Good morning! I don't have too much to share today, I don't think. Our work here is starting to pick up and we are running into all sorts of people to talk to. For example, last Thursday we got on an early train to Parma to take a bus out to Noceto. On that bus (a 40 min ride) we passed a huge castle with a huge garden around it! If I am here another transfer i might try to go visit it. But anyways, on that train we sat down next to a lady and begin to talk with her. Her name is Pamella, and she was heading to the funeral of her daughter. She is from Nigeria, and is here by herself. Three years ago she had baby, and the baby died young. She just had this baby in February (premie) but she did not hold out. We talk with her, talking about the Plan of Salvation and the peace we get from it. the Love of God per her. She said she feels like God doesn't love her anymore... but we prayed with her, she showed us fotos and she was happy to talk with us. She does not live in our area so we had to pass her, but meeting miracle people like her are a testimony of why we always need to share the gospel because we never know who we will meet and what they need.
Easter! Saturday we got to watch some conference and the women's session. We sat at the computer in the church with the Anziani and ate popcorn. I loved it. I loved all of the talks about the family.
Sunday, we had a fabulous Easter meal with the bishop who invited us over and their family. Lasagna (my favorite!) and chicken, veggies, bread, good stuff. They have the giant chocolate Easter eggs with a surprise inside that we cracked for dessert. I like the Columba better, a holiday cake. Yum.
Here were some of my favorite talks from conference:
Quenton L cook. about the Sunflower
Brent H Nielson who talked about Luke 15 at the beginning
Wilford W Anderson who talked about the need to hear the music and be able to dance to it
Dale G Relund who talked about A saint is a sinner...
Bednar, who said to fear God completely is to love God more prefectly.
Henry B Eyring both times, the law of the fast and finding rest and peace through our savior.
These prophets are so sweet. I love conference! I downloaded all the talks so now i can go back and listen to the Sunday afternoon session which i didn't get to hear. if you didn't listen to conference, take the time to listen to some talks every once in a while.
It's worth it.
Our bap date Anna is progressing well! She is sharing the gospel with all of her friends at work and that's super cool. We have stake conference this week, and we are going in a bus with the ward to Verona and Elder Teixera will be there, and he wants to meet us and our investigators. Cool stuff!
Bednar countdown: 3 weeks!
Also, I bought the book on discount today Romeo e Guiletta. I was pretty excited.
So, that's about it. here are some photos, and my companion using time effectively while walking clipping her nails, and some Duomo fotos from Parma today.
ALSO! Last night we had a sleepover! To change things up. We moved our mattresses into the living room, slept on the floor and chatted as we fell asleep. it reminded me of my sisters. And we ordered a stuffed crust "american" style pizza last night. It was good. Good times.
I Love you all!
Give me some lunch/breakfast ideas. No one told me what you eat.
Fail.
But I still love you. :)
Look up Alma 4:13-14, thinking our baptismal covenants being for Christ's sake. I read that today, and it was cool.
The church is true, life is good, and next week I will tell you transfer news!
Sorella Hastings =)
Love and Be Loved
