BUON GIORNO!!!!

     How is everybody!  Thank you to all who sent me a countdown this week! ;)  I almost forgot!  Except for my roommates tell me everyday! haha  Still doesn't feel real, especially because we are so busy.  This week we had our Zone Conference, my last, so I had to do my "dying testimony".  It was SO weird!  But it was a really good conference and gave our zone the lift we needed.  Afterwards we got to go visit a less active member who I love in the Roma 2 area.  And of course she fed us dinner, and we got to teach a lesson to her and her sons who aren't members!
     The next day we went to Roma 1 for a scambio, I went with Anziano Carr who is one of my best friends!!  We sat next to each other in the MTC!!!  It was awesome!!  Just in the little time together we saw a lot of miracles!!  We went to find an old investigator of mine, and instead there was a different guy there who wanted to meet with us again!! So sweet!!  The next morning early we caught a train back to Terni.
     Unfortunately we were talking with somebody and we missed our stop!  So we got off at the next one, not knowing where we were, and we were in the middle of nowhere!! and the next train didn't come for 3 hours!  We asked around and there where no buses, so we decided to walk to our next appt.  Little did we know, the next town was 2 hours away, up a couple of mountains away! haha  But we finally got to a city where we caught a bus and we were only an hour late!!
     Then on the way back, we caught the wrong connecting train and ended up going in the wrong direction!! haha so we were much more careful of where we got off this time and we made it back okay, the Lord was looking out for us!
     The coolest thing about the week was on Sunday, a family of 6 we have been teaching came to church!!!!!!!!!!!!!  It was incredible!  The speakers were so guided by the spirit, it was incredible to watch.  We met with them afterwards and they have been recognizing the spirit lately, and the husband has already read to Mosiah!!!  It really goes to show how important the small things are.  I am so happy and really blessed to have had the opportunity to serve these amazing people... it is life changing seeing other change their lives.  I love this Gospel with all my heart, and know without a doubt it is true. 
     I cannot wait to continue to share my testimony, even after the mission!  So my invite for this week, is to pray to straighten your testimony, then bear it to somebody, because that is how is really grows is through sharing it!!  Today for p-day we went to Perugia and when to the chocolate factory, it was soooooo cool, not to mention all the free amazing chocolate they gave to us!!!  It was a lot of fun.  Tonight we are going to Roma 5 so we can steal their car and do a bunch of scambi this next week!  Love y'all SO much and have a great week!  Don't get too trunky!!

VVB!
