Dearest
Family and Friends,
I have arrived in Firenze! We arrived Thursday and are already in love with
it. We spent the first few days trying to figure out the city and
find the church, etc. It is great. There
are 4 elders and 2 sisters and we're serving in a branch. We cover
about half of the city. There are 2 branches here. We are part of the
Firenze district, not big enough yet for a stake. We are starting
from ground zero and working our way up. It is crazy. I don't feel
ready for this. We are pretty much opening an area! We tract
ALLLLLLLL day!!!! Crazy. We live on Medaglie D'Oro, which is close to Via Delle Panche. We walk for now, but
are getting bikes soon. Our apartment is old but I actually LOVE it.
It has 2 rooms, a kitchen, bathroom and it has tons of personality.
The branch is incredible here! They welcomed us right in! We spend
the whole day walking around trying to talk to people and find
investigators. It is ROUGH. But SO beautiful at the same time. We can
only get better, right?! There is nothing like having a blank slate.
I
miss Bergamo a ton, but know that Florence is where I am supposed to
be. Maybe we don't know why we're here yet, but we know that there is
a reason. Every day is like an adventure. We are growing and learning
so much. By the way, my companion is Sorella Eaton from Rexburg, ID.
She is GREAT! I love her to pieces. She is a political science major
and really knows her stuff. She is small and talks like an Italian.
It is fabulous. She is such a good example to me. She smiles at
EVERYONE. Her confidence in the gospel is SO STRONG and nothing can
stop her. She is legit! We have fun talking together. She knows the
scriptures super well. Overall, I couldn't be happier! This is quite
the experience. I feel like I don't know what to say about it yet.
I'll let you know in a week how it is going. We're still figuring
this whole city/mission out. We feel new again. Ah the joys of
transfers. :)
LOVE IT! I hope to have more to say next week.
LOVE
YOU ALL!!
Sorella
