Ciao Tutti!
     11 more days!  It is pretty hard to believe.  It has gone by so fast and I know the rest of it will as well.  It is so surreal that in such a short time I will be in Italy!  Speaking nothing but Italian.  I have had so many great experiences in the M.T.C. and have met so many great people.  It makes me look foreward to Italy even more and all the amazing people and experiences I will have there.  We have the opportunity to teach alot of lessons in here but I cannot wait for that first real lesson.  One of the Sorelle in our district got a letter from one of the older Sorelle already in Italy, and the experiences that she is having just sound amazing.  We will be doing alot of contacting each day which I am super excited about!  And as great as the food here in the M.T.C. has been, I am ready for that fresh and most delicious Italian food.  I got the opportunity this week to be a host to the new missionaries.  And now they door the curb drop off so you help them get their bags out and make sure their cell phone isn't in thier pocket :) then you take them to get all thier supplies and show them thier room and explain stuff to them, then drop them off at the class.  It was so fun!  I got to help out 3 Elders.  We get the opportunity to do it again next week which I am so excited about!  There were rumors that we were getting our travel plans today but haven't seen them yet. :(  We have the opportunity this Sunday to watch the Brigham City temple dedication which I am so excited about.  It will get me even more excited for the Rome Temple.  Got to speak in Sacrament meeting this past week, first of many in Italian to come! haha  Got to visit the outside world for an hour this week also!  It was different, but kinda nice to get out.  I love you all so much!  Can't wait to send ya'll pictures of me in Italy!  Hope ya'll have a great week!
Love,
