Our Waters Back On!! And Pday in Trapani

So, in good news we got water back this morning. It only took the
plumber 5 hours and 2 trips to the plumber store to fix it but we have
it now and its better than it was before so that’s pretty cool! Also tell

the girls and Ian that I hope they have a blast at 5th grade camp! I’m

sure they will have so much fun, I just hope it doesn’t rain the whole

time but even if it does you just gotta make the best of it cuz either

way it will be fun! Also good luck on your race up in Traverse City!

I’m sure you will do great and I’ll be praying for you! Run your heart

out! Also thanks for all the inspirational quotes and stuff it really does

help! Everyone always needs a lil pick me up here and there.

 

So I guess I’ll update you on what I did this past week! So, last week for pday
we went to Trapani and visited the islands here. When we got there
we rented bikes and rode around the island. It was the most beautiful place
that I’ve ever seen! The water was blue as can be and it was incredible. Best bike
ride of my life. Other than that it’s really hot here so we get a lot
of Gelato. It makes me happy and cools me off so I’m not going to
complain. We also have been practicing for a dual ward choir that we
are going to be a part of at Stake Conference this week so that will be
exciting. I’m sure I won’t stink that bad. Other than that, we haven’t
really done anything super exciting. Today I bought a sick Palermo
soccer jersey with my name on the back and with matching shorts. It’s
actually really cool and I’m so pumped for that. It’s a pink and black
jersey. It’s their home jersey so you can look it up if you want but
its sooooo sick. I love it. Well I guess that’s it for the update this
week! Transfer calls are this Saturday so next week I’ll let you know
if I’m staying here in Bagheria or if I’m leaving. I hope I stay but I
guess we will see! Anyway, I love you all so much and hope you have a
great week! Ciao ciao

A Short Letter After a Long Skype

Ha-ha I’m glad that ya’ll liked the skype call. I don’t have a lot of
time this week so I’ll make it short! I love ya’ll a ton and hope you
have an awesome week! The water here did not come back on
(when we spoke with Zach on Saturday, his water had been out
since the previous Wednesday)  but I’ll let ya know what happens!
I want to get a new house. This week we are in Trapani and about
to go biking on some beautiful islands! I'll send some more pics
next week! Also the pictures are me with a Pepsi twist and a Ferrari
so I mean you could say it was a goood week! I love all of you so
much though! Ciao ciao

God Will Make Weak Things Strong

Okay so Michigan had an earthquake, that’s so cool. Like not even
kidding that’s like really sweet ha-ha I hope like everything is okay.
Those pictures you sent me are really cool! hahahaha I love my
friends. (referring to pictures of Zach's friends at Prom)Tristen in his
pink vest, he didn’t wear my pink tie I sent him (a gift for his birthday)
which is sad but I’ll send him a strongly worded email after I
write this one. Also your running game looks really strong! You don’t
even look THAT old in the picture :) love you mom hahahahahaha but I’m
glad you’re still working hard! Tell Meghan that she is crazy for
catching all those critters (frogs, snakes and fish). Such a weirdo.

On the more spiritual side of things I’m glad you like my scripture
that I chose.

Ether 12:27 And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness.
I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for
all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me,
and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them.

I use it a lot for spiritual thoughts but also I use it for myself almost every day.
All of us have our own weaknesses and struggles and trials. Most people
don’t understand but it doesn’t matter because God always understands us.
He understands who we are and what we need every moment of every day
and it’s important for us always remember that. We can literally do anything
with his help. A lot of people on the mission try and do stuff by themselves in
the sense that they don’t ask God to help them but there is no need to do that.
If you are having a rough day ask God to help you and He will. Idk I guess
that’s my thoughts on that.

I guess I don’t have a lot to say cuz i just talked to you on Wednesday
but I’ll see you on Saturday!! Love you tons mom and I hope you have
another great week!
