Ciao tutti!!
So much to tell. Transfers happened, and Slla. Hoffman left me. My new companion's name is Sorella Ringo! She is from Indiana and plays the oboe. She is ready to learn and is very loving. Being a trainer is tiring, but honestly, I really like it. I like making the calls and helping Sorella Ringo with her Italian. I like having to converse with the members and others because I am the one who knows more Italian. I can already tell the Lord is helping me so much, because I am able to converse with people at a level so much higher than I was even a week ago. My trainer, Slla. Hoffman, prepared me very well
☺ and the gift of tongues is sooo real. So they apparently call some type of Oreo-like cookie here a "ringo," so any time Slla. Ringo introduces herself to someone new, they always say, "Oh, like the cookie!"
For some reason we have had an odd number of strange old people give us candy this week. One time I helped this lady pick up her groceries when she accidentally dropped them. Then she thanked me and pulled out some candy and gave it to us. It was pretty good haha. Then today Slla. Ringo and I were at the post office and this old man asked if he could go in front of us because he was in a hurry. I said yes sure go ahead, then once he finished, he walked over to us and slipped a piece of candy in my hand
😂 Sadly it was coffee flavored, so maybe I'll just keep it as a souvenir haha. This week there were a few cool things that happened. Friday night, we went English class finding in Centro. We have done this a few times in the past but we pass out hundreds of flyers and no one new comes to our English class. This time we got out a white board and walked around with it so we could draw more attention to ourselves. A woman came up to us and wants us to come over to her house and help her with her English, and she even said she was willing to listen to what we do as missionaries. She gave us her number, and I am super excited to see what comes of it. Also on Sunday night we were invited to go to an FHE with a couple of members, and they unexpectedly invited their non-member friend, and that non-member friend agreed to meet with us again in a week! I am so excited!
“You need to know that the Lord hasn’t called you because of anything you have done. In your case, it is probably in spite of what you have done. The Lord has called you for what He needs to do through you, and that will happen only if you do it His way.” -Dale G. Renlund's brother
I am attaching a couple pictures of me and Slla. Ringo on the day I picked her up in Milano, a picture of a pretty church that is on our walk to a member's house, and a (blurry-- sorry, I cannot take a tablet selfie with one hand) picture of me and Slla. Ringo when she got her first gelato!!
😀Vi voglio un sacco di bene! Ciao ciao,
Sorella Johnson
