Sorella Nelson's Mission to Milan Italy!

Ciao!! I had my first ultrasound at the MTC! I never thought that I would say those words, lol.  So basically what happened is this.... My district got assigned to be the testifiers and the starters for the tour.  Everybody was terrified to be a starter except for me, so I volunteered to do it (dragging Sorella Pacheco with me).  It was fine though because only one of us had to talk, and I like to talk a lot, so I talked the whole time and loved it!! Basically the starters welcome people to the MTC, tell them who you are, where you're going, and some things about how the tour works and send them on their way.  Super easy, super fun! Well about halfway through this exciting adventure (for me, for Sorella Pacheco it was too much standing for her liking lol).  My leg started to do this really weird thing where it like had this dull pain that I could ignore, but then it got worse the longer I stood and then I got really dizzy and fel...

Ciao Tutti!! (Hello Everybody)  I wanted to have a foreign companion 1. because they are super cool and I love learning about other countries, and 2. Because if Italian is our main common language it will make learning the language easier (because I like to talk, lol).  It is awesome having Sorella Pacheco as a companion because we really balance each other out.  She is better at Italian than me (she studied it for two years), so she can help me when I don't get what the teacher is saying in Italian.  I am very good at English, so I can help her when she doesn't get what the teacher is saying.... hahaha see the pattern? lol.  We are both really funny people though.  We are constantly laughing, Le Sorelle in our dorm say that we should have our own TV show because we are so funny.  They also say we have our own language, which we kinda do... It’s this weird combination of Italian, English, S...

Ciao everybody! So real quick, really cool thing... I can check email EVERYDAY! That being said, I can only reply on Fridays.  BUT because I have a tablet, my emailing time is pretty much limitless.  So that is really nice.  We do however have other things to do though.  So the work load will determine how much time we have to email.   These last two days have been absolutely crazy!  Marshall and I found about 35 other missionaries that were also on our flight from Atlanta to Salt Lake City.  About 30 of them were returning home from Spanish speaking missions.  One Sister was returning from Africa!  Super cool!  Most of the missionaries were super struggling to speak English.  Especially the one that was sitting in front of us on the plane.  At one point he flipped around and spoke entirely in Spanish.  It was a little bit in that he realized that he wasn't speaking English...
