Hey Family,
Mom I sent off a letter to Brittany last Thursday, I hope it gets to her. I had wrote her a letter the other week but did not finish the letter so I had to wait until the following Thursday to send it off. Tell her I am sorry if she did not get one. I can write her another one if it does not make it to her. HAha Garth was funny, I did not realize that it was him in front of me until we were walking down the stairs in the gym for the Brigham city dedication. When I thought that I knew him I kept wanting to get his attention. I finally asked one of My anziani to tape his shoulder for me and we only bore our testimonies to him in Italian. But that is funny.
I got your packages, I love the watch and I think I was more excited for the carrying kit I love it. Mom I cannot believe I only have 5 days left I was sort of freaking out the other day. Of course in a good way, I just hope that I will be able to do everything that will be needed of me on the missions. So one of the sisters in our group came up to me and said that there have been no problems with the Italian visa and when I heard that I was so happy!! Because I did not know the other missions at least in Spain have been having to be switched to other missions, so God is truly blessing us with this right now. I saw them and I like them. I told you the dress looked good on you.
Mom, I have plenty of things, if I need anything I can go to the book store and buy some more. So our flight is going to be a day long. We got our travel plans the other day, that was so amazing. I am trying to think of what I can tell you about the MTC but I cannot think about anything right now. I probably will write you and tell you about everything later. Can you tell grandma thank you for the Cookies and brownies, my roommates and I have been eating them. Well I love you all and I hope that you all are doing well and I am glad to see all is well. I hope that Parker will feel better. And tell Conner I love him tons and Parker as well!!
Love

Last Week's email
Hey family,
Mom- i was going to send you out a card but my p-day got crazy and I had no time so here is your b-lated birthday wish, I am so sorry I did not send anything out to you, I love you lots.
Okay sweeeeet, Thanks and I am going to try and resend that email again, you will get it at least at one point. Yeah I said pictures and I am not sure why, but maybe I will just send you pictures home when I get out of the MTC. So guess what yesterday I got to be a host for the new missionaries, ahh it was so awesome. The new sister missionaries were so cute, I just love missionaries now. I guess your heart truly goes out for them now more then before because I am in their position. But anyways it was sad some of the sisters were crying, but I just tried to make them feel at home. I had two Spanish speaking girls I helped and one sister going to the Czech Republic (that would be tough). I still get up each day thinking how in the world can I be leaving for Italy, I have 11 days. OMG I cannot believe it. I am going to be teaching in italy :) I get all excited now because of how close it is.
We had an amazing speaker on Sunday His name was Watson missionary director of proselyting, he spoke about the book of mormon and about the play that is out and how they worked against it in new York to stop all the bad publicity. He said they bought space in time square, put up segno sul taxi cars e videos in the taxi cars e much more. He talked about how the book of mormon saved him. How he could not read until he read the book of mormon and it was just a good talk. On Sunday we had a talk from Sheri Dew omg she was just absolutely amazing. I love this woman. And the talk she gave was inspired.
My roommates left on Tuesday and we got a new set yesterday, they are going english speaking again but I already love them. And I miss my old ones but I know that they are out doing the service of God. My collega and are have been having very different lessons lately. We plan and then our lessons always take a different course so we never end up teaching the lesson we had planned, but trust me it is not a bad things. Oh so an amazing thing happened the other day, so one of our simpatizzanti pietro he never shows emotion and we finally got him to smile in the lesson. AHH I was so happy, I mean it was different and he seemed excited for once!!!
Oh I saw a Older Lady who is in Grandmas ward on monday. My collega needs new shoes so we went to the garment center and she was there to try on the shoes. But anyway I thought that was cool. Mom and Dad I just love my mission. I think this has probably been the best choice I ever ever made in my entire life. And I know that Dio sta bendendo mi. AHH I just cannot wait.
I am sorry to hear that he went home I will put him in my prayers and I hope that all is well. I sparo all will get fixed and that he can come back out on his mission again. I am glad to here that Brittany and Bronson are adjusting their lives to the school and I am glad that James is getting better. I love you all and I will try to send that letter.
Love

