Alice, you are mine...
Today's subject is from our sultry brasilian investigator Jessica. Mamma mia, lei mi fa ridere come non posso dire, but only when she's not around. Last time we were teaching her some dude called her, and she answered and was trying to explain why she couldn't talk and he wasn't listening. So she started lying about being at the supermaket and finally held the phone in front of her face and said non posso parlare con le verdure in mano!
I've had a wicked cold this week and my scruffy sick voice is perfect for imitating her and it looks like in my effort to ditch this American accent I've been adopting her Brasilian inflections. Oh well.
All is well in Bergamo, as always. We're off to citta' alta to meet the GANS, Italy's version of YSA so this will be super brief.
If you haven't sent my box of tricks I would send it to Milano, it will get there much faster I hear. Which reminds me, I feel I should say the mail here is piu o meno un casino. Of all the letters I got this week some were post marked from Feb 27 and some March 21 so moral of the story, Amelia, is sooner or later you'll get my responses, sometimes the post just has a mind of it's own.
Things are crazy here. We were in Milano yesterday for a sisters-only training so I've finally met all the sisters and got to see my MTC peeps. Friday night we're having a musical fireside organized by our bishop's wife (for missionary purposes) with all kinds of great music, mostly not churchy. We've been super involved in because Sorella Jacobson is an h-ing amazing piano player. We either talk to or see Sorella Botta every day, and it should be a fabulous evening with lots of potential peeps to contact and show that it's toats cool to be a real person and read the Book of Mormon too.
I've started reading the gospel of John in my effort to be more well versed in the Bible and he is the man. Obvi all the gospels are great because it's the story of Christ's life but he just has a way with words. And I can't remember of I already told you this, but we've been talking a bit about the end the book when Christ comes back and they've gone back to fishing because they just didn't know what else to do and I just feel like it is such a beautiful story and Christ tells them that when he asked them to leave their nets it wasn't just for awhile, it was forever. And I've been thinking about what that means for us as members. We've decided to follow Christ and it's not just for a while, for when it's easy, it's for ever. And the clock is almost out but the best way that Christ says we can love Him is to feed His sheep. It doesn't mean we need to convert everyone we know, but I feel like we need to be an example, not be afraid to talk.
Love you!!!!!
