Finally, I am posting about Liz! Sorry about the long time delay. I will take a few excerpts from her letters, because they are absolutely saturated with happiness and enthusiasm.
There is sure a lot to see and do on preparation days. The culture, art, and architecture are amazing as well as ancient. Elizabeth loves to explore, and she loves to meet people.
"OKay, okay, so this week was......AMAZING!!!!! I am like bursting at the seems right now! I love being a missionary, I love my companion, I love the ward, I love MIlano, I love Presidente Dunaway, I love this language, I love our investigators, I love doing finding work, I love watching peoples faces as I teach them these truths, I love listening to my companions testimonies, I love the food, i love praying, I love doing scambi, I love parks, I love personal study, I love the book of mormon, i love teaching less actives, I love, i love i love IT ALL!!!! AHHHHH!!!okay so this week i had my first scambi EVER!! (those are exchanges with other sorelle in the milano area) AHHH i LOVED IT!! i learned so much! I learned how to do Strada and parco (contacting people on the street and in the park) it was AWESOME.. "
"We have had sooooo many good lessons this week! Our investigators are progressing and oh, I just can't explain the love I feel for these people! The gospel heals hearts, families, adn lives! But its always the simple things that hold us back....the small things are what are hard to do! Its worth it though...that's why they need your help! They come into the church and think that everyone is perfect there...nope, wrong!! Totally not perfect!! We are all trying to be better though! Let them see that! The spirit is simple and soft, this gospel is plain and beautiful, the Savior lives and loves us, wants us to simply try as best as we can and embrace us in his loving arms!"
"This Sunday I got to watch as our beautiful Sabrina was baptized! Oh, she was radiant!! She honestly glowed for the rest of the night! The spirit was gentle, present, adn sweet! A very special thanks to mom for the ''I am a child of God'' necklace! We gave it to her and she LOVED it! I've never seen anyone put something on faster! I'm excited for you all to see the pictures! She is such an angel! It was also a beautiful experience for her mom Rosa. She was touched to tears! And like my blessing said to bless these peoples lives with music...i'm not hiding my light Dad...I got the priviledge to sing!! :) It was a very neat experience! I sang Piu forza tu dammi (More Holiness Give Me) and afterwards, like usual LOADS OF CIBO...really yummy cibo!! It was probably the most beautiful baptism I have ever seen...Nothing went even a little wrong...now that is a miracle! ps-I'm playing the piano alot here!"

Yay, thanks for the update on here!! I love seeing the pictures and hearing all about everythig. I know I get the weekly emails, but I LOVE seeing the pictures. Thanks for keeping this updated Mom! Your the best!
Wow, I love the happiness and enthusiasm oozing from her letter! I am so glad that we have missionaries like Liz out there. The pictures are great, I don't think she has ever looked as beautiful as she does now.
Ah! Che bella emozione! Che entusiasmo! Sorella Rasmussen, sei davvero una brava missionaria, perché tu dai tutto il tuo cuore al Signore e il suo lavoro. Si vede la tua fede in azione, e i simpatizzanti la sentono con ogni parola della testimonianza e insegnamento.
Il Signore ti ha benedetto grandemente, e so che ti benedirà ancora molto di più. Goditi dei scombi a Milano adesso mentre puoi! Non succede spesso per le sorelle nelle altre città… Ma chissà? Forse è diverso con Pres. Dunaway.
Credo che i missionari migliorano con ogni trasferimento, ed erano bravissimi e facevano un buon lavoro mentre io c’ero. Con te e i tuoi colleghi adesso, è sicuramente una missione più incredibile!
“…serviremo con grande fede dando tutto il nostro cuore!”
Pregherò ancora per il tuo successo, Sorella!
