<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was splendid. We had a great zone conference and the part that stuck out to me the
most was about the importance of the Restoration. Since that day, we have taught
the Restoration of the gospel of Jesus Christ about 15 times. It’s been awesome. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

had my final interview with President Pickerd. It was great. He truly is a
great man and has been doing a wonderful job in being a mentor for me
personally. I hope to carry with me much of the advice and lessons taught to me

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We saw
some cool miracles, and I wanted to share one in specific. It goes to show that
being in tune with the Spirit makes you a tool in hands of the Lord. Last week
we took a bit of time to look at some old records and try and find less-actives. This time we enlisted the help of Facebook. As we found some members
that used to be here, we contacted them through Facebook. MC was a man we contacted.
In fact, his record was the first one I pulled because I remembered it from
before, when we couldn’t find his address. We simply asked him if he was still
in the area and if we could pass him. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">MC was
the only one to respond. He said that later in the week we could meet and he still
lived here. On Saturday morning we excitedly headed to his house. We met and
introduced ourselves. Then MC explained a miracle. He had just arrived 2
days earlier from Ecuador, where he was living for the last 4 years. He was
debating on coming back to Perugia, but was not wanting to, especially because
he was afraid of flying. So last week, his sister told him to start praying so
he could see what the Lord wanted him to do. The next day, he received a
message from us. He could not believe it. So he told us he would be here, and
came straight to Italy. I know God leads us on the path of life where we are
needed most or where we need to be most for our growth and happiness. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">All this
brings me to my last spiritual thought. Recently, I have been reflecting. I
can’t believe this is my last week as a missionary. I can’t believe the joy and
growth and relationships that have been had. They will last forever. But the
thing on my mind is - can one person really make a difference in the
world? <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Stupid
question! Of course! Look at the list from the top of my head: Jesus Christ,
Benjamin Franklin, Christopher Columbus, George Washington, Adam, the list goes
on. But I guess the better question is if “I” can make a difference in the
world. At this important part of my life, I have learned that "Yes, I can," but the
most important difference is not to change THE world. It is to change SOMEONE’S
world. To change their experience in this life to be more joyful and happy. To
ensure that they look to the future and don’t just see hardships, trials, and
death, but they see the joy of family, life, and progression. Jesus Christ
changes us one by one. We can do his work by loving one another individually and
personally. Jesus does not change the world alone. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Hey guys!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It’s been
an extremely rainy week this week here in Perugia. One night we had a mad
thunderstorm with a ton of hail. But it was pretty nice, because we slept like
kings that night. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anyways,
this week went okay. I recovered pretty well from my sickness and now only
suffer from mild symptoms of sore throat and coughing. As for the work though,
MP was invited to be baptized. She said she would give us a full answer next
week, as she prayed and talked to her family about it. Well, her daughters
informed us on Sunday that sadly, her husband is not as okay with it as we
thought at the beginning. So we are going to do our best to help him understand
why it is important for her to take the step and help him realize that we are
here to do good. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">As for SN,
he is now a member! We found his records and he will pretty soon have them all
here in the ward. Pretty soon he will be helping out with the sacrament with
us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This was
the last Fast and Testimony meeting I will have in the mission. It was very
surreal. I got the opportunity to help SM, the new convert, bless the Sacrament.
Then I felt I should bear my testimony. As I did, the Holy Ghost filled me and
I felt the confidence from the Lord. I know that the Holy Spirit guides us and
prompts us - if we are willing to listen. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Other
than that, this week flew by. Anziano Anderl is a great guy and is fun to have
around. I keep being blessed with companions and friends who are very musically
talented, so I feel blessed to have another amazing singer with me.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Love you
all!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Hey guys!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So this
week was crazy! We tried to work as hard as we could, but I sadly came down
with some kind of sinus infection monster. So we had some recovery naps mixed
with the fact that allllll of our toilet paper was converted into tissues and
we have gone through it very fast. Who knew I had so much crud in my
head. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anyways
there were also some baptisms! One was D from Perugia. I did his interview last
week and he was baptized this last Saturday. He is clearly a convert and is
excited to be able to baptize his daughter soon. How great a blessing we have
to have another convert to build the church with us. Then we also had EZ from
Terni, who was baptized. Anziano Huntsman baptized him and afterward EZ
bear-hugged him. The Spirit was strong there.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Also this
week we found out that SN had never gotten confirmed nor received the gift of
the Holy Ghost. So this next week we will prepare him for baptism so he can be
baptized the 10th of February. Because just like Joseph Smith said, “You might
as well baptize a bag of sand as a man, if not done in view of the remission of
sins and getting of the Holy Ghost. Baptism by water is but half a baptism, and
is good for nothing without the other half--that is, the baptism of the Holy
Ghost.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So that’s
kinda it for this week. Sorella P and family are being awesome and making super
great progress. We are hopeful for her to set a baptismal date this week with
us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
we had some fun experiences. We went on Friday morning to go serve a member
that lives 30 minutes south of us. He is an older guy and burned his hands
really badly, and because he is a widower right now, he has to everything on
his own. We came and gave him a blessing and then helped him bring in his wood
so he can keep his house warm. He also lives in a beautiful place, so we got
plenty of pictures while we were in the area. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Perugia
is poppin’ right now. You can bet by summer this place will be a BIG branch.
