HO COMPIUTO 21 ANNI!!
mamma mia i cant believe i have
21 years haha. its really crazy!! so much has happened this past year,
in tanto age is just a number, the importance is how you act. you need
to take the experience you have growing up and everyday and use it to
better your life. but i im so excited, growing up i would expect to be
here in italy for my 21st birthday haha. im so blessed to be here!! but i
have been so busy! man what a week!
okay
so for Thanksgiving (il giorno di ringraziamento) we had a little party!
it was really awesome!! especially since i planned the whole thing in
two days haha. and i made a Pumpkin Pie! it was like the one that moms
know how to make, but being in italia and having to do everything by
scratch i think i did really good. except the crust was really
salty...but everyone was very nice and said it was good anyway haha. i
guess there's always christmas!!
we have been so busy lately its insane!! the last few weeks of the transfer have been flying! we found out this sat.
if im going to get transferred....its a bittersweet. i really want to
see a new city! but i have build such strong relationships with everyone
here its going to be really sad to leave. but i know God has a plan for
me, and i know im need somewhere else in italy to help continue
bringing souls unto christ. but who knows, i could stay here haha.
so
i probably havent told you guys but im the second counselor in the branch
here, we dont have enough people for another counselor, and because im
older as a missionary and in age i have been second counselor. but last
sunday was the first time i had to sit up at the podium haha, it was
really weird lol.
cool thing, we had a scambio
this week, i was with Anz. Giles, and he taught me how to read and play
the piano....of course its going to take a lot of practice...but i have
the basics down and i can practice, so hopefully in 6 months when i get
home i can play something...im also practicing my singing so i can stop
sounding like a dying horse haha. hopefully i improve lol. then last
night we had inglish class! it was really fun!
so
i have made almost everyones dream when they come to italy, beside
coming to italy, i have made good friends with 2 pizza places! haha,
they are so awesome! im going to miss them! haha im so thankful we live
in a world with Facebook haha, we can always have contact with our
friends from the mission(:
i love being a
missionary! i couldnt picture myself anywhere else in the world! i love
being a representative of Jesus Christ, i love wearing his name on my
chest everyday, and being called Anziano Orso haha. this past year a
half has been so crazy, and i have grown and changed a lot! its really
insane! and now im 21!! when did that happen, i feel like i just
graduated high school haha. life goes way to fast to just be lazy and
throw it away, we need to live life to the fullest and do the best we
can grow spiritually and mentally, im grateful for my savior and his
sacrifice. and im grateful for my heavenly father who cares so much
about us, we just need to open our eyes and look at all the blessing he
gives us. :) grazie a tutti, thanks to everyone for all that you do for
me! thanks for the prayers and birthday wished!! i want a sack of good
for your all!! ciao!!
