Peace & Happiness

Ciao tutti!!!!!!!

THIS WEEK WAS CRAAAAZY!!!!!!!!! So transfers came and sorella mikesell is going to bari!!!!! its like the most fishy place in italy and she thought i was going with her and so we were both freaking out cause we both HATE fish!! we always say (ci dispiace noi abbiamo un alergi a frutti di mare) haha we are sorry we are alergic to fruit of the sea! haha but turns out she is going down and im staying IN ROME 3!!!!!!!!! WAHOOOO I LOVE MY GHETTO!! ok but the best part of transfers was finding out who my new comp is!!! her name is sorella pace!!!! in italian that means sister peace!!!! hahahahhahah SISTERS PEACE AND HAPPY!!!!! I LOVE IT!!! She is as old in the mission as sorella mikesell! so just six weeks older then me but i heard she is really good with italian!!

Ok so last pday we went to the borghese gardens! its like the central park of rome and you can see all or rome from this one look out site and it was BELLISSIMA!!!! oh by the way im not the best at spelling in italian like for example last week my email was named ci amo but that means i love us hahah i meant to say vi amo which is i love you guys hahah anyway still working on my italian a bit!

So after borghese we went to the spanish steps and they were super cool but the best was the stores around the spanish steps they had gucci and prada and all the huge stores!! so fun!!!!!

Ok now for my scariest moment EVER in italy!!! we are on this bus (all four sisters) trying to find a refferal and this guy gets on and he is acting crazy like doing karote (spell check) anyway he runs to the back of the bus and just stairs at me and suddenly his hand pulls back in a fist and HE IS ABOUT TO PUNCH ME IN THE FACE!!!!!! then he just looked at me and was making these hissing noises then he backed away and we all felt we needed to get off the bus so we got off in the middle of no where hahaha but we met some really cool people!!! then like three busses later we saw him AGAIN!!! and he was running at us and we were all panicked and he pointed at us and started yelling about how he wanted to go to france...... i think he was on drugs anyway crazy thing we have seen this man 4 times this week!!!!! ROME IS HUGE!

Ok so last pday we had a gypsy try to steal our bags and this one guy saw her and slapped her!!!! and then this huge fight broke out and it was CRAZY!!!

So this week in english course we have started to ask our students to say the prayer and we had a new student this week and they volunteered to say the prayer and we were like oh how awesome is that and suddenly she says she is going to do a certain prayer and ALL the catholics in the room start doing a recited prayer with the cross and everything hahahah we found out who was catholic which was a good thing!!!

This sunday one of our less active families (who are starting to come everyweek and they are going to the temple soon!!! soo excited!! ) they brought a dog to church!!!! and no one was like you cant have the dog here!! they just loved the dog and they wanted to feed him sacrament bread!!!! but our district leader went up to them and told them that was not ok hahahh anyway thats what the wards are like in italy

We got a phone call this week from this guy who was asking for the nun maria hahahah he thought we were sisters from a convent and he wanted to find his good friend maria!!!!! SO ITALY!!!

So interesting fact for the week!! we have started to knotice that sometimes when we get on busses people will look at us and start praying and they wont stop praying till either we are off the bus or they get off the bus and someone told us that they are trying to either pray for us because we think we are doing good but we are not like the "forgive them for they no not what they do" or they are praying to ward off our evil spirits...... you got to love catholics!

So the other night we got home and i put my retainers in and then we did planning and i was trying to speak in italian with my retainers in and it was the worst thing ive ever heard! it sounded like i was speaking russian!!!!!!!!

So last night we went over to the family who broght the dog to church so sorella mikesell could say good bye and we had dinner and a little testimony meeting and it was super fun we had lasagna and it was my first lasgna in italy!!!!!!!!!!!! anyway when we were leaving we like to race one of the kids jhamil down the stairs and we are running like jumping four steps at a time and all of these people were like "Who are these people!!! Why are they running!!! THE GOVERNMENT!!! and then everyone started to flip out cause they thought we were government hahahha

We went to micheles this week and had bruschetta (prounounced bru sket ahh, not a bru chet ah) by the way. anyway it was super fun but its the middle of summer which means its SUPER HOT!!! and the misquitos are out.... i counted my misquito bites on my leg and i have 14 on one and 17 on the other!!!!! aiutomi!!!!!

Anyway im sorry that this letter is so scattered and weird i dont have much time cause we have to do a picture exchange and there was so much that happened this week i didnt want to miss anything. I LOVE MY MISSION SO MUCH!!!! This week was just so good and so fun!!!! i love getting to meet new people and i love this gospel so much!!!! im just so happy out here!!! my district calls me sorella sempre felice (sister always happy) haha not kidding i havent heard sister felice in like six weeks! anyway im so thankfull that i was given the oppurtunita to go on a mission it has changed my life forever and i feel like im learning so much!!!
