Ya'll are going to hate me again because we don't have enough time to email!

Today we asked president if we could wake up early to go to the most beautiful place in my mission... he didn't say yes but he told us to make the decision for ourselves. Sorella Friedbaum really wanted to go. I did, too. So we woke up today at 4:30, got the train at 5 and headed to La Spezia (west coast) then took a bus to Porto Venere. Look it up. 

If it loads in time there is a video attached. I was in heaven.

Seriously, I am in the most beautiful place in the world.

Italia.

Do you all know where I am?

And I speak Italian every day. Yeah, it kind of blows my mind.

We had a great day. It was a great week. I can't believe six of our friends our home from their missions!

Well this week is transfers news so don't send me any mail to my apartment address after today (Wednesday) just in case. I am pretty sure I will stay here there. Do you think I'm gonna train? We'll see what happens.

Sunday, was a proud moment. One of our young women, Jasmin, she is 12 and was baptized two months ago, came up and asked me to help her because she is having behavior issues, saying bad words, has bad friends. Then she bore her testimony is branch conference. She is amazing. I think she is my favorite person to work with right now.

Also, this week we got to go to an Italian doctor! I don't know if they are all like this, but this one we went with our members because they are really sick. You go and wait your turn and it's free, but it's first come first serve. Italia is like a 2nd world country, with some of the people communists and the other half good, decent people. Well, Andrenia had a blood sugar level of 400! And she had bronchitis. And I ate her ice cream. And she keeps feeding us food. And everyone in their house is sick! And, neither of us are sick... yet.  But, we made them a really yummy soup this week, and it turned out well. Success.

What else? We run for trains almost every day because sorella has a hard time keeping track of time. But she's great. We have had some fun times even if they are rough. We are starting to finally get our people back to teach! Piano, piano.

Well dear family and friends, I love you all. You are amazing. I am overly eagerly awaiting to see this new baby that is already supposed to be here! But I will wait because what else can I do?

We got Kebabs for lunch and now we are going to go catch the three hour train home and nap. And I will finally write some of you letters. 

Love you ALL!!!

:)

P.S. What happened in Paris? And the video is too big. I’ll see what I can do for next week.

Sorella Hastings =)
