Ciao Famiglia!
So I new that i was getting old in the mission, but this confirmed it, my first week in the mission without a letter. Don't worry though, even if you have forgotten me, I still remember you all. John Happy Birthday, proprio Today!!!! It seems like just yesterday we were eating salmon with Omi and Papa, its crazy how the time is flying I hope you are doing amazing things with your time. This week I will hit my 6 month mark in the mission which is soo weird. We had a maxi conference this week with all of the missionaries in the Puglia, and for the first time since I have been out I met some of the missionaries that are younger than me. I also received a couple letters from friends other places in Italy, and Jessica Ogle, and they all reminded me of just how lucky I am to have this time to share my testimony with these people and love them. In light of this six month mark, it has made me reflect a bit on what I have learned, what I would still like to learn, and some of the highlights.
Language- After many strange looks and laughs, I no longer say "siamo finiti." Where its direct translation would be we are finished, the Italian's take it very literally to mean we are FINISHED (dead), rather they would say have we finished. I know better now.
Talking wise, People still will finish my sentences for me, but the other day we were talking with someone and I realized that I was not having to translate at all what they were saying, I simply understood it, it was So Beautiful! There were almost tears.
Lifestyle Change- I am perfectly content in plain colors, Lindsey sent me one of my favorite skirts from home, and could not handle those three stripes on it, it was simply way too much pattern :)
A day without pasta is pretty much a day without food, its not even so much that I love so much, but my body is convinced it needs it to feel full. Also, the sun and I are best friends, there is no such thing as too hot. Favorite activities, I really love reading scriptures, talks, the dictionary, its so fun. New "Ensigns" are just as exciting as any Birthday present I ever received.
My Testimony- Where there is a Will, He has made a way. We all have been given the opportunity to learn where and how we can find happiness, and I absolutely love sharing my testimony with others as well as getting to here their's. Those little small assurances that we receive as we do our best to align our will with his are priceless. In fact, this last week, we had about an hour before we needed to return home after English course, and we decided we needed to go out to a little near by city. As we were walking my companion stopped someone to ask for directions, and she looked at us and said, I know you all! I have talked with you on the phone and want to learn more! We then quickly realized that she was someone we had been trying to get a hold of for over a month, but the last time we tried calling a man answered the phone and said she was gone and would not return for a long while. Anyways, appararently he was an old boyfriend and she had no idea. It just amazes me to see how well the Lord knows us, and to realize how personal he really is.
I guess what I am trying to say is that I love my mission, and can not wait to learn more. I really am so so spoiled. My companion and I always laugh, because the only time I ever say "I can't handle anymore" is when we are at someones house trying to finish our plate with a pund of pasta. I can not quite remember what I was doing with all my time when I was 17 and 18, but here we have some of the most incredible young adults (gans) here who have also been great examples for me. One of my highlights every week is getting to go on spilts with them. They are really incredible and not scared of anything. Often times I will stop someone to ask how they are doing, or if we can help lend them a hand, but after hardly anytime at all we are teaching them together and I am blessed to get to hear their incredible testimonies as well.
Mom I hope all is going well with you travel. Christopher, it would truly bring tears to my eyes if you wrote me about EFY, but if not, you could atleast send me a picture. pS mom, thanks for the letter I did get it. Joe, Critter, Dada, and EMma Dear I love you all! Have a fantastic week and a great pioneer day, and a good time in California. Love yall!

