Thank you so much for all of your emails and all of the nice things you said-
I had a good birthday
Thursday we had a July 3rd, 4th of July BBQ ha ha. All of the military people had off on the 4th so we did it a day early
Friday we had to buy new bikes because the other got stolen. But that was like a birthday present even though I wont be keeping it ha ha-
Saturday our Ward Mission Leader in the military ward and his wife to us out to SUSHI! and gelato. It was so fun.-
Sunday the Elders made us all lunch and then the Christensens (Maribel & David's) family made us dinner and a cake. They put my head in the cake ah ah. I'll send pictures.
It was just a good week. I feel good and I am happy that Heavenly Father has given us this life to live and the opportunity to serve in Italy for this 1 year of my life.

I'm trying to work on re-consecrating myself and really giving all that I can...even if its little compared to what I could have done before. I want to give my all and I plan on coming home feeling peace about leaving the mission field. I'm going to do it.
I am so glad you had a good time at Palmyra and I am really excited to hear about the Ramadan thing you went to. You didn't send pictures! Send some pictures! Ha ha.
Well, my companion is really helping me. We exercise a lot and we eat really well. I am exercising! WAHOO! Like almost every day. I feel good.-more tired, but good. She is so conscientious ...how do you spell that??? of being healthy and its nice. I'm not so committed yet but I'm doing well.
Did you know that trans fat is a fat that stays in your body and its harder to lose because its modified to have a long shelf life...peanut butter has trans fat. cookie mix has trans-fat. Stuff like that. We're trying to avoid that stuff. Anyway, I'm getting healthier and she is an answer to prayers. I prayed to find a way to create a healthy lifestyle now so that I could keep it up when I go home and I got Sorella Richards! Perfect no?
Anyway. Its been a great week. We have like 1 investigator who has decided to quit smoking and come to church. Doesn't want to commit to baptism but she quit smoking! 5 days now! WAHOO!
Other than that, we don't have any real investigators but we found a girl yesterday who was so sweet and seemed really interested.

Allora (thats an italian word for ''and now'' more or less. it means a million things to be honest), just wanted to say thank you for your fast and your prayers. They are working! I'm not perfectly healed...but I'd say pretty dang close. You are helping me get through and together we are doing this!
I love you all with my whole soul. I can't believe you are my family. How blessed am I? I love you and cherish you. Thank you. Thank you- thank you.
Be good. Keep emailing me. and send pictures!!!
Love you
Sorella Carlock
