Rule 160: IF YOU AREN'T CHANGING, YOU AREN'T GROWING!

We got transfer news on Saturday. Sorella Hogan is going to Busto Arsizio and I am staying in Bologna and training a new missionary.  I am sad Sorella Hogan is leaving!  She was a GREAT companion, I am going to miss her singing opera music to me all the time!   :)

We also had our scambio (exchanges) this past week. I was with a new missionary named Sorella Marostica. It was so great to work with her. Of course, as most scambios go, all of our appointments cancelled. So, we did a lot of finding work. It was one of my favorite finding days because we talked to so many different people. We talked to people from Poland, Hungary, Turkey, California, Romania, Spain, Nigeria, OVUNQUE! I don't know how that happened, but it was really fun! And only the Americans had ever heard of the Church before. A lot people think we are Amish... working on changing that!

We met a cool woman on the train from America but lives here now. Sorella Marostica had an English Book of Mormon (which was a miracle!) so we were able to give it to her! She asked why Catholics have not adopted the Book of Mormon yet... :)

The theme for the past week has been "change"! If you aren't changing, you aren't growing. If you feel comfortable where you are at then you aren't stretching yourself. That is what repentance is, a continual change of heart towards God.  Remember to keep changing for the good!

Love you all!
