PAVIA


Bergamo goodbyes




Pavia





Bye baby one..I love her alot

Talk about the most beautiful city.. i finally feel like im in Italy. And baby #2 is Sorella Burt. Frommmmm.... utah. Like most of us.  It has been crazy coming in and taking over someone elses city knowing nothing... Meno male that we have acutally helpful anziani who tell us stupid sisters where to go. Usually i feel somewhat compitent in what im doing, but this has been a humble kick to the face when i feel like im asking the anziani every day stupid questions.. I hate questions, and asking them is probably worse, but hey we got this. Things that have happened this week... 
The fridge broke the day we went shopping=wasted money and surviving on rice cakes, tortillas, and peanut butter (thanks mom and dad for that peanut butter... its being used very well)
Our apartment doesnt have lights.. so we use lamps, and two days ago the one light in the kitchen decided to stop working. We are going back to living in hut i feel like.. Actually it feels like my missed summer camping trip. My easy fix for the kitchen having no light, scotch and a flash light. I just taped it to the cupboard and it works nicely.
We had a mostra Saturday and passed out 2,000 flyers to our ward conference. Lots of no's, and a lot of success too. We got three new investigators that day and they all have big families! SCORE... We thank the good Lord!!. We actually have this giant cut out of Jesus that someone here painted for the mostra and we got to carry Him down the street to take Him back to the anzianis apartment.. I just kept laughing as i helped carry a giant Jesus down the middle of centro and everyone just kept saying Gesù, Gesù!! It is just one of those things that i never thought i would be doing, and none the less in Italy. Other then that we just keep talking, and talking and are trying to find our way around. This ward is amazing. I havent felt needed really since i left Sanremo, and i just cant say how grateful i am to be in a place where i can feel that again. They are just real people and so full of love for everyone. They have a desire to do the work with us and there is no better feeling then that. They do it out of the genuine love they have for others, and their genuine love for the gospel.. It is like that change of air that these Italians are always looking for. I love you all! Have a good week!
Love Sorella Woods
