Week 80/81/82 (Busto Arsizio) Quarantine Life


 

Well fam, still going strong with the quarantine life. Actually couldn't tell you the number of days we've been inside. Probably around 39 or 40 days. We were told last week that it was pretty definite that we are staying and holding out so that kinda helped me. Just not worrying about if I'm going home or not. I've been able to just settle into my schedule and hunker in. It's for sure hard. Some days are harder than others but there are good ones as well. So two weeks ago the new transfer technically started. Anziano Giacalone and I stayed together because we cant really do transfers at the moment but we did receive another Anziano.  Some missionaries went home and so they had to move there comps around so we got one of them. His name is Anziano Barnes and he is pretty cool.  So we are all just chilling in our nice house. He was serving in Alessandria so he still works with his simps and members from there. But it's been kinda nice being in three during this. We can play card games now lol. 

As far as the work goes, we have trying to keep in touch with our simps and members. Mimmo has been hanging in there. He was working for awhile during the quarantine but he has been off the last 3 weeks. But we give him scriptures to read and have phone calls with him every once and a while.  So he is doing good. We have had a few video lessons with Laura and she is doing good too. She is still reading and praying so that's awesome. There is this other girl named Antonietta, and I don't think I've mentioned her yet. We haven't had a lesson with her but we ran into her on the street like my 3rd day in Busto. But we haven't heard from her in awhile. And she randomly texted us yesterday telling us that she got a new number. No wonder she wasn't responding to us! But she said she was doing good and that she has almost finished the Book of Mormon! So that's awesome! With the members we have been trying to reach out to one everyday and they have been good about calling us and making sure we are doing good and have all the necessities.  

All in all I'm doing good. I really really appreciate the emails that some of you have sent me! I'm sorry I haven't responded. I know that I technically have so much time to respond 😬 Just know I love you all and appreciate all you guys do. 

Also some crazy news. Tomorrow I have 5 months left! How insane is that!! Gonna try my best to finish strong even with the circumstances right now! 

Well seeing as General Conference is this weekend!! Just wanted to extend the invite to really lock in this week. I think it's always cool to go into conference with a question so I invite you guys to do that to. This conference is gonna be absolutely amazing. I'm so excited! 
  
Vi voglio bene!!
