Well, transfers are this week....I'm leaving Vicenza. Im really sad. Sorella Richards and I are splitting up, too. I really love her a lot and I am so glad I had this time with her. I know we're going to be friends after this.
That's not the big news though....President called me on Saturday and told me that I'm going to be training a new missionary. I'M TRAINING! I am so shocked and surprised. I am really nervous and sooo so so excited. I think it'll be such a great opportunity for me. It'll help me stay focused and keep me on my toes. WOOHOO!
Well, that's pretty much all of the news I have for this week really.
Its been the longest 5 days of my life. We said goodbye to everyone we visit and it was just amazing...too many tears though! I guess another thing is that they are taking sisters out of Vicenza...so this will now be the second time I leave a city and they take sisters out and the third time they close my coppia. Not really sure how to think or feel about that, so I'm not thinking or feeling too much...ha ha! Heavenly Father knows what he is doing!!! MENO MALE! I trust Him.
Im really sad that Sorella Richards and I are splitting, but I think we've built a really solid friendship and we'll be friends after the mission, too. Not to worry! :)

Thank you so much to everyone for all of the pictures and emails. I had 40 emails when I opened my box today!!! WOW! Ha ha. Mostly pictures...WHICH IS AWESOME. You have no idea how special a picture is here. Thank you! Thank you for updating me on future plans and family events. I really love hearing about all of this stuff.
Tanney, I am so amazed at all of the wonderful things you are planning. It sounds like a lovely day. ;) You are doing amazing things. You set such a wonderful example to me and everyone around you. You are teaching me so much about diligence and hard work.
Eva, you are such a great teacher and leader....you're really growing a lot. I am thoroughly and pleasantly not surprised :) You're just amazing. Recognize your Worth!!! You are going to be a great missionary...WOW!
Mommy, how do you feel now that school is over?? Are you getting enough time to relax? Thank you so much for all of your support. I love PDay because your emails Always uplift me and make me feel so good about who I am and what I'm doing....and how far I've come.

Mommy, I think your World Languages idea is awesome. Is there any way we could figure something out to where I could start with online classes that can transfer to SVU?? I want to still follow the law school thing for now, and work towards something like Social Services. But, I want to do languages, too. WHY NOT??? GREAT IDEA. 10 points to MOMMY!
Well I have 3 months left. I hope when I count down you don't think its because I'm jumping out of my skin to come home. To me, its more of a way to track progress....to tell myself I can do this. Ebeneezers, no? 15 months down! WOW! I never would've guessed, EVER, that I could have made it here...Just think...2 years ago, I was going in a completely different direction...sort of. I certainly wasn't preparing properly...now look at me! Can't you see the bags under my eyes, IM OLD! Ha ha, I'm an old missionary, and I couldn't be more proud...except pride is a sin ;) :) Just know that I am doing great! I am happy. I am loving Italy!
I am so happy and so committed to being here. We have already had 7 lessons this week and we'll have 2 more today. Still working hard. And I'm going to be working even harder. This last few months and these transfers with the new sorella are going to be full of miracles and change. Get ready for some great stories!!
I love you all with my whole heart.
I pray for you every night
BE GOOD!!!!