I’ll give the thanks to the fact that we have correct vision and have been
working so hard. I love being with the awesome guys that are serving up here
with me. This week we had 36 people in church. That’s a pretty big deal. We
have really grown, even if some of those people were guests.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then
after church on Sunday, SM, the amazing new convert, asked me to be the one to
confer the Aaronic priesthood to him and ordain him to be a priest. As always,
it was a very great spiritual experience and I know that SM will be a great
instrument in the hand of God. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Furthermore,
I did the baptismal interview for D. He will be baptized next Saturday as he is
very much converted to the gospel and cannot wait to get to the temple with his
family. With more friends and family to follow him, including his newly 8-year
old daughter, he is going to be a great leader to his loved ones. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">With all
this, we could say that Perugia is growing. I would say that maybe the
missionaries are growing more, however. We learn new things everyday and our
vigor and zeal for the edification of God’s kingdom on earth keeps growing.
What a tender mercy to be able to serve Him and gain such a love for the saints
of Italy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

this is the fourth quarter…the last part of the game. Just as many basketball
legends, we make (Michael Jordan) or break (LeBron James) the game based on how
we work in the fourth quarter. If I give it my all till the end and perform
like I need to, then the joy of victory will be had. I know that there is a
purpose the Lord has me in Perugia at this time. I also know that it only can
be accomplished if I decide to put it all on the line and serve with all my
heart and mind. I love the mission. </span><span style="color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Hey guys!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was jam packed full of great things. Honestly, it felt like the beginning of a
new hope. The beginning of new energy and new enthusiasm. I hope you guys also
feel that with the new year here. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Let’s
start with the fact that I’m now 21. We had a great experience at the P
family’s home. LV, one of the daughters, turned 20 on the same day, so we
celebrated together. It was nice to eat cake on my birthday again - hahaha. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Following
this, we had the beginning of greatness. SM, our18- year old friend and investigator, was baptized. It
was an amazing service. He had YSA (young single adults) from Rome, Terni, and
Perugia there to support him, and he bore strong testimony after he was
baptized about the restoration of the truth. I feel like his testimony is a strong,
blazing flame. Earlier in the week, he taught a lesson with us. He truly gets
the purity and simplicity of the gospel. He was the first baptism of Perugia
thus far. (More to come soon).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">After
that, we went to visit Sorella R ~ a great member who lives pretty far away,
but has need of the sacrament. So we visited her, and her spirit and testimony
are so strong. She told us how she has been striving to view all other people
as God would see them, so that she can love more fully. She is a great example
to me. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">As for
me, the transfer calls come tonight. This is my last transfer. This is the time
of making goals. This is the end in many senses, with the sad passing of
President Monson, and the end of the mission coming. But I see it as a great
beginning. I want to be better. I want to serve more, and give it my all. I
think all of us have things we want. Sometimes we discourage ourselves
though, and say we can’t get them. I think when we realize our potential, we
also realize we can do anything that we put our mind to. All it takes is some
really solid plans for those righteous goals, and DAILY recommitment to them. I
hope we all work toward something in the coming days and months so we can
develop in the years and decades ahead. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I love
you all! Happy new year. God bless President Monson.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Happy New Year! </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I hope
everyone had a great week! This week for us was pretty good!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We
started off by spending the day after Christmas (<i>Santo Stefano</i>, a Catholic holiday),
delivering cakes to all the group (church) members and singing carols to them. It went
great and they loved it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then this
week we also did a scambio with the zone leaders. Once again, Anziano Daniels
and I did work in Terni. It was fun and we enjoyed the work we did together.
Sadly, my dear friend Anziano Huntsman is not feeling so great, but he is recovering.
