Soooooo let me tell you
all about my week!
On Monday.. we did games
at the chapel again with Sara Colella and Lorenzo and the Anziani. Myself,
Sorella Nagliati and Anziano Borough made a “lil” pact for our game of Monopoly
and absolutely destroyed the others…. No hard feelings though...well, I don’t think so. In the end some of them
dropped out because they wanted to see us cave in on each other.... but teams
don’t do that so we carried through to the end. BFFL! Haha!

So, on Wednesday we had
lessons with members. 1st with Emmanuela and her husband Adamo and their daughter
Vittoria. (Emmanuela is Brazillian and is a member) her husband is Italian and has
previously investigated the church, he
comes to church every week!!!! We did a Restoration lesson with them... and
then sought referrals using Sorella Nagliati’s dads idea!! We did this awesome
lesson with visuals and singing ... then at the end asked them to write 5 names
of friends that come to mind.... then we knelt in prayer and Emmanuela prayed
about these individuals. At the end she knew exactly who she was going to invite for
dinner (FHE with us there to organise an
introduction to the gospel!!!) We then did a similar lesson with Fratello
Antonio..it went SO well with him too!!! He even asked for 2 Books of
Mormon and by Sunday he had already given one out to a friend!!! Then we had correlation.....or
at least half of correlation haha! It went on for everrrrrrrrr so we had the
other half another day. The great thing is that the ward are getting so SO
pumped up about missionary work here. Vescovo (Bishop) has an action plan... in
10 years he wants Pescara to be its own STAKE!!! They have called nice and
fresh new ward missionaries and have assigned each of us full time missionaries
to work with one of them! I have been assigned Sorella Di Iuglio. She is really
cool! I’m excited to work with her! They have also arranged it so that one of
the ward missionaries or the full-time missionaries are assigned to talk about
missionary work EVERY week... I guess I was the guinea pig haha!! As I’ve
already given mine, so I guess I have a break for a while.. haha!! and they are
genuinely just so so pumped about the whole thing which is AWESOME!!! The
members here in Pescara are so so cool. I love them LOADS! It’s crazy how
attached you really do get to the members and how much more you love them when
you work with them!!! :)

| Pescara Beach at Night... We often street contact here when it is busy! |
Then on Thursday we did a
lesson with F Scelso (the girl in primary who wants to get baptized...)
I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO PUT MY CHILDCARE AND EDUCATION SKILLS TO USE!!!!! I made ‘lil’
visuals and stuff and it went so so well and she loved it and her Mum loved it
too!! :):) Then I taught Sorella Scelso a bit of the piano!! :) because she
wants me to teach her a Napolitan song!!! It’s super cool!!! I have never heard
the song in my life but the way I play it, she says is right so that’s good..
haha!! :)
Then on Friday, we stayed
at home because Sorella Nagliati came down with the flu!!! So I was able to study the language
more.. and look after her and play mummy.. haha!! :)

So in a nut shell that
was our week.
The members here are so
so great and I love that we can rely on them for ANYTHING!
However…..We are so so
nervous for transfer calls on Saturday...............
I think we are both
staying for 1 more transfer together... Sorella Nagliati thinks she could be
moving..... But my Mom and Dad think I'm getting kicked out and Sorella
Nagliati will train hahaha! Mixed predictions!! Tomorrow at DDM... we shall
have our Kinder Surprise predictions and all will be revealed.. I’m sure..
hahaha!! I hope we stay together for 1 more thoughhhhhhh!!! I love herrrrrrr!!!
Can you believe, I'm
nearly 1/3rd of the way?.... errrrrm wow. That flew right by..!!!
I want to thank you for
everything you do for me. Small and big. For the emails of encouragement.. the
prayers.. the fasting.. for the letters.. for the PARCELS! Everyone laughs here
when I say parcels... apparently that’s a British word haha! That’s it for this
week…. But remember…….
I. LOVE. YOU. ALL.
Also Members and Missionaries across Italy received a communication from Elder Massimo DeFeo (An area Seventy in Italy), inviting anyone who is interested in the growth of the Lords Vineyard in Italy to join with them in a special fast, which will be held on the 25th January 2015. Currently the construction work on the Italy Rome temple has been delayed and part of the fast is to make way for the Lords intervention, so that the temple construction can proceed without any further delays or difficulties.
STOP PRESS>>>>Mom and Dad were right...Sorella Robertson is on the move this week (Wednesday 28th January) to Ragusa, Sicily....And Sorella Nagliati will be Training a new missionary!!!
