Well, today I am kinda crunched for time because we went to lake garda and the bus going back to Verona was later than we thought it would be. So I'll try to condense an amazing week into poche parole.
So yeah, this week was just so great! First of all, on Sunday we went Christmas caroling with out ward to a retirement home and it was SO FUN!!! Italians sure know how to party it up and celebrate Christmas. There was even a super cool acapella version of Jingle bell rock sung by a family in our ward who is basically thebomb.com, and it was SO GOOD!!! this ward is so musically talented. And then people started dancing around during all the songs and it was just one of those "I love being in Italy" moments. Espescially at Christmas time in this awesome ward in Verona!!!
The next day I had a scambio with Sorella Reni who is a new sister in the mission. We saw so many miracles and it was one of the best scambios I've had. She and Sorella Seare (my fellow violinist in the mission who also knows Jocelyn!!) came here to Verona, and we were able to have the entire day as opposed to just a limited amount of time which is unfortunately what tends to happen a lot on scambios. But anyway, later on in the evening we were out doing casa. We were getting towards the end when we knocked on this one door. A lady opened up and asked us if we had been out and about all day long doing this. We responded in the affirmative and then she said a missionary's favorite words: "Come in!" She made us herbal tea and set up a cute little table with biscotti, and we were able to talk to her and her son and have a beautiful lesson filled with the spirit. I'm so happy there are still people in the world who are openly generous care for everyone. She is true christian, and she's gonna get baptized!
I love you SO much!! Have a very merry Christmas and I can't wait to see and talk to you next week!!
Love,
Sorella Lyman
