Aloha famiglia!!
This week was... rewarding :)

| My "first companion" in the mission field: Sorella Waddoups!! |
Me and my new/old comp are doing WORK. It is going well. We
are starting to work a lot with some less active members to help them regain
their faith and come back and make this branch into the awesome ward that it
needs to be. So far so good. I think we just need about 5 more Priesthood
holders to be a ward! We got this!!!

| Zone Conference - May 20, 2014 |
This week's letter will be a little short (do I say that
every week? I think so...). But there are miracles happening out here. We had a
movie night on Saturday night for everyone we know and are working with. It was
quite the success! There were about 11 investigators there...!!!!! So awesome.
Pietro came!!! He is this awesome guy we are working with, well he and his
wife. We were supposed to have a lesson with them Saturday but then Paola, the
wife, got sick, but then Pietro said he was coming to the movie night anyway!!!
We showed the Testaments, the one about the Book of Mormon, and he just loved
it, along with everyone else that came. They all want to see it again!! And it
was really cool because most of them are just starting to read the Book of
Mormon and get into it, so it was cool for them to get to see some of it (and
the most important parts) in action. What a great night that was.

| Sorella Mistura - my first companion when I got to Pescara :) This is the last transfer of Sorella Mistura :(. She is going home soon! |
So at Zone Conference we talked a lot about family history
and how to use it as a finding tool. I decided to print off some family pics
that I have, including one of my Great Gramma Maree, to tape onto the outside
of my planner so that on the bus and stuff I can use it to start conversations.
Italians LOVE Texas and anything to do with it, especially cowboys, and the
picture of her is when she is in her cowgirl get-up. They just love it. She is
so cool! And she is still doing missionary work, so many years after she's been
gone. She is so cool. I bet she'd be happy to help me out! :)
Wellzzzzz, that's about all I got for today, plus I want to
go play Foosball (how do you spell that??). I love all of you so much!! Look
for awesome opportunities to use family history to share the gospel this week!!
You are all so great!!
Love,
Sorella Patterson
