jesus fried for our sins🫣

 

Holy cow this was definitely one of the more fun weeks of the mission😎 so many funny little things happened so I'll try to condense everything into this email

During a member lesson, I was talking about how Jesus suffered for our sins. I said "Gesù ha soffrito per I nostri peccati" but sadly I made a classic greenie blunder... soffrito is way different from sofferto. I said Jesus was deep fried for our sins and not suffered. I immediately put my head down after recognizing my childish mistake

During that same lesson, the old member man stop in the middle of the conversation and told my companion that he has a friend that looks like him. After 5 minutes of searching, he pulls out a terrible picture of the most generic looking Italian hahah 

My testimony has grown of "ask and ye shall recieve" a lot this week. On Monday night, I asked this bakery we always go to for a shirt and they gave me one for free. THEN the next day after a year and a half search, my boy Gaetano gave me a train Italia tie. Pics attached of both

🪐 the days are flying⚡️

 It's been a good week full of good work! I got my new comp Anziano Meredith who is also from Buontiful which is crazy so it's been fun

We had a lesson with our recently baptized convert Alejandra and at the end of the lesson we asked if she wanted to serve a mission and she said "I don't know if i can but I'll make sure my kids do". Overall very tender🫠

I had a guy i talk to a couple weeks ago confess his love for me so that was awkward. I thought we were good friends but I thought wrong apparently (see pic attached)

Un bacio affettuoso,

I finished my sister mission

 I've been a missionary for over 18 months now! Scary how fast time is going🫠

This week Luigi and The Benìtez family was baptized. Nothing better than someone entering the covenant path with their eyes on the temple afterwards

Love yall,

ocean dunk fest p.1

 This week was a bit crazy trying to get all our friends ready for baptism. It's been so fun to see the Lord bless them and us as we head towards the covenant path together💕 I'm trying to have them be baptized in the ocean but one guy is like 60 so he might die with the cold water. Better in the font I think

This week, the English branch had a baptism so we went to help set up and the church ran out of water. Fun how that happens but it's okay because the nice thing about Sicily is that you're a 5 minute walk from the ocean. Rita was baptized at 7 at night in the ocean when it was about 40 degrees hahaha she's such a tank🚜

I'll tell yall next week how the baptisms go! The pic with the family is the Benìtez fam and they are the ones🪅

Buona mercoledì,
