Sixty-five: July 30, 2014 Vicenza

I just love P-Days.  Do you know why? Because I get to write to you all!! This has been a great email session.  So many wonderful things!!!

Thank you so much, Mommy, for your constant help.  You are so diligent in getting things done...you're not one of those persons that say ''yeah yeah, we'll figure it out.''  You know I worry about these things and you take care of me.  Thank you soooooooo much. YOU'RE THE BOMB!

I am sooo sorry that you fell.  You're in a boot!!!?!?? Ouch.  Is it hard getting up and down the stairs and everything? Be careful!

What else have you figured out about our trip to Italy?  Any dates?  Did you book it already or are you still thinking about it?

I do want to go to Bern for the temple.  That has to be a part of it!  Honestly, I think we'll end it being in Italy for about 10 days. But please make time for attending the Bern Temple and seeing the Rome temple grounds....we can say we were there! :)

I am so happy to hear that wedding plans are moving forward!  I think its Amazing!!!  Im glad Dad can offer his expertise.  I think it'll be nice for everyone to at least say he had a part in it and that his touch made the evening nice. That'll be good.

----

THANK YOU SO MUCH for all of the research you did for online courses.  I wish I could express my thanks with a big, fat kiss...but I'll get to do that in time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I understand what you're saying about the BYUI online thing...its just a transition.  Ok, fine....but don't try to get me to actually go up there.  No way...uh uh! ;)

Once I go back to school in the Fall with Eva, I want to pursue the psychology & sociology & pre law route.  But for now, lets prepare for online school.  YAY!

I'm so glad that you are almost done with school, Mom.  It'll be nice to have a break!  Eva is a YCL??? Dang she is so old.  She's probably 6ft by now!

YANKEES!  Yay.  I bet you all had a great time-  did you take pictures???

Now here for the Lopo update.

Everything is going great here.  We are trying to work hard-  we have a bunch of referrals we need to contact and we have a lot to do!  Its so nice.  We are doing good things and we are seeing the blessings!

Sorella Richards and I have decided to speak practically only in Italian.  I want to speak only in Italian for the next 2 transfers and so we're starting now so we can be ready.

President switched up how he does transfer calls...we get the call Saturday now, so by next PDay we'll have already heard about transfers.  I really hope I stay with Sorella Richards for my last 2.  We are doing GREAT THINGS and we fit together so well.  We are a good team and I love her so much.

You won't believe this...but since she got here (5 wks ago), I have lost 10 lbs!!!  From working out and being healthy. IT WORKS! ha ha.  One of the elders here had an extra jump rope and he gave it to me....man, jumping rope is Amazing!  I love it!  I also have this elastic band from the MTC and these two things are incredibly useful.  Im doing it!  Im changing my life. all thanks to Sorella Richards and her motivation, example, and diligence.

We are doing really well here.  Our investigator Virginia, who has a baptismal date, reminds me of the Brother of Jared  when the Lord says, ''there has never been such great faith among all the children of men...and for these he could not be kept from seeing Beyond the veil''...summarization....but yeah!  SHE'S SOOOOOOO GREAT.  She has such faith.

We had to see her at 8am the other day and after our lesson with her, she stayed with us and we all did companion study together!  Amazing.  and soooo spiritual.  I want to be like this with all of investigators!

Well I think that's it.  I love your updates and hearing about what you all are doing.  It makes me feel more motivated.  We're doing great here, so it looks like we're all doing well except Mom's foot.  Sorry Mommy!

Keep doing good things...and like I used to say, NEVER GIVE UP! This has been the hardest and most rewarding time of my life.  I'm going to make it through, and its going to be amazing! :)

I know our Heavenly Father loves us.  He is more than just a God, but our Father who wants us to make Him a part of our lives.  I am reminded every day of the scripture ''consider the lillies''.  He has control and for that, we dont need to fear. I know that He is taking care of us and that brings me peace-

Behold, I am a disciple of Jesus Christ, the Son of God....Eccomi qua in missione!  Who would have thought that I, Me Zoe Jade Carlock, could get here? Well, Heavenly Father did, and I thank Him every day for His merciful plan for me.

Thank you for all of your love and support.  I am sooo grateful that I get to be with you 3 forever.  Thats something special.  I cant wait to hug you again....well I can wait....but its going to be great!

Until next week,

Sorella Carlock
