can't wait for September when everyone gets back haha.

In a couple hours, I will head down to Lodi (in a car!). And that will be a new adventure for me. And next week I will let you all know how that goes! I love to hear from you all! Shoot me a quick email if you have time. (: Vi voglio bene!
