so...news from Italia...IM GETTING TRANSFERED!!!!! AHHHH im off to my second city! its called Trieste...look it up on a map..=) yay. its actually where i wanted to go because its the only place where their are sisters near the ocean. and i heard that we can go to venice. so stoked! i sure hope that that is possible. but who knows. I am heading there tomorrow, and guess what?!?! Im getting an italian companion!!! im a little nervous about having to speak in italian all the time, i hear that she doesnt speak on speck of english. so....yep. here we go! soooo. my rein in torino is over. its been a good one, seen two baptisms, and right now we have a pretty good teaching pool. we have about 7 solid investigators, on italian family with 2 children =) im so excited for them. The two kids, one just turned 12 and the other in 20, but this is exactly what we were praying for. we have been teaching the Dad for about 3 months now, and only a few weeks ago we got to meet the family. so stoked for that one! the family is awesome! they are always so happy when we come. im sad to be leaving them. there is also another investigator of ours that is gonna be baptised on the 26th of august. its rare when you find some one that tells you that she's gonna be baptized this month, and then we set up a date just like that! its so great.....although, she was taught and had a baptisimal date 2 years ago. her husband wouldnt let her do it the last time, she is more than ready for it this time! she is super awesome. Then we had our other two investigators Rosa and Isabella, they are awesome. I think within a couple of transfers they will be ready for the water! We have one other person named Villma, she is from peru, she is the hardest working lady ever,. with the BIGGEST heart! she really is amazing, and she loves God so much, we'll see when her baptisimal date will be...i think it could be soon! anyways. we also have 2 really awesome new converts. Yanelys, she is amazing, everyone tells us that too! she has the firmest testimony i have ever seen! She said that she's gonna come visit me in Hawaii. i hope so! hahaha. the Omar, they are having a rough time right now, their daughter Chrismarina is in the hospital, she had a really bad asthma attack. poor thing! she has to stay there for 5 days. we went and saw them yesterday...i have never seen her so depressed and timid. But everything will be okay. the doctors and everything said it will just take a few days to heal up good. but yeps. I will be leaving the city in the hands of Sorella Alexander...she keep this place in great shape! and then Sorella Walton will be taking my place, she is amazing, she was in the MTC with me. Love her. She is the sweetest person, and she really puts her heart in to her work, i know that she is gonna make this place burst!!!! so awesome! so anyways....thats life here. im exctied to be moving on to another adventure!
Hi! Ellagirl....this is Aunty April. I will be sharing your blog with your Grandma. Boy will she be off the hook. I tried to get her to do emails to you, but you know her....if she doesn't utilize it on a regular base, she forgets. Signs of a busy busy lady.
ReplyDeleteYour Grandpa will be going, if he didn't go already, for a month to help Kenji. He's building another house on his Big Island property. Your Grandma and I think they just wanna spend time together. They are really close and miss one anothers company. Naturally your Grandma likes that, to not have to worry about him. She will miss him, but I realize that your Grandma is the samurai.
Your Uncle Cory and Aunty went to Vegas so Grandma is watching the girls while they've been gone. I think they return tonight if they've not returned already.
Your cousin is doing well on his mission. Your sister Tara is a great Mom and your Grandma wants to wee the baby. Been trying to encourage her to get over her fear.of flying and go. We shall see.
Anyway, I've bookmarked your blog on my Droid, so I can't wait to surprise her. Will post a.comment when that happens.
You take.care.and I'll be following you.
A'hui ho malama pono....
Aunty April
