Dear Family, 

68 Sorelle in a Mid-Mission Crisis. 

The sister training leaders came for a scambi last Friday and Saturday. And that is one of the things we talked about. There are apparently 68 sorelle around my age in the mission and we're all reaching (or reached) our halfway point and kind of freaking out. And deeply analysing our missionary work. Somehow the realization that we were not alone calmed Sorella Pond and I down a lot. 

I think I can add to that: 68 Soaking sorelle in a mid-mission crisis. 

It's a little wet out. 

It has been for a week straight. 

And will be for the perceivable future... 

I think the river will over flow soon. 

In interviews last Friday Presidente Dibb said to stay healthy because it will be rainy for the next four months. 

But we are completely happy because our meno attiva came to church!!! For the first time in years! we were able to give her a tour of the newish wonderful Pordenone meeting house and it was amazing. The first time we met her we realized that she was someone who is ready to come back to church, she just needs some help getting there. It's amazing. And she came to church!

And then yesterday we stopped by another less active who's incredibly solitary and wont meet with us. But we were by her house and the bus was in twenty minutes, so we passed by to tell her we love her over the citofono and she told us that just this once we could come up into her house and talk to her! We were there for over 45 minutes and she completely opened up and talked to us and admitted she needed help and invited us to come back again! 

We were late for the rest of our appointments that night but it was completly worth it. 

Dispite the weather missionary work is going strong. 

I love you all! Don't worry Mom, I'm eating my share of chocolate as well. We made a chocolate cake (the joys of boxed cake from the base) for the sorelle last week and it did not last over a day. 

Sorella Pond and I rediscovered the joy of Pace salsa a couple weeks ago thanks to an American member. We downed a jar very quickly and were trying to figure out how to live without it, but luckily last night another family from the Military ward saved us with a second jar. 

Have a wonderful week, keep up with the missionary work at home! Tell the sisters there hello. 

Vi voglio bene!

Sorella Pace
