Hello Friends and Family!!
 |
| Me and Sara, the weirdest kids in town |
Okay I know I have been horrible at writing AND sending
pictures this transfer, but in my defense neither my companion nor I had a free
memory card, nor wanted to buy one, nor did we really have time for anything.
So it's been a good transfer, though somewhat pictureless. Succede.
However, this transfer went by WAY too fast, and the end is
bringing much change. I am leaving the perfect little island of Sardegna... and
headed back to Rome!! Haha, I can't believe it! The last thing I expected, but
what the Lord needs, so I am excited to go. I tried to get into Bitonto... but
I guess the Lord and President Waddoups probably know that's not the place for
me right now :)

Angelo), me, and Pietro, our investigator/best friend/dad |
I will REALLY miss this place. Sassari has been one of the
highlights of my life and mission and I can't even begin to explain what it is
like to say goodbye to these islanders, knowing I probs won't be back for quite
a while... (to-do list:start a return-to-Sardegna charity fund?) Vediamo. But I
know that the Lord was able to use me to do some good here, and for that I will
forever be grateful to Him. Also I am grateful because He let me come here and
meet these incredible members of the church and incredible people and to be a
teacher and a friend and a sister to them. He is so great. He is just
incredible. I love Him!!

I also really just love all of you. You are all so special
to me and I thank Heavenly Father quite often that I am blessed with friends
and family like you. I couldn't possibly do all that He needs me to do without
you. So thank you.
MARIA CILLA CAME TO CHURCH... AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I
think she is almost active again! I cannot believe it. I don't feel like we did
anything, but somehow our words and the Spirit are working in her and she is
coming to church and making plans to keep coming. That is just the best.

The one next to
me, Anziano Jones, goes home.
I can't believe it! He finished a great mission!

Well, remember how Angela moved to Olbia and I couldn't see
her anymore/teach her anymore? One of the best women in the world/one of my
favorite members is DRIVING ME OUT TO OLBIA to see her today to say goodbye!! I
cannot believe it. These people are the most selfless, caring, and amazing
people EVER. AND I GET TO SEE/TEACH ANGELA AGAIN!!!!!!!!
Well, this said member (Sorella Mastino) is arriving shortly
to pick us up, so I must be brief. But I think I said everything I wanted to...
I will include some fotos this week!! These are my best
friends and family besides you all. :)
