She's HOME!!!

She's HOME!!!  Can't describe how wonderful it was to hug her!!  Ignore the weird sign (inside joke by Ellie).

Week 67 Letter from Sorella Hills

Hello family! 

Wow, that sounds like a crazy week! The flowers look beautiful! Spring is here!!!! That's a cool activity the missionaries did, we want do do something similar, but it's hard to find the time/ resources.  It's quite an accomplishment, tell them I say congrats! 

Also, I've heard that Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is a good one, so I'm excited to watch it/critique it! Hahaha, I miss the after the movie discussion on all the things that went wrong, I am such a movie person! So pumped!

That's a small world, with the mission president and all, so crazy! What are even the odds? 

1.  Has being on a mission made you think more seriously about your future?  Or are you so busy you are focused only on the work?  Oh, it's made me think a lot about my future! Speaking of which, I don't want to live at the Willows... if Issy wants, we can room together at the Towers- I think it's called.  It's a bit cheaper, and the room space is larger.  Something to think about 😁 I also don't know about my major anymore... I like everything tooooo much! That's the struggle right now.  So, I am busy, but also aware that it's coming to an end soon.  So.  Yeah! Also, regristration... I DON'T HAVE TO DO IT UNTIL I COME HOME!!! So happy 😁 

2.  What are you doing to prepare for Easter?  What are your Easter plans?  We sent you a little Easter gift.  Well, for one, we bought ourselves gigantic Easter eggs today 😆. They are a tradition here, instead of the Easter basket, they get this huge egg with a surprise inside.  So, looking forward to that.  Also, yesterday was Palm Sunday. Since Italy is still Catholic, we got to have a good reminder that Easter is coming up soon.  Remember why we celebrate Easter, people! Christ suffered, died, and rose from the dead.  It's the greatest event in all of history! Remember. 

3.  How is working with your companion been?  Fantastic! I told you that she was my companion in the MTC right? It's been good to see her, and how much we have both changed.  She's a great teacher as well, so it's been really good sharing the work load.  We will probably finish our missions together, so I'm really excited! 

I love you all! Stay frosty my friends!

Week 66 Letter from Sorella Hills

HELLO FAMILY!!! 

Wowza, lots going on! We had a crazy week too... we went to Cagliari to get my companion's Permesso di Soggiorno (it's like a green card of sorts).  So, we got to fly, and see Sardegna again! I love Sardegna SO much! It was good to go back, that's for sure! We tried to buy the rings, but my card was blocked.  So, I took the money out, and gave it to another Sorella, who is going back next week, and she will pick them up for me.  I won't send pictures, so it's a surprise, a long with all the other things I've gotten you guys! 

We also had a conference for the mission leaders, and for the zone leaders, and our district meeting.  Plus General conference! So, we were out of the city a lot... but it was good.  I love traveling 😆

What was your favorite talk? You probably haven't seen them all yet. I have only seen the Saturday sessions... NO SPOILERS! But I loved the ones by Holland, and by Nelson.  Sooooooo good! 
Tell us about the Baptism in the ocean. It was an investigator of the Sorelle from Ladispoli.  A lot of places don't have fonts, so they do a lot of the baptisms in the ocean!

Love you all! Todo bien!

Week 65 Letter from Sorella Hills

Hey fam! 

1.  Did your transfers happen?  Yes, mama!! My new companion is my comp in the MTC!
2.  Are you taking good care of your teeth and flossing regularly?  Sorry, 'mom' question. Hahaha yes, to the best of my ability!
3.  How are your clothes holding up?  Shoes?   Everything's good.  I've been replacing stuff as I go.   Hey! Do you want a Sard ring? I'm going to Sardegna for Sorella Swensons Permesso, so if you want me to pick you, Issy, or Ellie up something, let me know! I'll put a picture on the cloud share.
4.  Have you read your patriarchal blessing lately?  I wonder if you see any of those promised blessings in your life? I have actually.  I use it like goals more than blessings sometimes, it's been good.

Happy Anniversary!!! 23 years, that's a long time! Mamma mia! The room looks BEAUTIFUL by the way, nice work 😜. 

This week has been really relaxed, my companion is awesome, and we've been able to do some great things already.  We are going to Sardegna on Wednesday, so I'm thrilled! Everything is great here, love you all!