The email that we never got and Alison had to send 5 times for some reason
Hey Family,
Ok let me see, she is one of the shorter brunettes. Um she is the one who is a little more plump. But I thought both brunettes had long hair that was short. She likes to wear scarves, so if she is wearing scarf then that is here but I could be wrong and then there could be someone else who is wearing a scarf in that photo. In the group that went off that time there were only 4 guys and 6 girls. It was a small group compared to ours. Mom give me a minute to think about the scriptures, I probably will come back on later today and tell you. That is good to know that you like to follow the blog. Oh I added a few pictures and I hope you enjoy them. Oh the last picture was taken today.
Well I guess betris had to go at one point. But man that stinks, why in the world would someone do that. Oh well. sorry mom, I know you likes it. okay mom I will look for my cousin. I still cannot believe how fast it has gone. Oh so I want to tell you an experience I had the other day. No it was not a fun one. So my collega and I went to teach a lesson we were completely prepared for the lesson and we not worry about how it was going to go, because we had prepared and thought it was going to go well. I think we might have been a little to confident over it. We went into the lesson it was a total disaster. I mean we could not even speak it got to the point where we were telling each other we wanted to leave. I think we thought we could do it all by ourselves and not with heavenly father. Because we were like oh we know how to do this, it is no big deal. But so we had a bit of a crying feast over it, I know me crying for a long periods of time over a lesson who would have thought. But anyway you Sister Travalini in your ward who has been sending me letter. Well her letter came the next day and she put quotes in her letter. I read them to my collega and they just seemed to be perfect for our current situation. I do not have them on me right now but I will probably type them on here later or something. But they seemed to brighten up our moods, I truly think the Lords knows exactly what we need.
Oh I want to tell you about this crazy picture that we got from the frencesce the other day. So my collega while we were planning on of our lesson through a note into the room it had a picture of smigal on it (ok I know I spelled that wrong) and so we decided to draw a ringwrath and it is colorful (we made it last night, my collega and I) Anyway I just wanted to say that because it makes me laugh. Oh we also had a awesome lesson yesterday, we were able to teach in italian for over 35 minutes what. I was happy.
Oh I thought they were sent with Conners letter and I was worried they would not get here. Man that would have created less stress hahaha. Oh well. The funny thing is mom I was thinking the same thing over that issue. In my district the other days we had an hour talk over issues that needed to be confronted and it has helped our district so much. Because I am not saying there was contention we just were not all on the same page and it was a times a little bothersome to others. Well mom and dad and of course the boys I love you all and hope all is well. I hope your remainder of the week goes well. Tante bella cose e anche ci amo.
Ciao,

Alison's letter this week
Hey family,
I recent the email from last week and I hope you got it this time. Sorry about that I did not know that it did not go through, at least I wrote a letter so that you knew I was ok. Yeah that would be great if I can get a new watch. I just did not know what to do with it. I have never had a watch start running backwards. It was strange, oh mom I have a request if possible. You know that travel tolietry bag you have for when you travel that you put everything known to man in. Like all your tooth brushes, toothpaste and everything else. Can you send me one? Because that would be a great help.
Yeah I can write them, they are also allowed to email me if they wanted. Since there are in my immediate family. But if they want something tangible I am totally fine with writing them. Do you forward them the emails as well? That is a crazy that he is going there. I know a bunch of the people heading out to Fiji this Saturday and the only thing I know how to say in fijian is hello. But that is a cool mission. Oh and I will tell Tyler you said hello.
We had a group of friends head out to France and Canada French speaking on Monday and Tuesday, but because of how close everyone can get at the MTC it was hard to watch them go. I mean I know I will probably see them again, but it was different. I mean I am now thinking in three weeks when I head out how challenging it will be for me to say good bye to my zone. Things are fine with my companion, we just like I have said both a pride issue and we both do not want to talk about our weaknesses. Mom and Dad it is not like I feel like I am not learning here, but the guys in my district are learning at such a faster pass. I love talking in italian and I am still trying to get my companion to talk more. It is such a pretty language. Here are the scriptures I currently have memorized in italian: James 1:5, first vision, Mose 1:39, our purpose, and half of D&C 4, which trust me I have to review all the times because I really feel if I do not not I will forget it.
Tell the munchie I love him and he is amazing!!!! He is silly and I am always trying my hardest to remain focused.
We heard the other day the only way you are able to teach the doctrine is to understand it better and I have been striving to read the doctrine and learn it to its fullest potential, but once I know one part, I open a cannon ball effect and want to learn everything. Well I feel like I have been writing a lot and there are other people who are in need of using the computer, so I guess I will send this one then add the pictures and tell me if you have received that last email. Alright? I love you all and I love hear about your lives because I am never there to. Alright I know I have said good bye like twice maybe more, but love you bye.
Love
Sorella Hanson
