Biggest news: I have another
companion now! We are in a trio here in Modena! It was kinda crazy getting
everything ready for her because we don't have three of anything but it'll all
work out. Plus she is only here for three weeks. Her name is Sorella Yonk and I
love her already! Her companion went home today so we went to Bologna and
picked her up. She is super fun and I
think the three of us are going to work well together these three weeks. The
best part about the situation is that we get to go work in Bologna one day a
week! Bologna is Sorella Yonk's city and President wants us to keep up the work
there. I am excited to see some of the people I worked with in Bologna again!
AND I will get to see Jenny and Loredana get baptized! What a tender mercy of
the Lord. I couldn't be happier. It is so incredible how the Lord works. If I
had any doubts of why I am here in Modena they are gone. The Lord is giving me
such a huge blessing and I'm at a loss for words.
But other things
happened this week too: On Thursday and
Friday we had a scambio with the Milano Sorelle! I
went to Milano with
Sorella Burt! And Sorella Hibo was going to come to Modena to work with Sorella
Besco, but after some train confusion they ended up going to Milano too. Milano
is huge though so it can handle a few extra Sorelle. It was so fun to be in
such a huge city, there were so many people! Haha I'm used to our quaint little
Modena. It was a
great scambio. We spent
most of our time doing finding work. We are really trying to find more people
to teach here in Modena so it was great to get some practice. I learned a lot
from Sorella Burt. She is just so positive and confident. I loved spending a
day with her.
On Saturday we went to
Gianni and Patrizia's house! It was the first time any missionaries ever
visited them at the house because it's kind of far. They live in the mountains
and it was gorgeous! Patrizia is also a really great artist so her house is
covered with little murals she painted on the walls. Gianni and Patrizia are
doing wonderful since their baptism. They are just so faithful and constant.
The spirit is constantly with them because they are constantly trying to
do the right thing.
Church on Sunday was
wonderful! I just love fast Sundays. I love hearing the testimonies of the
wonderful members here. This Ward is so amazing and I'm sad we will have to
miss some Sunday's here to go to Bologna's ward. But I know everything will
work out. This week has been quite on the crazy side but I am just so thankful
that we have a Heavenly
Father who has a plan for each and every one of us. We have no need to doubt.
We have no need to fear or stress. He is always there.
I love these words from
Mormon 9:
27 O then despise not,
and wonder not, but hearken unto the words of the Lord, and ask the Father in
the name of Jesus for what things so ever ye shall stand in need. Doubt not,
but be believing, and begin as in times of old, and come unto the Lord with all
your heart, and work out your own salvation with fear and trembling before him.
28 Be wise in the days
of your probation; strip yourselves of all uncleanness; ask not, that ye may
consume it on your lusts, but ask with a firmness unshaken, that ye will yield
to no temptation, but that ye will serve the true and living God.
It's as simple as that
:) I pray that I will always be able to endure to the end. I know it is
possible for each one of us!
Love you all, thank you
for the letters,
Sorella Dani Hamblin
