Well, the end of the beginning!
Good news! I'm staying with Sorella Hoppe here in Milano! I'm really excited. We have been planning a really great finding activity...Ok ok, so we stole it from the District (the PMG missionary DVD!) It was such a good idea. We're having a beach party/ church tour! It's going to be awesome. We're doing it in August.
We started working as a ward and doing member splits to go visit the less-active families. It's awesome. Every Sunday, we go out and visit less-actives to see if they live there, are still interested in the church, and we help them as best as we can.
we have 3 new investigators! I might have already told you about one. She's amazing. The other two are from a family of less-actives...so it's a part-member family. They are great.
We have had a lot of meals this week. Pretty much all of our ward is from Peru, it's awesome. We've had the best food!! lomos saltado, arroz con pollo, ....other good stuff that has a name but I don't know it...it's just all good!
------
We got a new shower curtain! Woo hoo! It's clean and fresh and doesn't stick to me. Yay life!
The new missionaries arrived today!
5 sorelle
24 anziani!
Yeah that's all for that section...that I can think of.
Oh...my first transfer is almost up! That's pretty exciting.

So....my top retainer piece cracked. it's missing a chunk at the front by the back of my teeth...don't really know what to do about that.
Also!!! I found out...you don't have to pay customs when you use amazon.co.uk because it's already in Europe-so, if I need anything that I can't find here, maybe it would just be easier to send it from there.
---------
It's so humid here...it's gotten a lot warmer too. So some days its really uncomfortable, but it's ok because when we have lessons, normally there is air conditioning and some metros have AC too.
My feet are still swollen though. Not as bad or painful, but I'm trying a few different things. I'll figure it out.
----
I'm struggling a lot with my weaknesses. Some days I feel like an awful person. I don't feel sacred or sanctified. I really have to re-adjust my mind and focus on Jesus Christ. I feel like I was better at that before.
Please don't get me wrong. We're working. We're teaching and we feel the Spirit. I am happy. It's just difficult. I feel disconnected some of the time. I'm working on it. I really need to just give it all to the Lord. I'm figuring it out, I just feel like it's taking too long.
Mommy, I wouldn't trade this for the world. I wouldn't rather be anywhere else. I am here because I am supposed to be. I know that. I'm working on how I can be better and improve. I am so happy here. I love this life. I love these people. The food is an extra bonus! I love this Gospel. I just need to reconnect/connect a few disconnected pieces. I need a mighty change of heart. I love this..I love knowing what I need to change, because if I didn't then I would ALWAYS be the same...ugh how boring! This is right for me.
Also, you don't need to pay customs for post or letters, just packages. So if you did want to send anything, it would be $2 in postage, and it gets here fairly quickly, or so I've heard.
I'm so happy with all that is going on and all that you are accomplishing. Please keep going! Never give up! I know that you are being guided to the things that you need. Just keep swimming, just keep swimming.
I love you so much Mommy
We'll talk soon
Sorella Carlock
PS - I'm sorry about the weird undertone of this email, I'm really doing great I promise! I just want to change for the better!
