Italian Mafia and Ultimate Frisbee

Ciao tutti! Well another week has come and gone by really fast. Today is p day and also my sweet companion's 20th birthday! So we are headed on up to Lecco for p day today. Something notable is that the weather has really cooled down this week and you don't feel like melting every time you walk outside! It actually gets pretty cold here at night now. So that's been a relief. And people are back from vacation! We went and did finding in centro yesterday and there were actually people out there! So it's been a solid week. Other than the fact that Sorella Button and I both got sick but we are on the way up from that. 

We had so many meal appointments this week! We made enchiladas with Fanny on Monday, a little less active lady from Argentina that doesn't speak much Italian haha it was soooo yummy. We also ate some fake waffles and tiramisù. And we got a referral from the Brazilians last Wednesday!!! They are my favorites. We taught Italian to them and their friends on Sunday, and we had an appointment scheduled for a family home evening on Monday with their friends but their friends had to work so we just did it with the Oliveiras instead. I love them so much!

So last Friday, at our youth activity, we played ultimate Frisbee, which was dope. Until Sorella Button's phone got stolen!! We searched forever for it. But then things brightened up when 1. At the McDonald's drive thru they gave us 2 extra gelati for free! And 2. We hopped on over to the police station the next morning to file a report and her phone was there! We don't know exactly what happened, just that it was a miracle.

I just wanted to share with y'all a scripture I found in my personal study the other day. 3 Nefi 5:13 "Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. I have been called of him to declare his word among his people, that they might have everlasting life." 

I am so proud to be a missionary! Sometimes it feels like a really big job because people's eternal lives are on the line. But I have seen so many blessings from my missionary work, and I love having this calling. I just love Lodi so much. Every area I get transferred to, I love it more and it takes less time to love it. Time is flying by too fast! Thanks for reading and hit me up with emails. (: vi voglio bene! Ciao!
