Milly!!!!!

CIAO TUTTI!!!

IM SO EXCITED I HAVE A NEW NIECE!!!!!!! oh my goodness I've been waiting all week to get on to see pics!!! its been killing me!!!!! We were at a lesson on friday or thursday i cant remember and it was a really good lesson and are phone kept going off during the lesson. so finally sorella cano looks and its PRESIDENT WADDOUPS! i was just like holly crap! and we kept teaching this guy and at the end we say a prayer say our goodbyes and call him back... and I'm thinking.. what could it possibly be... (president NEVER calls) so then I'm like.. OH the other sorelle have a baptism today he probably got our numbers switched. so i call him back and he is like who is this and I'm like sorella felice... and then he's like HELLO PAULA! it was so weird he called be my name!! haha but he was like i just want to tell you that you have a new niece!! AND THEN I SCREAMED AND CRIED!! the guy was just like what the heck (cause he was talking to sorella cano after the lesson) anyway i took a pic right after the i hung up so i can remember where i was when she was born!!! AHH im just sooooooooooo happy!!! last night i had a dream that she had really long brown hair haha ok thats all

So this week definitely wasn't as exciting as last week. haha but it was still great! We taught our new simps that we met last week that we found at the boardwalk.. lungo mare. And we had a more formal lesson about the plan of salvation and it went SUPER well!!! at first the son (hes like 50) kept asking all these questions about adam and eve and i was like (in my mind) "shoot these are the type of questions i have ha ha" but we kept explaining to him that god loves us and that his ways are higher then our ways and how he has a plan for all of us. we had to go deep into free agency cause he just didn't understand why god would let some of these things happen that we see here on earth. anyway SUPER good lesson!! at the end we asked them what they thought and what they believed to be true and they just repeated everything back to us that we had just taught!!!! so they are definitely improving!!! they told us that they want to start coming to our church! but then yesterday they didn't come :( it was so depressing!! it was one of those missionary moments when you just pray all through sacrament meeting that they'll come and every time the door opens your head turns like a dog seeing a ball fly through the air. Anyway 

funny story. This week there was a baptism but it was in siracusa cause we don't have a font. so we take a almost two hour bus ride to siracusa and have this GREAT baptism. the girl is SOOO strong she used to be testimony di geova and she is like 25 and just so cute! anyway great experience. then we go to catch the bus home and we had missed the very last one for the night by like five minutes.... so we walk for an hour to get to the train station and we buy tickets for a train that leaves at 840. so we wait for half an hour and then sorella cano is like "OH NO OH NO OH MAMMA!!! and we are like what! and she says these tickets are for 8:40!!!!!! and we are like yeah... and she's like it should say 20:40!!! ..... we all felt like idiots.. italians use military time so we had bought tickets for 840 the next morning hahah so have that waste of money we realize there were no more trains either (and we had to get to catania because the confirmation was the in church the next morning. So the anziani came in their car all they back to siracusa to pick us up. so first off we are WAY late! it was like 11 something when we got home because on the way home WE RAN OUT OF GAS!!! hahah but god loves us and as we ran out of gas in the MIDDLE of nowhere there was a gas station haha. anyway thats all. 

also i think catania is called CATania cause there are hundreds of cats here. and it always smells of dead cat... its horrible. 

This week for some reason I've been obsessed with studying!! i feel like whenever we are at home I'm always reading or writing in my study journal. Ive learned so much this week and i feel like every time i study I'm having a hour conversation with god. I just want to tell you all that i know that god loves us and that even if we don't know why things are happening in our life. he does. and if we keep our foundation strong (a foundation built on the atonement) we can overcome everything. and we can accept the fact that we will NEVER understand the meaning of all things. but we just have to remember that god does. and his ways are perfect and for the benefit of man... anyway.

things are good I'm so happy and... I'm just happy. i love you all so much and hope that you are enjoying life and enjoying that cute little bundle of joy!! (milly) LOVE YOU!!!
