There is nowhere i would rather be..

Than here in Italy.. a year ago. A WHOLE YEAR AGO!!, i recieved my call to serve the Lord. Though it came by complete surprise, i know with my whole heart that, that was the very direct and specific answer to my prayers. I needed to go and serve.. and here i am in the best mission in the world, and i would never change a thing that got me here. The love i have for this gospel, for life itself, and for all of you literally grows daily as well as my testimony of this gospel. We dont always know the plan but luckily He does.. We just need to listen, and follow along... 

I just had to point out that little fact of a whole year is GONE already, but now it is story time. I know Heavenly Father answers ALL prayers, even the small ones. Last week we may have asked Heavenly Father to help us find a briocche... i have a slight obbsession with briocche.. and with how many prayers we say a day, we have to thank Him for even the small things and ask for help for the small things... So long story short, we never found one tell one day we are walking along in this little neighborhood and we see this creepy factory.. We want to know what it is and if we can go in so we decide to wait for a minute and see if anyone comes in or out... Next thing i know this little old woman comes out with two big brown bags.. I walk up to her..her probably thinking im some creep and ask her what the place is. She says... a pasticceria... for those of you who dont know, thats where to get a briocche!... The next thing that comes out of her mouth is... do you want a briocche.. and she than proceeds to give us each one and then hobbles off down the road. He answered our prayer! Maybe not in that moment, but alas!! It was answered and the Briocche was found.. and it was the best i have yet to have in Italy.. Moral is, even the small things we can ask Him for. He is just waiting to bless and answer us!

Second story... we are walking down the road and we found a baby bird who fell out of his nest... I start ranting that we have to save the bird!! And the question came to mind.... what would Jesus do... HE WOULD SAVE THE BIRD!!! ... well we had to run to an appt,, so we had to go.. The whole time im telling SOrella Jones that he is going to get eaten by a cat.. We end up walking back that way because our lady didnt show, and what do you know! A cat is trying to eat the baby!! So next,... picture this, you see a crazy Sorella running down the sidewalk to throw something at the cat! Thats when we realize that there are not one, but two baby birds!! So the most briliant, but she probably said it jokingly.. idea comes from Sorella Jones..Lets make a nest.. So what did we do.. We made a nest. I hearded the two babies together and than we made a nest in a tree and put them in there safe together.. We saved Gods creatures!! 

and last but not least very shortly... We are on the tram home and Sorella Jones and i were talking and then we see the Anziani.. We talk to them and this lady just keeps looking at me.. She then says who are you. I explain, and she says... cool. Take my number..MIRACLE!! 

Well those are the adventures for the week. I apologize for the english.. i cant spell anymore.. I just love being a missionary. I am here for one reason, and that is to accomplish the will of Heavenly Father.. and His will for me now is to serve His children and find the ones He has prepared here in Italy... and i know with my whole heart this is where i am supposed to be.

Vi voglio un sacco bene!!  

LOVE Sorella Woods
