La Sorella in Italia: Trasferimenti!

Dear Family,

So it's that time of the transfer again, when it ends. I figured that I'd be leaving Pordenone since I've been here for four transfers, but I was not expecting the call from Presidente Dibb on Monday night calling me to go to Rimini and be a Sister Training Leader. Wow!

I'm excited and nervous and hope I'll be a good leader. My companion is Sorella Bucco who's supposed to be amazing. Rimini is one of my dream cities- it's on the Adriatic Coast, pretty touristy, and every missionary who serves there absolutely loves it. My trainer Sorella Heupel had just left Rimini and talked about it all the time. So it seems like once again I'll be spending the summer by the sea. Which is really nice because I was dreading an Italian summer inland.

It's going to be really sad leaving Pordenone, especially since I'll miss S's and L's baptisms. They are so wonderful, and the gospel is truly changing their lives.

There have been so many wonderful people here in Pordenone who I love with all my heart. But I'm excited to head to Rimini and serve the Lord and the people there.

Vi voglio bene!

Sorella Pace

Last P-day we went for a hike in the mountains above Pordenone. It was bellissima! Even if I was so not in hiking shape and used muscles I haven't touched in the last year.

My dear sweet 84 year old who's going to be baptized April 12! It has been an absolute miracle watching her understanding of the gospel grow. I think one of my greatest joys was when she was finally able to pass the fake baptism interview because she remembered what everything was.

Karen, a member, S. who is going to be baptized.

I have never met anyone more ready for baptism. She loves the gospel and everything about it. My greatest blessing of the mission has been meeting her.
