4th transfer in Messina, 3rd Italian companion, 2nd transfer as zone leader in the number 1 mission in the world!!!!!!!!!
Alrighty!!!! Goooooood Morning!!!
I hope you are all doing well. From you letters it seems like
things are pretty good. Mom, just to let you know I haven't gotten the
package yet and I won't have it until February the 15th. Ha-ha, don't
worry, it's all worked out. But yes, let's hope that the salsa didn't
break... =/ (I'm soooo excited that you sent salsa!!!)
That's great about Abby's call, make sure that you send me an email
with pictures!! I can't wait to find out where she's going. But I did
have a question.... about the whole 7 continents thing.... does that mean that
someone is serving in Antarctica???? Because that would be way cool!!! But
if I remember right the only people that are there are scientists and they only
stay for like 2-3 month periods... Ha-ha, no that's way cool though.
GOOOO ESPAÑA!!!!!!
J!!!!!!! thanks for the letter! I'm so glad that this week you
learned what our intestines do, that is very important to know!!!! I can't stop
saying that I love you either!!!! We’ll just have to keep saying it forever =P
Maren, that's too bad that you didn't like Stake Conference mom
said that it was really great! Has your best friend moved in to the house
next door yet?? That way you can enjoy your snow days with her!!
I'm glad that Meg is doing well. Tell them hello for me.
I can't imagine Forrest with a beard. Do you have any news on
Mikey? How’s he doing?
The work here is going really well. First mom pointed out that
I forgot to tell you Andrea's name. He's the guy who was inactive for
almost a year and now is a fully active tithe payer. What a sweet
story!!!!! This week he also helped us with a lesson with someone who is
having a lot of trouble with getting the faith to pay the tithing. About
the family that was baptized in December, they are doing really well. They
are continuing to see wonderful blessings. We were hoping to have them go
to the Swiss temple in April with the ward so that they could do baptisms but they
are going to go visit the Sri Lanka so they are going to miss it, but they
really want to go.
Now about transfers....mom is dying!!!!
I'm......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................staying
in Messina but my Companion is going to a L'aquila, a city east of Roma.
And my new companion is going to be Anziano Cremonese from Brianza (close
to Milano). I'm still a zone leader, which will actually be pretty cool
because this transfer, rather than having a zone conference, we're having a
mission tour from Anziano Richards of the European area presidency. And before
the actually meeting, he wants to meet with the zone leaders and talk with
them. It should be pretty interesting......
This week I ate an entire stuffed squid. It was actually VERY
good.
I actually had a lot of really interesting things that I
found/studied this week but I forgot my notes at home.... =( however, I do remember one thing. It’s
about the yoke. Christ says that we need to take upon us his yoke because
it is light and easy to carry. Well I learned something very interesting
about how a yoke works. It isn't just something that the ox has that
attaches it to a cart or wagon. It’s actually a device that allows it to
pull incredible amounts of weight. We’re talking like up to 15 times it's
own weight! This fact makes the meaning of what Christ invites us to do
much more profound. He says if you apply this gospel you'll be able to do
things that you've never imagined. You'll be able to bear things that otherwise
would have seemed impossible; you'll be able to become something that before
you only dreamed about.
Well that's all the time that I have for today. I love you all
and can't wait to hear from you next week. Abby, make sure you have
someone take pictures!!!!!! And tell me as soon as you find out!!!!!!!!!!!
Ciao!
Oh and dad, I'm still looking for those driving gloves.
