Transfer news: My trainer and I are both staying in Rimini !!! It is
very unusual for a trainer and their greenie to stay together more
than 2 transfers, but we're excited to continue the work here and help
the 2 new Anziani that will be coming into the city! (We are getting 4
new Anziani total in our district, so we will be helping them learn
the area.)

Interesting facts:
Most Italians we meet either think we're the Amish or nuns
Rimini (my city right now) was mentioned during Priesthood session of
general conference last weekend
When Italians are trying to tell you how to spell something, they just
keep saying the word over and over until you get it :)

Well, I have been sick for exactly one week now and it is driving both
me and my companion crazy. So that's that.

Sofia is going to bologna for college :( We're so sad that we won't
get to see her as often, but we keep in touch and we will hopefully
get to see her on the weekends. :) She is like my best friend.

Denise was baptized on Friday and it was so wonderful! She (and her
dad) were beaming the whole time and everyone in the ward was so
excited for her. We love her and we're so happy for her. She used to
be super shy, but she's opened up and she plays with us at family
night.

We had a family home evening with a few families from church Monday
night and we were taking brownies there, but we were doing a pass by
on the way there and so we hid the brownies in the bushes and 2 ladies
saw us... also while we were walking there, I named every cat I saw (6
cats. Midnight, smokey, cloud, leopard, snowball, and cow).

My companion tried to come up with a comeback but instead just yelled
"YOU'RE IN FATTI" (you're in fact).

A lady chased us down the stairs and threw our pamphlet at us.

Women's Conference highlights for me:

"God will invite, persuade. God will reach out tirelessly with love
and inspiration and encouragement. But God will never compel--that
would undermine His great plan for our eternal growth."

“We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum
happiness, peace, and contentment, may we choose a positive attitude.”

And we recognize “that regardless of perceived differences, all of us
are in need of the same infinite Atonement.”

"The scriptures teach us that through faith the worlds were framed,
waters were parted, dead were raised, and rivers and mountains were
moved from their course."

"Faith is a strong conviction about something we believe--a conviction
so strong that it moves us to do things that we otherwise might not
do."

So con tutto il mio cuore che abbiamo un padre in cielo che ci ama
tantissimo. Lui ha un piano di gioia duratura per ognuno di noi. Sono
grato per quello piano. Sapere che non siete solo. Dio vi ama e
anch'io.

Vi voglio bene,
Sorella Meager
