Wow, I can't believe another week has gone by! We are now in February and I only have 30 days left of my mission! I am trying to soak in every single day because I know I am going to miss it so much when I am home.
This week was a really good week! We stayed really, really busy at the Visitor Center doing tours all day every day! We had 5 tours in a row almost everyday with only a 10 or 15 minute break between to get water or sit down for a second. It is pretty exhausting physically, also on the brain as we are switching from English to Italian. However, I wouldn't have it any other way. I love being busy and I love giving tours so I have been more than content. The diversity of people that we get to meet doing these tours is so interesting and fun. And I feel so grateful during every single tour to be here at this time.
We got really good news this week that the Visitor Center will be opening back up to the public by appointment in the next week or two! Little by little things are getting better over here! We also heard Sunday that the Rome Zone would be changing from orange to yellow. This means that we will be able to travel outside our commune, which is a huge blessing because all our friends and members live outside the commune that we live in. Now we are free to go and visit members and our friends. Also, many more shops, stores, and restaurants are open again! We had a pretty big celebration when we received this news. My "daughter" (the new missionary I'm training) and I are doing great together. Every week we come up with new ideas and goals and are constantly laughing.
We have been seeing so many miracles this transfer. One of our potential investigators, Miky, is now willing to meet with us and learn more since we are now in the yellow and are more free to move around. We will be seeing her on Saturday. Another one of our investigators, Roberto, wants to meet with us and introduce us to his daughter as we teach them about Family History. And we will be meeting with him again soon, as well.
I am grateful for the Lord and His hand in our lives every single day!
For p-day this week, Sorella Lavanda and I wanted to take our "babies" (new missionaries that we are training) to see all the beautiful sites of Rome. It was so much fun! However, every p-day starting today until the end I'm going to have "sad girl" moments because I realize I only have a handful of days left to enjoy my beloved Italy and the friends that I have made here. I love Italy with my whole heart and I am going to make sure that I make every single day worth while for the next 30 days!
Remember to find joy in the little things every day and realize that the Lord is always with you!!
Ciao ciao!
Sorella Acton
