| New companions! Anziano Wijesundera and Anziano Ridd in Perugia |
This week
was soooo pack with stuff. I mean, PACKED. This email is a small attempt to
explain what has been going on.
Well the
event of the week was definitely Elder Ballard coming. He is amazing and has
such a powerful testimony in Jesus Christ. He talked to us a bunch about
miracles and prayer. I loved that he invited us to seek the will of our
Heavenly Father instead of try to command him around. He knows what’s best for
us, we just need to ask him what we should do. Also he totally remembered Dad
by name.
So, the
results of transfer calls on Monday surprised the masses of our house. The go
like this. Anziano Waddell is going to work in the YSA in Rome, Anziano
McConkie is going to be with Anziano Toronto and remain in Pescara. I have been
sent away to serve in the most northern city in our mission, Perugia. So after
many goodbyes, and much sadness, I am in the beautiful Perugia. Things are
great though. I have a great companion, Anziano Wijesundera from Malibu,
California, and the guys in the house up here are studs as well: Anziano Osmond
from the land of Provo, and Anziano Allred from Williamsburg, Virginia. We make
a great team to get the group here to become a branch.
I came
crashing down in Perugia is its most famous moment. Perugia was in mid-swing of
its Eurochocolate - a massive European chocolate festival. It was so busy here.
Surprising, I found myself broke due to all the travels and couldn’t buy much
chocolate to fatten myself with. But if you wanna know, Perugia is a city of
chocolate. When we wake up we smell chocolate in the air...also due to the fact
that the Perugia chocolate factory is right next to our house.
Blessings
on blessings, KL was baptized and confirmed last weekend. It was awesome to
hear from him and he told me how great he felt. He even brought a friend who
now wants to follow Jesus and be baptized. Go KL!
Now to
the ten Euro miracle: so, I mentioned I was broke. That was true except for the
10 euro I had saved to buy groceries today. So, limiting myself to 10 euro, I
bought a bunch of stuff and made sure it was under 10. As I checked out I saw
that it was 10 items, and I got worried I spent too much. The cashier looks at
me and says, that will be 10 euro. EXACTLY. that was the sickest thing ever.
Miracles happen! Have faith.
Love you
all!
Anziano
Ridd
