Gara di Cucina! (aka "Cooking Competition")

Ciao Tutti!
Well it's been quite the week. I have a new companion! Her name's Sorella Clawson, and she's amazing.
The biggest news of the week is that we pulled off our Gara di Cucina!!!! Halleluiah! 
We got slightly nervous at 7:00 when we were supposed to start and only a few people were there, none of which had brought food. But within 15 minutes we were able to start. We had set up 'Lehi's Dream' throughout the church and after a quick explaination sent people through. It turned out really well. We used yarn as the iron rod. For the first minute they weaved through the Relief Society room and then they went to the chapel, where they were blindfolded. Fratello Saliaj played the great and spacious building, yelling insults and telling them that they were going the wrong way. Then he got really creative and when they arrived at a table where the string did a zigzag, he would take their hand, move the yarn over their head, and pull them up to the front with him. He captured around ten people that way. We also had a point where the yarn split, and a bumpy yarn was added leading the way to a dead end. It all turned out really well. 
Afterwords we had the food contest with us missionaries and Bishop as judges. We had several nonmembers there, and it all went really well.
With the new transfer we're restarting scambi. Tomorrow we're doing a double-scambio in Reggio Emilia and then we have mission cosiglio in
Milano the day after. We come up with a little theme for the sorelle each transfer, and this time we're focusing on gratitude using Anziano Uchtdorf's talk from general conference.
I love you all. Have a marvelous week!

Sorella Pace
