Babbo! Thanks for the
email, and all! The picture of Luke and Ricardo? Adorable :) Hahaha. Adam's
getting married? Not really. That's all just a joke. Haha, golly gee, I can't
believe it's already here! That's so crazy! So y'all are having crazy fun adventures
in Texas/Mexaco. Awesome :)
Well, number one, let
me let y'all know before hand that we're switching our p-day to Tuesday
next week, because... next week is the Palio (the Siena horse race, that's
basically like a religion!) So, basically no one will listen to us that day,
because EVERYONE will be watching the Palio. So, we're gonna make p-day that
day, and work on Wednesday. Haha.
Also, can I just tell
you HOW happy I was the other day! My word. So, we were heading to a new
missionary training meeting (for Sorella Baird), and there were some other
missionaries headed to that church, too. I started talking to one of the
Sorelle I didn't know very well (she's Italian!), and we talked for a little
bit, then after a little while she asked me, "Were you trained by an
Italian?" and I said "No." and she asks, "Where you trained
by someone who was trained by an Italian?", and I said "Yes!",
and she proceeds to tell me that I don't have an accent hardly at all, but that
she said I speak like an Italian! AGH! :) :) That may or may not have made me
terribly happy! Okay, I did talk to her a bit, but she didn't hear me say
words/phrases I struggle with... she just heard me speak the things I'm
comfortable with. Just the other day I was talking with someone in church and I
mentioned how I would love to, one day, just speak like an Italiana, and they
said, "That does take time." (aka, you're not there yet) - which
didn't bother me at all, I know I'm not there yet. But, just hearing that
someone (an Italian!) thinks I have a really good Italian accent completely
made my day! :)
Well, so this past
week we've been teaching this one guy quite a bit... like, every other day,
almost! He's from Ghana. Such a good guy! All he wants to do is get baptized.
He has a date: 13 luglio! So, hopefully you'll be getting pictures from that
soon! :) The only the is, a comunication barrier. He speaks Twi (and a little
bit of Italian and a little bit of English), so we're just trying to make sure
he understands everything we're teaching.
Also, babbo, just so
you know, I took out €60,00 the other day (I needed some summer shirts, and
some sandals).
Also, oh my, do you
want to hear the happinest little miracle? Well, we had talked to a lady from
Romania the other day, who told us to come back (and bring her a BOM in
Romanian). Well, we had tried to come back twice to see her, but she hasn't
answered. So, we decided to go knock a couple of doors close by. We knocked on
a door with a very old lady, and she invited us in. We talked to her for a bit,
but she wasn't understanding much of what we were saying. Then shortly
after her bidante (I think is how you spell it? - the lady who basically lives
with her, and takes care of her, because she's super old, and can't take care
of herself - a care-taker, basically.) came in. She kinda gave us the heads up
that the lady was too old to understand much, but then we began talking to her,
taught her a tiny Restaurazione lesson, the spirit was strong. And, she
happened to be from Romania! And we had our BOM in Romanian right there with us
that day! We gave it to her, she asked us for our phone number, and we're going
to see her next week! She's wonderful, I love her!
We also just had our
last meeting with President and Sorella Wolfgramm (our mission president)! It's
the craziest! But our new mission president (Pres. Dibb) and Pres. Wolfgramm
were actually companions twice, as they served missions here in Italy... years
ago! Haha. We'll get to meet him next week, I'm super excited!
Well, I got a lot of
pictures to send to y'all, so I'll start sending!
Sorry, I feel like my
emails get shorter and shorter every week!
Vi voglio bene!
Sorella Willis