What Excitement!
Wow, sounds like everyone has quite the eventful life right now. I could hardly keep up with the events in email form much less in real life, but I hope all is well and sane. Our week here in Bari Italy has also been eventful, and I am trying to figure out how to slow down time. July and August in Italy means vacation time. Right now many of our appointments begin "it is so good to see you!!!" and then they end "Can't wait to see you in September!" People live at the Sea, and can not grasp why we do not go.
It is always an interesting conversation when we talk to people and they will say, but why did you choose to do this, to serve this mission? You are so young, and you are beautiful, what would make you want to come give up your life?.... This is always a great introduction for us to get to share why it is that we would want to do something as crazy as wear skirts everyday with ugly shoes, and attempt to speak a foreign language. In shorts it is because pretty much this life is so amazing. Even with the stresses, the money problems, the heat, and everything that gives us a hard time, we have the ability to understand these things, and to feel the love of our Savior Jesus Christ. We would you not want to share the best recipe for happiness with the world? Not only do you get to know these things, but you get to watch as others also discover the path to a permanant smile. They then tell us nice things, and tell us to come back and marry a Barese. Romans 8 talks about how there is nothing that can separate us from the love of God, and I know it is true.
Other news, we have been teaching someone named Giovanni and he is wonderful. Dad you should be so proud, I peeled shrimp all by myself, eventhough it still had the eyes and head and everything, and I ate octupus. It has really been such a blessing getting to meet so many people, and get to know them so well. I am surrounded by people who work really hard, and do it because the love it, and it is very inspiring. Also to get to see how really we are all family is SOO cool. I know I've written about our blind friend Benito and his helper Elisa, and this last week she was just excited to see us, as she has left everything in Giorgia to work to support her family. But to see how we all come from different cultures and background, but share the same love for God is cool. We gave her a book of Mormon in Russian and she was so excited.
Anyways, mom hang in there, sorry about all those stresses. Dad, I can't imagine how much fun you are having, but I am sure you are doing great things, and how cool that will be to get to watch the ward grow. Jonathan, HAPPY birthday!!!! I hope it is a fun day to you, and you are able to find lots of new beginnings and adventures in this next 21st year of life. Lindsey thanks for the email, it was perfect. Tell Elle and the gang and Keelie hello! Love you all!

Back in Bari!
Ciao Cari!
So after many hours of bus and train, and even a little fairy ride inbetween we made it back to Bari. I am amazed how different the people and the cities are. In the end we never dd get the permesso di sogiorno, but we were able to teach some amazing lessons, and meet people who we otherwise never would have met. One story that was pretty incredible was the man we ended up being assigned next to on the train. I have come to learn and love, how nothing happens because of chance, but that really everything happens for a reason.
Oh goodness, bad news, we just found out that the internet place needs to close. Mom, the weather has been very humid and even a little rainy which i guess is not normal. With everyone out of town we have been walking a ton! Just an example, monday night we left the house on foot at 4 came home at 9.30 and did not sit hown at all inbetween. My leggs were dead, but it was a good pain. Well got to run! Love you. Happy EFYing brothers, I am excited to hear all about it :)
Love,
Sorella Robb

Oh What fun it is to here from my family on PDAy...Hey!
Dearest Favorite Family and Friends of Mine-
It is always a treat to hear from you all, and please know that I sat that with all seriousness and a smile on my face. Dad Hope you had a fantastic birthday, I loved the pictures even if they were a little morbid. Joe, congradulations on being the most accident proned child of the family, in the future maybe try a little harder to not let your goofyness get you down. Christopher, who are you? There was a picture with dad, joe, and this tall stranger with a weird grown up looking face. P.s. Love the beard! And mother, I always knew that you had it in you to make those long trips on your own, auguri!
So suprise, I am writing from Ragusa today, it is a little city on Sicily. And no, I did not get transfered, but rather my companion needed to come back up here to pick up her permit for proselyting so we have spent the last few days here. Anyways this has made for quite the eventful week and new adventures. Last week was a blast, we actually had a couple lessons with members and investigaters together and it was very neat, with a great spirit. There was also one of those miracle moments where we were in the park and I felt I needed to go and talk with a women sitting down, and as it turns out she is the mother of a guy who we talked to over a month ago one time, but she was talking about this son of hers, and I said "is his name Joseph(giuseppe)" and she was like yes, anyways he was going through a really hard time as well as the family and we were able to teach about the plan of Salvation. The Lord works in such marvelous ways, and I LOVE getting to see these miracles everyday!
Other exciting news, I had my very first door opened yesterday! And lots of people opened and talked to us. It is crazy how different of a world a mission it is down here in Sicily. Right now we here in Ragusa with my MtC companion, Sorella White, my Companion right now Sorella Black, and her MTC companion. After talking with Sorella White it has been so interesting to learn how different our work is. Here if you talk to someone they talk back, if you knock on their door they open their door, or walk out on their Balcony, or open their their window and talk, it is in every way a little quaint old Italian City. However, our church experiences are very different, as my ward in Bari is filled with amazing active members who love to serve and do missionary work, and down here they spend a lot of time trying to strengthen and unitri (only 12 hours away on a bus) and get to work again in our area slightly sleep deprived but reenergized with hope for people of Bari!
Kalli Hakes, that is so very super super exciting, and if I am not mistaken you are going to get to spend 12 weeks in the MTC? you will love it! Well I hope that everyone has a fantastic fourth of July and will enjoy the fireworks for me. Also I found another scripture that I love about being of good cheer, but I forgot to write down the verse, but maybe it is in 86? Ummm.. who knows, but I promise you that if you read the scriptures you will find some favorite scriptures of your own that will boost your day and slay your worries. Hooray for Missionary work, and for the power and help we all have to overcome our trials and find joy in the simple things. Love ye the people. It has been a treat though, and I am so excited to get to go back to Baou all!

