The Rains came down and the floods came up!

Okay so this week has been great! Pescara flooded over. Seriously two feet of water was everything! I had to practically swim to get to English course and then we spent some time cleaning up member's houses this week. And now I'm a bit sick. But after what happened in the Philippians...I'm not going to complain at all!

 This week I went to Rome, again! But this time to do Exchanges with the lovely sisters in Roma 5 and that was a lot of fun.

Also, the famiglia Dintino is making great process, they all came to Institute and and loved what the bishop said about the BOM and now they're reading it more.
 
Also, guess what. I sang in church yesterday with the three other sisters. Who knew I could sing? Wow do missions change you. Okay I can't tell you how great the ward is here in Pescara! Yesterday in church all the talks were on missionary work; the second counselor talked about how the members need to do more work and they are seriously working on it. Everyone is stepping up and trying their best to expand this ward in Pescara. The Bishop here is incredible, I'm pretty sure that every night this week he has a dinner set up with investigators, meno attivi, or part member families. A few months ago we visited with this excommunicated sister and her companion and we weren't able to get them to come to church. But suddenly the bishop went to work and got them both to come to church yesterday! What a difference it makes when the ward is involve. I feel so lucky to be in the ward.
 
So this week I got the cutest little envelope filled with letters from our extended family so tell them all thanks for that!! I haven't got your Dear Elder package, I'm surprised you sent me another one haha! Well I'm sure I'll love it when it arrives...or don't send me packages and just send me money. Because guess what? I can buy yummy gelato and cute Italian jackets with that :). Yeah I didn't get to see Cheree, but my city and area is really big...
 
Oh poor dad! Is he going to be healed soon or what needs to be done? I will certainly pray for him. Ah wow I can't believe Becca's baby is almost here! Send me a MILLION and one photos.
Best Pizza Ever---Sorry Dad...