He is still hilarious as ever, even when he’s not feeling well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had a
pretty cool gesso we did on Saturday night in the center of Perugia, and had
some decent success talking to people about the Gospel. Due to holidays, many
people have been pretty closed. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
we picked up GR as a new investigator. He is Ecuadorian and is a cool guy. His
parents were Mormon and his brother is too, but they don’t live in Italy. His
wife was is less active, but currently they are baptized in an evangelical
church. It’s an interesting situation, because we originally thought he was a less active too. His wife seems like she might not want us there (strange
because she was LDS) and he is pretty interested to hear about priesthood and
prophets, but believes anyone who believes in Christ is
saved. So I’m excited to teach them more, to say the least. Especially
because they are expecting a baby in a month! <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Over this
past week I’ve recognized how strong I have grown in my testimony of modern day
prophets. By study and prayer over these 2 years, I know that their words are
the words that God has for us in these days. I know He’s called them and they
are inspired. I know Jesus lives, and He directs this church through them. The
Holy Spirit constantly confirms this witness to me as I read and study their
words. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white;">Give it a
go; try it for yourselves. Go study the words of modern day prophets. Apply their
promises, and you will see blessings come from that obedience. </span><i><span style="background-color: white;">(Click</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #cc0000;"> </span><span style="color: red;"><a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/10?lang=eng" style="background-color: white;" target="_blank"><span style="color: red;">here</span></a><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><span style="background-color: white;">to read/listen to talks from church leaders from the latest General Conference).</span></i><span style="background-color: white;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I hope you all had a great week. This week
we were pretty busy.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Zone conference happened and I really loved the
messages. They talked a lot about being consecrated missionaries and doing the
simple everyday things that make us better. I really like those themes, as I
have seen how the small things are what make us great, not any big massive act
of charity.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">During zone conference we did a nativity skit. Pictures
will be attached. I was a wise man. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then we also gave a blessing to A, the youngest daughter
of the P family. Sadly, she has been really sick recently! (Even on Christmas
Eve). So we are hoping and praying she gets better soon!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anyways, the best part about Christmas as a
missionary is that you get to realize that for the whole year you have been
100% focused on Christ. You also get to be his hands in places around the world
to help others know about Him, and his plan to help us return. I love it. I
hope we all try and do some small things each day to bring us closer to him. I
recommend sincere prayers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was super solid. It stated with the fact that we met with quite a few new
investigators and less actives. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We have a
cool new investigator named WL. He is Peruvian and pretty excited to learn
about the Book of Mormon. We will hopefully meet him again this week. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then we
had some more fun and eventful parts, like on Saturday night. We finally got an
appointment with an inactive member on Saturday. He invited us to go to a
Christmas party that he was invited to. We said yes, and later that night an
entourage of 5 cars came by our house. We were instructed to enter the Porsche
Cayenne S in the front. We did gladly, and they proceeded to take us to one of
the biggest Italian houses I have been to. It was filled with evangelical
Christians and all together we sang songs about Christmas, made friends, and
read scriptures. Anyways, it ended up being great, and we made a lot of cool
contacts. Also, we met A (who is the less active member) and made an
appointment to meet with him this week. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">On Sunday
morning, we came to Terni and participated in the opening day of the Terni
church building. It’s super nice and pretty much American. Anyways, it was
wonderful to go and bring all the investigators to see where they will be
baptized. We then had an open house at the end and it was a big success. We had
nonmembers, less actives, and inactives come. I love these people.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Hey Guys!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was alright. Perugia is on fire and on the way to becoming a branch!!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So I’ll
hit the highlights. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
we have done great work here in Perugia keeping our great active members
involved and making the inactive become more active. We had 2 priesthood
holders in church that are now becoming active. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">As for
that, we are doing very well. The members here are super awesome. Also our work
has been okay. Despite difficulty of finding more investigators, we have nice
investigators. They are mostly all progressing toward baptism and conversion.
