Greetings once again!
Here's my week, condensed bc I'm tired of typing and I'm sure you're tired of scrolling through my long emails to get to the pictures.
-Baptismal preparations are taking lots of time but so exciting
-both investigators have passed their baptismal interviews and are doing great!
- spent last P-day in our apartment and the Rimini Sorelle came over to hang out with us.
- A Catholic priest who believes in the Mormon church keeps meeting with us and asked for us to make him brownies.
- we have exactly 5,000 English class flyers to pass out and are doing so daily
-Africans are afraid of the rain
- we went up to a girl with a shaved head mohawk, swastika & satanic tattoos, etc and we were both deathly afraid but she was actually one of the nicest and friendliest humans I had ever met and turns out she's from NYC and lives here bc she married an Italian and I just learned a lot about judging and first impressions.
- ate mediocre pizza bc all the good places were closed for the holiday week(s).
- had a (another) b-day party for a member at a gelateria, both our investigators came and one brought a friend. Also 3 inactives came bc we called and pretty much begged them to. It was a great night of strengthening friendships in the branch, at least from what I heard bc we had to leave about as soon as it started bc missionary curfews.
- made a too-sharp turn and both my bike and I crashed down in the middle of a busy street
-bike chain fell off and I put it back on somehow that night
- face-planted while sprinting up the stairs and provided Sorella O with a month's worth of laughs.
This week I want to talk to y'all about living prophets and apostles. We have taught a bit about that this week. It really is an amazing thing to have. We have living prophets!!!! That really is amazing. It was recently Thomas S. Monson's bday. He's wonderful. Read his words. Watch him bear powerful, humble testimony. Follow him and the apostles, they know what they're doing!
All is well in Forlì, Italia. I am so grateful for y'all's emails, encouragement, and prayers.
Lots of love!
Sorella Riley
Pictures are a bit uneventful this week. But enjoy what I could scrape up.
Sorella O's new diet strategy / Black hands post bike surgery
Weekly planning set-up
A picture of Forlì I found on Google maps. Not bad for our "armpit of the mission" city.
