Cara famiglia,<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
It’s getting cold here in Rimini! I’d imagine it is at home too (not):) and HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANNA! I ate gelato to celabrate for you, I promise. \u00a0And I sent you something \u00a0in the mail so let me know when you get it.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Writing in English is getting more and more difficult. \u00a0I think in half English, half-Italian, I can’t pray in English anymore, but yet when I need to talk to people I can barely speak Italian \ud83d\ude42 It’s pretty confusing sometimes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This last week, not gonna lie, it was a rough one. But, we really are trying our best. \u00a0 We are trying to talk with everyone in our path, strenghthen our members to be better missionaries, etc. Just, sometimes, we don’t have any investigators and we just deal with it. \u00a0Correlation was a tough moment, when Emilio asked us if we had hope. \u00a0Maybe we seemed a little down trodden \ud83d\ude42 \u00a0We are trying so badly to have hope! We pray for hope every day, and we push, and push, and push ourselves. \u00a0And as long as what I am doing is good in the sight of God, I can’t compare myself to anyone.<\/div>\n
\u00a0We can work harder though, we can always work harder.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Domenica was a beautiful day, though. \u00a0 We had people in church, family members of members, and the spirit was beautiful. \u00a0We got to eat lunch with the Caramia famiglia. \u00a0They are such an inspiring family of missionaries. \u00a0He taught us so much. \u00a0He is the district president here and has such a great vision for missionary work here in Rimini and the surrounding areas. \u00a0 He shared many mission stories, scriptures and asked us to do a training for him with the district. \u00a0It was wonderful!<\/div>\n
I realized that as missionaries, we really do nothing. \u00a0Once we start thinking that we are the cause behind something, or that another missionary is the cause behind something, we wary. \u00a0Because it’s the Spirit.<\/div>\n
And, the more we ignore the promptings of the Spirit, the less the Spirit will guide us. \u00a0I can’t pray to be led to people to teach when when I’m walking down the street and I see someone that I feel like I should talk to, but I don’t, and then complain when I come home that we aren’t teaching anyone. \u00a0It doesn’t work like that!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This week, we went to the mall for P-day with Emilio and Illaria. \u00a0Can I just tell you? I am so happy to have a year and a half where I am separated from the world as much as I possibly can be. I don’t have to worry about all of these material things and be distracted by things that in the end really don’t bring us happiness. \u00a0Just a thought.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
We went and ate lunch at a Wild West restaurant. \u00a0I had a burger for the first time in 6 months. \u00a0It was almost as good as one from America \ud83d\ude42 The mexican food though… yeah, Italians can’t do mexican food. \u00a0And we can’t do Italian food \ud83d\ude42 I like food!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I love you all! Follow those promptings this week! Do your best, and love those who surround you.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Vi voglio bene,<\/div>\n
Sorella Strong<\/div>\n
