Ciao da ROMA!!!
Non ci credo che adesso abito a Roma!!! Ma è così.

| Saying goodbye to Lucia, Gioia and family, Pescara |
So much to tell you all!!! So, The day before we left
Pescara, it snowed!!! It was so beautiful!! We woke up to white all around!! It
was not super heavy, and it went away fast because of the rain, but it was
beautiful and a great surprise for my last day! Okay, leaving Pescara may have
been harder than leaving for the mission!! But also easier... It is weird. I
love those people so much. A piece of my heart will definitely always live in
Pescara and Chieti. That will never change. But the funny thing about the
mission is that the more that I give my love to these people, the more love I
tend to get, or the greater capacity I have to love more. So I am not losing
anything by saying goodbye to and leaving them; in fact, I now have more love
to give to others! I haven't taken math in school for a couple of years, so
someone else can figure out how that all works... I just know that it does :)
So, my new companion is Sorella Panchieri. She is from
Idaho, despite her Italian name... And I LOVE HER. Seriously. She is so fun and
so awesome and so dedicated to the Lord! She is incredible!! I have so much to
learn from her. This is going to be the funnest and best transfer yet!!! Today,
we are going to go see the Pantheon... !!!!! Oh yeah, so Rome is split into
four or five different sections. Our section includes The Coloseum, The
Pantheon, the Spanish Steps, The Trevi Fountain, and tons of other awesome
stuff!! Pdays are going to be the best!!!!! And, once a transfer, we can go to
the other sections of Rome and see other stuff. So we will definitely be seeing
the Vatican soon..... :)

| Okay, this is awesome. The Pacella Family had us over to say goodbye and we went through my family photo album and the twins Piero and Andrea saw the one of me, Mykle and Kyle at our last Mormon Prom and they wanted to re-enact it. It's the one under the arch and I'm in the red dress. I think we did pretty good! |
The ward here is a little different than Pescara, but I
already love these members. I can't wait to start serving them and loving them
and helping them invite their friends to learn about the restored gospel. This
transfer really will be awesome. One member already invited us over to paint
her house!! We are planning on taking some youth with us so that they get the
opportunity to serve and love like we get everyday. Also, we are planning lots
of caroling trips this transfer that will allow us to talk with tons of
people!! Christmas is the best!!!

Okay, well that's about it. Oh! So there are two other
sisters that live with us, Sorelle Pace and Furlanich. They are awesome. And so
fun. Seriously, I am so blessed to have been transfered here!! Missionary work
should be fun! Even the hard stuff can be fun!! And it will be :) Also, remember
Gianni? Hopefully he will still be baptized this saturday, and hopefully I can
go back for it... Pray that it is a yes!!!
Love you all with all of my extra self thanks to this
awesome Italian food!!
Sorella Patterson