(ps if you ever come to Sicilia, or rather when you come, the Ricotta is incredible, and you can eat it fresh and warm and it is soo good!)

Happy Festa!
So I started to think that it was a special Italian thing to have every other day be a Holiday, but I am realizing that is just life. Dad Happy Birthday, and Also happy Fathers Day! I am sorry I am missing your 49th, but I do what I can to send another gray hair your way, eveyone thinks you are way too young to be my dad. Omi and Papa, happy 50th! That is so neat, and you both have been such great examples to me, and I love my dad, so thank you for raising him to be so great and to teach me such amazing truths, pretty much I love my family, so thank you for this incredible blessing in my life! Also, I almost forgot this one, but happy 4th of July (i guess technically that is next week)! Had it not been for the fact we went and visited a member yesterday who grew up in Utah and was wearing a 4th of July Shirt I would have forgotten that it meant anything at all. So enjoy the fireworks, watermelon, and if you can maybe even go to a rodeo!
Just like every other week, this week was filled with excitement, suprises, and so many priceless experiences and lessons. To start there was the baptism of Maurizio, which was so neat. My companion Sorella Black and I played for an musical number and for the last verse everyone came in singing together for "I know that MY Redeemer Live," and the words, paired with the spirit, and Maurizio, was so powerful! so incredible! I get chills just thinkng about it. Sunday it rained, and what better place to be than outside, We had a an Unbrella, which kept our eyebrows dried, but didnt really slow down the river than was rushing down the street, but it did slow down people that had nowhere to go but talk with us.
This week was also tranfers, and we now have an Italian in our District, his grandmother is actually in our ward, so everyone is very excited, but this also means that now everything we do is going to be in Italian so it will be a great push for me. We are still being fed way to much pasta, and are served gelato if we are lucky just once a day, but sometimes its even twice. However, despite how much we are fed physically it never ceases to amaze me how much I am taught and fed spiritually. Yesterday, I decided I needed to be a little more Like Ether, and put more energy into my prayers. I dont know that I understand yet what it means to wrestle with the Lord, but I so badly wanted to know what I could do to help this family. Afterwards I proceeded to my personal study, and came across something in a random chapter, that was completely out of sequence with what I'd been study and yet I really felt like I needed to share it. Anyways long story short, we are talking with this person and she said, this is going to sound so silly, and I don't know why I am even asking you this, but ... andthen she proceed with the question that was answered with what I had studied that morning. It is no cooincidence that our Heavenly Father answers us so much that he answers our prayers, but it is very cool. I am so greatful for His patience and His guidance. The things that I dont understand is how everytime I try to serve Him he just blesses me, its really not fair.
Communque, Dad and Brothers of mine, I hope you all return safely. Mom thanks for being so wonderful, Emma you are too cute, and Sam you're the man. Sorry for the mushiness, but as the 40 year old Italian man said to us on the streets this morning as he answered His mother's phone call... "excuse me I am [becoming] Italian." I love y'all I always will! Thanks for tutto, the letters, emails, evening those ones that are a little fewer and far between! My Friends you are great! Tante Belle Cose! Mi Racommando!

