Last P-Day in the M.T.C.

Ciao tutti! Hope everyone is doing well! I am doing fantastic! And better everyday. I leave this coming Tuesday for Rome, Italy, and this time next week I will be in my new area! The feeling of excitement is unreal. We recieved our travel itinerary Friday of last week and have had alittle bit of "senioritis" since then, but continue to work hard because I know I need every bit I can get. We are flying British Airways an we leave SLC at: 11:10 a.m. arrive in Chicago at: 3:05 p.m. Leave Chicago at: 7:10 p.m. and arrive in London at: 9:05 a.m. Depart from London at 10:55 a.m. and arrive in Rome at: 2:20 p.m. Should be quite the day but it will be a good day! Then I will recieve my first area and have the chance to email, so everyone knows I'm safe! haha This has really been a great week, on Sunday we got to be apart of the Brigham City Temple dedication. It was an amzazing experience and got me that much more excited for the Rome Temple. As much as I love the food here in the M.T.C. I cannot wait for that first meal in Italy! And I am guessing right now my first area is going to be in Sicily, or Sicilia, and if it is true I am going to end up with a sweet accent! packages and mail are alot more expensive to send to Italy so send them now! :) Thank you all so much for all the love and support you have shown me thus far. My family truely is such a blessing. This week has been busy trying to squeeze everything in but this has to be one of the most exciting times of my life and so happy that I get this opportunity. Just a couple more classes left and another fast sunday, we have had 3, then the real work begins, and the real excercise begins! For anyone who is wondering, I have lost 1lb. so far! So pray for me that I never get a car in Italy! Love you all So much and have a great week! Love, Anziano Bird
