This week's email is going to be short because really there's not much to report. I got sick last week and am still just kind of dragging. It'll be a miracle if my body lasts this last 2.5 months, haha. Thank heavens I'm not in it for 17 years. Oh mamma, Alma, you're a stud.
We had a beautiful Easter lunch, filled with way too many chocolate eggs, at the house of the Rossi's. He's Pres Wolfgramm's counselor and I actually met him when he came to Siena a few weeks ago, and they're so cool. They have a daughter who served in Temple Square (knows Laura Otto) and is now married with two little kids, and then they have a son who served in England. Without them the branch of Forlì could not exist.
It was nice to be in a home and then share our little lesson with them because we haven't been teaching as much as I like to and it just felt good to do my job.
Today we're just going to kick it here (we went and saw San Marino last week with the Jeffries) and tonight we're going to go teach Laura and her beautiful family. Her daughter Agnese, 11, soon to be 12 on June 3rd, is my new bff. Love her.
We've started working with some really beautiful less active Nigerian women that have solid testimonies but just don't come to church. We're teaching everyone the restoration and pushing them to read the BOM and then after a few lessons we're going to figure out what is going on with all of them. It seems like some of them have just felt pushed lately so we're going to work our Sorelle power and love the crap out of them and then invite them to get their act together because we want their salvation, not because I like telling people what to do.
You are all wonderful and I pray for you everyday. Be good!

Sorella! I found your blog doing a google search for Elcia Calvachi. I was so excited to read that she is still active and strong! I was wondering if you happen to know her current address? I was one of her first missionaries and would love to write to her and Franco but am not sure if they are living at the same address in Bergamo. I hope that your mission is goinf fantastic and that your feet aren't too weary! Keep up the great work! God be with you. - Emiline Twitchell (my email address is emiline.twitchell@yahoo.com or the same thing at gmail).