Happy Birthday Critter
Mother! And family and friends!
Mom I hope you have made it to Utah alright. With your driving record I must admit I am a little scared, but I also know that you are very wise and do not do stupid things. Also, I even already received your snail mail yesterday, it was super fast! Thanks, its always nice to find things in our mailbox that are not political fliers!
This week is super exciting, because there is a baptism for our ward. It is an interesting story of someone who ran into elders a good handful of years ago and told that it just was not a good time. Anyhow, towards the beginning of the year he just showed up in church and said he was ready to hear our mesage and that he wanted to learn. He is a very intellectual person and has wanted to take it slowly, but it got to the point where he said I don't want to wait anymore, I can already see so many amazing changes in my life I don't want to wait any longer. So that is his story and Saturday is his baptism and he is really excited as are we.
Today i was thinking it would share some of my favorite things about summer here in Italy. #1- our vetran members. There are a number of amazing women who because of health are not able to come to church and we get to visit them for service. This week we visited Sorella Leone who I believe is in her 80s if not 90s. Anyways this week we went to see her and asked her what day it was, and with tears in her eyes she said "40 years ago, today, I was baptised with my daughter." She then shared some of her experiences and testified of the blessings she has seen in her life. Sometimes I fail to aknowledge just how blessed I have been my whole life. Eveything I was brought up to be as normal family values, activities and even feelings I felt are a luxury that so many people do not have. #2. Talking with the people on the streets, sometimes I love it and sometimes it breaks my heart. For example last week we took and stoll in the park just before going home and met an amazing couple. She was telling us about what it means to put into practice your beliefs. we were able to teach and testify about the love of our Savior and how we can apply it and use it to help strengthen our families. We walked away with goosebumps, it was amazing. On the other hand yesterday I was talking with someone else who was telling me about some of his weeknesses but how thats just life and he cant help it and its too late to change, or there are people who don't believe that they are worthy enough to pray to our Heavenly Father, and this to me is sooooo Sad!!! 3. The Fruit, it is amazing! Papa you know how you love cherries, well here they are less than 50 cents a pounds and they are fresh off the tree. Also peaches, appricots, soon figs... it is quick the treat after returning home from hours on foot in this hot heat.
Communque, I hope every is having a good summer, and taking time to realize just how blessed we are. Critter! I know you are at your special camp, but I hope you have an amazing birthday! Also James I believe it might also be your birthday, Auguri! Emma thanks for your picture it was gorgeous and made my day. Really, I show off my family everyday, you all mean so much to me. Joe congrats with a good experience, now if you wouldnt mind doing me a favor and sharing some of the wealth (aka efy music) I would love you for the eternities :) Hope everyone has a great week and remembers to open up the scripture and partake of some of the Good News. A favorite scripture for the week DC 29:4-5 . Happy Travels, and Hilary Harris- Congrats. Love you Much!

Count Your Blessings
Cari Miei!
I am not even sure if that is correct, but I am trying to experiment with new things. I have to apologize, because today we are a little short in time. Lessons I have learned this week is how It is amazing how we learn things, and how everything we learn about wisdom and faith in the scriptures are 100% true and the promesses are true.
At one of our last conferences we talked about Alma 32 and the importance for us and for our investigators also to experiment upon the word. It is interesting to see that we really can see the results if we try, but so many times it is hard to start and do our part. Everyday I have an anxiety to open my mouth for the first time, but there are amazing blessings and I also feel so much better. There are also times when there continue to be struggles but we put the experiment to the test again, and sempre it works out for our good.
As for as neat stories, I mentioned the funeral of Luca Carnivale, his family is amazing, and going so strong, and the coolest thing is that the fruits of Luca's life and mission are continuing. His mom came up to us this last Sunday and told us how there are people who had a very special experience with the funeral and want to learn more. How cool that we are able to live with our families forever! I love that there are always new things to learn, and that we get to put to test the promises we find in the scriptures, that as we put into practice our faith we get to find hope, and build our very own testimonies. Family I hope everyone is doing well. Mom thanks for making sure I got an email. Eventhough it is always fun to hear from you, it was also a treat to get to hear from Jonny!
Love you all!

I am not even sure if that is correct, but I am trying to experiment with new things. I have to apologize, because today we are a little short in time. Lessons I have learned this week is how It is amazing how we learn things, and how everything we learn about wisdom and faith in the scriptures are 100% true and the promesses are true.
At one of our last conferences we talked about Alma 32 and the importance for us and for our investigators also to experiment upon the word. It is interesting to see that we really can see the results if we try, but so many times it is hard to start and do our part. Everyday I have an anxiety to open my mouth for the first time, but there are amazing blessings and I also feel so much better.
