Oh sweet sweet Mamma and
family!!!
I loved all of your
emails! You should start using dear elder .com, it is super easy and free. You
just write an email and the MTC prints it out the same day, if you send it
before noon, and I get it with my mail:) You are so funny mom! Thanks for
making my sound like a Micky d's commercial. I am glad you like to sit in my
lovely room and think of me. I am just so great aren't I?!jk!
This week has been
bittersweet. I have been truly humbled. I came in thinking that I would be so
good at everything, Italian and teaching included. Well, my teaching skills
need improvement I really have to study the gospel vocabulary and Italian
grammer. It has been hard getting organized. Last night Elder D. Todd
Christofferson came and spoke to the missionarys. His talk was AMAZING. One
thing that stuck out to me is that when you are busy and doing something, be
sure to recognize the fruits that are yielding from your work. This week I have
felt busy all the time, but as I analyze my fruits I realize I do need to
change what I am doing while I am busy so I can see the fruits of my labors. I
need to increase my knowledge of PMG and of Italian. I also learned that if you
pray for the spirit to help you change so you do see more results that he will
help you:)
I have never
prayed some much in my life as I have this week! Mostly because here at the MTC
we pray for everything, before we use the gym to exercise, breakfast, lunch and
dinner, before starting class, or a fireside, before we start to practice
teaching, before we do companionship study, before we do personal study, before
we leave our room for the day, before we go to bed. I love it! The spirit is so
strong here because of it, it is so exciting to see everyone so happy and working
so hard!
I love my district so so
much! We have only known each other for a week, but it feels like we are
family. It was hard yesterday though because one of our elders was sent home.
Even though I only knew him for a few days I was so close to him. We would
always make each other laugh and helped each other with the language! Our
branch president told us it was a blessing he came here for the short time he
did because it gave him the courage to go to a priesthood leader and start the
repentence process. And the elder said that he is going to go on his mission
again, only when he does he will by truly ready. Even though I felt like a
member of our family was gone and there was a hole in my heart, I am so proud
of that elder and I am so grateful for the savior and the healing that he has
given to us through his atonement.
Oh my goodness I have to
tell you about my first morning last Thursday! It was awful, I accidently set
my alarm for five in the morning instead of six, darn those face clocks. My
alarm is so loud it woke up all of the five other girls in my room! I felt
soooooo bad! Thank goodness everyone is so forgiving here!:)
My companion and I are
getting a long pretty well. We are not as thick as thieves, but we are
functional together! I think as time grows on and as I pray for more love for
her we will be great chums! I am glad she is my comp though because she is miss
workout! She gets up at five thirty and does like 100 push ups and sit ups and
lunges. So I have been getting up too and doing it too...well not 100;) Plus
when we go to lunch she eats so healthy, so I copy her:). I have been depriving
myself of BYU chocolate milk, but I know it will be worth it!:)jk
I only have like three
minutes left on the computer:( I want to write so much more! I will write you a
letter too! I got you and dad birthday presents!
I love you with all of
my gradually becoming healthy heart! I miss you lots! I am so happy you are my
mamma!
Tell dad I love him so
much and I pray for him everytime I pray, which as you see is a lot!
Love you! HAPPY
THANKSGIVING!!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!
Love,
Sorella Comollo
