Dear Family,
Well, today is March 11, 2009. This means that I have been on the mission for 9 months! That's half-way! It is so crazy!!! I am half way through and Anziano Clove comes in! I am so excited to see him. My companion will be glad that he is finally here because for the past 3 transfers, I have been telling Sorella Glass that he is coming here! But guess what? Soon, she is not going to be my companion anymore. Transfer Calls were last night. One call from your zone leaders makes a huge difference in the life of a missionary. 10:30, no call yet. We turned the lights out and talked so that we would not fall asleep. 11:00, phone rings, it's the zone leaders. Turns out that I am getting transferred...to....Milano 1. So I am moving to the other side of the city. My new companion is Sorella Booth, we were in the MTC together, she is one transfer ahead of me, she is 26 or 27, and we have been praying that we would be companions, and now we are!!! Also, we did scambi together last transfer, and that was just a preview for this next transfer. So, I served in Genova for 2 transfers, Milano, I'm going on my 4th, but Milano 2, 3 transfers, and who knows for how long in Milano 1. oh yeah, milano 1 has a like a real chapel building. like in the states. i am so excited about that.
after being in the mission for awhile, and with sorella glass for the past 3 transfers, yesterday was the first day we got seperated. she got on the metro and there was no space for me, so i hopped off and tried to get on at another door, but i missed it and so she went to teh next stop while i hanged out at piola and ate m&m's adn then she came and got me. it was kind of weird but not as bad as i thought it would be.
yesterday we ran for our lives to catch a bus that ended up going way past where we wanted to go. it would have been shorteer to jsut keep on walking instead of taking the bus.
0n sunday, we were getting ready to leave the house, when the doctor called my companion. they talked for an hour about her life so taht he can figure out why she has headaches everyday. we missed our appointment. it was funny because as he is asking her when she gets stressed and stuff like that, she is stressing out right now because we are missing our appointment!!! it was quite the oxymoron.
we were at an appointemnt the other day, and one of the little girls, who is 8, says, 'Io voglio che DeVocht vada via,' which means, I want DeVocht to go away. i just laughed and more when we got home.
yesterday we did some service for a sister in our ward. she is from utah and is starting school on thursday so we offered to help her claen her house. it was so mych fun. he r 2 kids, isaiah and mike, who are, 7 and 6 years old. it was a lot of fun. mike is the cutest kid on the planet. he is so crazy. i wish you guys could know him, he is awesome.
well, i am packing all my stuff to take it to the other side of the city. i really am happy to stay in milano. who knows, maybe i will do scambi with my old companion.
milano rocks!!! i am so happy to be here yet again! its so cool!
well now i got to go. we aer going to hang out with the other sisters in milano.
until next time,
Sorella DeVocht
p.s. sorry for the horrible spelling. this keyboard is not the best and i can't spell in any language.
Peace out
Ciaodì
