And they said we'll never get baptisms in Italy

but they were wrong! 28 lessons taught in one week by us three.. At least one new investigator a day, and two new baptism dates. I am amazed by the blessings that we are reciving here!!! Sanremo is literally exploding with missionary work.. We went over to a members house on Sunday after church and we recieved 7 refferals.. They love doing missionary work and i love them for it!! What i have really been wanting to learn, and am actually noticing that i am learning is being guided by the spirit. It is different than feeling the spirit, and having it with you, but actually being guided on where to go and who to talk to. It is amazing what happens when i listen to those thoughts in my head about who to talk to and what street to take... Once i was the one that had the responsibilty of being the one who knows the city and the people, i really had to start relying on Heavenly Father...because i didnt have my trainer who did everything with me anymore. It has really let me grow in ways that i havent yet here. I keep thinking that there is still so much that i want to do and change about myself, and than i read about patience this morning. Usually i associate patience with having to have it with others, or in a situation, but i dont usually apply it to myself and my personal progression. That was a little bit of a humble slap to the face this morning. I cant change over night. But through the atonement i can change and become who i need to be! Its great! Its like getting a kids meal and thats the magic prize inside! So obviously three girls walking around in weird clothes is different as it is, but than when people realize we are foreign, they start to talk about us thinking we cant understand Italian...usually it consists of creepy groups of men.. but that is when Gillette turns around and hands them a pass along card and we start talking to them... than they realize that the crude comments they were making were all understood, and than they feel as stupid as they should feel... Gotta love it.. We have been sick this week, but we are still getting the work done..It is not my favortie walking around trying to speak Italian when my voice is gone, but hey, im trying! Thats all that is asked!! The Italians just keep saying what did you say ??? And since Gillette is sick too, Van Alfen takes control of the situation. Good thing we are in three... like the three nephites!...that may be pusing it but... We conquer Sanremo. HUZZAH!

Love Sorella WOods!

chillin in three is the best. (:
