Well, departure dates have been pushed back a week, and departure dates have been moved up a week. So here I am, 3 days away from a flight to Italy!! There is so much to be done, and so much to finish, but it has been quite the ride! I really have learned a lot! But sometimes, when you're laying in bed thinking about how you don't know how to order a glass of water with no fizz, you wonder if you've learned enough. But then I remember that's what the Senior Companion is for! It's exciting to think that the next lesson I help teach won't only be in broken Italian, but broken Italian AND somewhat fluent Italian. So that's exciting. 
We said some goodbyes already this week. The saddest so far being to our amazing tutor, Sorella Rincon. We all love her so so much and are going to miss her beautiful Italian. But, we have someplace to go, so we have to say goodbye. I also had to say goodbye to my bestie Sister Smith for 17 months, and that was pretty sad too. But she is now in Florida, serving the people.
We got some good photos finally of the whole district. I have had a lot of just me and the other Sorelle, but non of us with the Anziani. But we all did a session at the temple together, and got some photos.
I am so so excited to get to Italy, but am not excited for the long flight. But we have been super blessed to get a direct flight to Rome! So we don't have to do a bunch of layovers. But we have to leave the residence at 3:30 A.M. on Monday morning. Why do we leave so early? Only heaven knows, but we are still excited. Once we get to Rome, we get to see the temple, and I am SO excited for that. There are a lot of good things coming within the next couple of days!
I love you all, and your support means the world to me!
Vi voglio bene!!
Sorella Thorup
