Week 5

Hello Lovlies!

I am so happy that everyone is doing well, I just love you all! The scambio went so well! It was so fun and great to learn how other missionaries do things. Sorella Giordano is so funny! I loved the fact that I was forced to speak Italian and their was no alternative to speak in English, I feel like just from that one day I am improving. We had Zone Conference on Friday, that was so great too! It felt like I was in the MTC again, just sorrounded by other missionaries with great talks and the feeling of getting slapped in the face, but loving it;) jk, it was not like that:) Our Mission Pres is so sweet, he told a story about how his tooth fell out and how he had to wait for a while to save up money to get a crown and how the whole time his tongue was always probing the spot where the tooth was missing. He likened it unto us:) How when we have 27 other great teeth, when we have a bunch of positive things happening in our lives, but if we always focus on the negative we cannot see the great things we have. I thought it was a cute analogy.

I did not get your package yet Rosie:( I did get your letter and another one from Olga. My Comp said that usually packages take longer to get to you, so I hope to get it this week. You are so sweet:)

So our investigator Giuseppe is doing well, we saw him and his daughters last night. The daughters like us more and are participating more in the lessons, but his wife did not come and she probably will not again, unfortunately. He saw my conference ensign the other day and asked to have it and now he is almost finished reading all of the talks. He says he loves it! He says that he is so happy when we reads the Book of Mormon and the talks and is always full of Questions. It is so great! We saw some other miracles this week! We were doing finding all day and we had faith that we would find one new investigator, well on the last street we were going to do a lady let us in and we found our new investigator! She told us that she saw missionaries singing one day in the square around Christmas time and felt so happy about the words that they sang and she wanted to know who they were, but did not ask. So she was excited to meet with us! I am so excited, it truly was a miracle because in Mistretta it seems like every door has been knocked every year for twenty years and nobody has interest. Oh yeah, wonderful things are happing:) 

We are in Palermo today for our prep day. It reminds me of Torino, being in a big city, oh joy the smell of cigarette smoke:)

Well, I hope you all have a wonderful week! Happy Leap Year!

Love you tons!

Love,

Sorella Comollo
