Come state?
Tutto bene?
I don't have much to say this week.
It's been going well. I'm still having some health issues, the same things but because I stopped daily taking care of it, it's kind of come back. So I'm taking my medicine! WOO HOO!
It's getting a lot colder here and its really been raining- It's not too bad though because of my coat and boots.

For the month of January, we met our goal for new investigators and we even set some baptismal dates.
We even set one with a woman who we have been teaching for quite a while, about 2 months.
We are really excited. Heavenly Father has really blessed us. I am excited for the success we can have in this next month.
BTW, we started setting goals on a monthly basis, so it's a little different when we are trying to set goals for baptisms or things like that. It's cool though. More organized I think.
Well....let's see.
We took some pictures of things, so I'll be sending those to you.
I am so excited for you to watch the Olympics! I love the Olympics. Enjoy them!

We have this investigator who is awesome. She is so in tune with everything. She loves the book of Mormon, she lives all of the laws, every night we call her and read & pray with her.
We are all excited about her upcoming baptism and we are hoping good things with come! She is great and I can't wait for her to experience the cleansing power of the Atonement through Baptism.
To kind of record all of my thoughts and inspirational quotes and mission memories, I started this journal...maybe I told you already- I really like it. I call it my Italy journal. Right now it only has missionary stuff, but I want to put cool Italian things in it to remember my missionary time.
I really want to remember everything. I have never been more happy, more sure of who I am, more pleased with life, and just close to Christ.
There are so many scriptures in the ..scriptures ha ha, where Christ simply says ''come unto me'', and I think that's my new mantra. It just starts and ends with Him. He is the way!

Eva your Italian is amazing. It is really good. I have no idea what the word spalare means, so you're already teaching me! Keep up the buon lavoro! :)

I hope everyone is well.
To kind of give me a big boost, I have been reading over past emails that you have all sent me that I have printed out.
I feel like I lost the missionary I was at the beginning, like I'm a good missionary now but I want to be the missionary that follows all of the good advice you have given me.
Like....I want to be 100% ya know? Then again, its not entirely possible and it takes time, and everyone would like to be 100%, 100% of the time, but its not that way.
Basically, is there any advice that you would give me to help me to give it all.
My goal is to leave it all behind and put all the cards on the table, diciamo (--let's say).
What worked for you?...other than coming unto Christ! ha ha I'm working on that more.

I have been seeing a lot of success here. In the work, in the changes I'm making, in progress with working with ward members..everything really. I am so happy. I love being here and I love the way that I feel as a missionary. It just feels good...take away all of the blessings, the work, the Spirit, the lessons, the prayers....it just plain feels good, right, fulfilling.
I am a disciple of Jesus Christ. I am not perfect- but I can be, in the nest life, through Him. I believe in Jesus Christ, but more importantly I believe Him, I believe what He has said. I know it is true. I know that I am never alone, ever. I know He loves each of us.
I know we are an eternal family. I can feel it, I can tell. We will be together forever.
We are going to take some good pictures today so you'll have some good stuff for next week. BE HAPPY! SMILE! DO GOOD THINGS! PRAY!
You are loved. You are listened to. You are never alone. You are mine. You are His.
I love you.-
