ALOHA!!!
Why the island greeting?? This little Sister Missionary is
going to the Islands!!!! of Sardegna to be exact. An island none the less. When
President Waddoups called me to tell me about my transfer, he asked if I packed
my swimsuit... Well, no, I didn't but hopefully I won't fall out of the boat
and need it... Communque, I'm headed to Sardegna where instead of island
princesses and leis there will be sheep and more sheep. Haha, I literally can't
wait. Rome is amazing, but the sea is calling... Haha! Also, my trainer is out
there and a sister that I lived with in Pescara: Sorella Knudsen... who will be
my NEW COMP!!!!! Could a girl get any luckier?? Io vi dico: no.

Well, in other news, I will definitely be leaving this area
better than when i found it. My comp and I have built up the work and gotten
quite a few new investigators for her and her greenie (she will be training
here when I leave!!!!!) to start teaching. I am pretty excited for her. It is
going to be an awesome trasnfer for them! I will miss her a ton, and the
members here. Especially Martina and Gamal, the coolest, most solid new
converts the world has ever seen. We have all had 'visions' (I use that word
very loosely...) of Gamal being a future bishop. He is SO solid. And they
haven't even been members for a year. Crazy.
Today, we had a picnic for Pday with Martina and Gamal and
all the missionaries. It was awesome. I might be sunburned. :)

Also, this week, Michele and Dario had us over to help them
paint their house. The walls were white, and guess what color they chose to
paint? White. ..... Oh italians. Anyway, something happened and
suddenly there was paint all over the place, and people. Luckily I found
Dario's goggles from who knows how long ago... Haha, quite the time.

| More painting -- More oops! |
Also, forgot to tell you. Last week we went to hard rock
Rome!!! So cool. I took some pictures for the men in my family who appreciate
the oldies. I'll send them... some day... It was really cool though!
So, Andrea left this week for Thailand. I won't get to see
him again :( But we told him we might not be here when he got back... But it's
okay, my leaving has been a great opportunity to get people to see us that
usually can't. Funny how that works!
Well, that is about all. We have to go buy groceries still
and it's almost 5, so I love you all and hope you all have a great week! OH! We
had a fireside about the Rome temple this week! When will it be done you ask?
2015. Maybe. Ah, Italians :) How I love them... But really, I do. I will return
for the dedication, right mom? :)
Vi voglio tantissimo bene!! Salutations from Roma for the
last time!!!
Sorella Patterson
