Ciao Tutti!

Ciao tutti!

It's been quite the week of sunshine and cloudbursts. Last Saturday we had quite the soaking as we were caught out in a paesino, senza umbrelli, and with rain puddles up to our calves. It seemed like a hurricane outside, but luckily the bus stop bench was secure, so we could stand on that without floating away. It's been a crazy summer weather-wise.

We helped a less-active can peaches last week. We were cutting them up when I opened a peach only to find twenty earwigs wiggling around in there. You know how I do with bugs. It was quite divertente, but the peaches were delicious. She makes homemade peach juice that is to die for. It's so thick and fresh. You feel like your eating a peach. She's doing really well and making so much progress! We taught her about the parable of the 10 virgins, and the need to have the oil of conversion in our lamps. The next day when we showed up for canning she had read the scriptures in the morning and was listening to conference talks on her tablet! We're so proud  :)

Our wonderful investigator, I accepted a bap date! That was a huge miracle. We read 3 Nefi 11 with her and taught the gospel. It was a really good lesson. Her only struggle is that she manages a hotel and had crazy hours. She really wanted to come to church this week but wasn't able. But she really had the desire to be baptized and wants to really prepare.

Yesterday was a scambio in Bologna. I was able to be with my MTC comp. Sorella Bollwinkel for a day! It's crazy how much time has already passed. We can now speak Italian together! haha. and our lessons actually make sense.

Transfers will be happening next week. I assume to stay in Rimini since Sorella Clawson's headed home, but we'll find out on Saturday.

I love you all! Keep your lights shining bright!!!