The big highlight for the week is that my good friends Anziani Osmond and Allred
found gold. He is named SM. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">SM is
like...18 years old and he is living on his own because he wants to be more
independent as he grows up. He is super awesome and nice, and was interested
when they invited him to come to English course. He speaks English perfectly and
loves to learn. When he came, he soon learned about our church and was
interested as he didn’t practice much of anything recently for religion. He
looked up a ton of info on the church and studied it out himself. The last
Sunday, he came to church on his own. Then during this week, the other Anziani
met with him and he knew all of the lessons already. He totally understood
everything, and was excited to accept a baptismal date in early January. He
told us he always thought he was weird for having standards in high school, but
now he knows that God guided him the whole time. He is so smart and fun. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The Lord
knows us perfectly. He also will guide us if we let him. He puts us in the
lives of others to help them. Look around every once in awhile and try to
figure out what God wants you to learn from or do to help those around you, and
you will feel a higher purpose in life. I know it will also bring a lot more
happiness as well. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I love
you all! Have a great week!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So on Monday night we received our transfer
calls. Not too much commotion here, all of us in Perugia are staying for
another transfer. As for Terni, we still have the same sisters and Anziani
Daniels and Huntsman, but we got Anziani Jensen and Becker. Pretty cool stuff,
and I think we figured these changes would happen. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">With that out of the way, this week was
interesting. I enjoyed a lot of it, but sadly many of our appointments fell
through. That opened up our opportunity to start up our casa a casa (door to
door) here. Hopefully this next week we will be able to meet with these
people. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We worked with Sorella P again this week. She is
great, because she knows to ask us when she doesn’t know something. This week
she told us, as we taught the Restoration, that she wants to understand
scriptures more. So we taught her according to her needs. It was fun, and she
is continuing to progress. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then on Sunday we had SN in church, along our
new elder in the church. His name is BT, and he has been a member since 1999 in
Nigeria. He is sweet. So that should help the church a ton. SN is on fire right
now, and he is getting us new referrals and is doing all he can to serve others
for the “Sii una Luce.” <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anyways my small thought for the week is that we
need to be humble. If we think we know something, we won’t search to know more.
But if we are always questioning things, and if we are always humble, our
progress is unlimited. I know that it’s been true for me here in the mission.
Even when I have done something well 1000 times and it seems to work well, if I
am humble and ask, “Is there a better way?” I can always find the answer is
yes. Go search for the best way to do everything, especially in doing things
for others. In doing so, our growth is unlimited. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Hey guys!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was great. We worked a lot with members and less actives and the Lord blessed
us because of it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">To put
this in some perspective, Perugia was opened to missionary service again 6
months ago after many years without elders. Before this, the members had to go
to Terni (an hour or more away by car) if they wanted to go to church. So when
Perugia was opened, we had a few super awesome members who were coming to
church switch over and come here, and then a bunch of other people reactivated.
Nowadays we usually have about 25 people (including us) that come to church
each Sunday. With that being said, there are still plenty of less actives or
inactive members in the area, because they don’t know where the church is (it’s
so new). And right now, the obstacle we need to overcome is the fact that the
missionaries are the only active priesthood holders here. We need a good 3-4 to
open a branch. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Ok, now y’all
can see how Perugia is in a pioneer stage of its growth. Very exciting but
very...delicate. As missionaries, it is our responsibility to edify and build
the church where we are. Usually that is most effectively done by baptizing
converts, but other times it’s about finding already baptized people and
converting them by teaching repentance. This week, we did more of the latter,
due to many of the investigators being very busy this week. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">As it
turns out, the Lord wanted us to do the latter. We saw a ton of miracles. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I’ll dive
into some quick numbers: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Less
actives known about before this week in Perugia - 7<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Less
actives known about after this week in Perugia - 14<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now I
don’t actually know how accurate those numbers are, because the truth is we
have more less-actives in the area; it’s just impossible to contact a lot of
them. But of these people, I want to go off on a couple stories. First, a lot
of these people found are men. Oh my gosh, I have never been more excited to
meet with men in my life. We should meet with two of them this week. On top of that,
these two guys either live right next to where we meet for church, or are about
to move there. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">It was
perfect timing with one family that we saw. Two weeks earlier, their Mormon
cousin moved in with them from Lima, Peru, and EL’s husband (not a fan of Mormons) was away. We brought them Books of Mormon and a message. IB, the
cousin, came to church with us. But the coolest thing was when their 7-year old
daughter came up to us and said how much she would like a Book of Mormon, but
no one ever gave her one. We whipped one out and told her “Happy Thanksgiving”
as we gave it to her. Her face just lit up. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Now on to my
favorite thing and maybe one of the biggest miracles Perugia has ever seen! Since being here I have been praying fervently to find men and people to build
the church…to find the elect. (People who are truly ready to follow Christ, no matter
what). This weekend we received one of the answers to these prayers. Saturday
night, after a long day of finding and being stood up, we received a call from
Indiana. I answered it, as it’s not a usual occurrence. Fully expecting to hear
a nice American “Howdy” on the other end, I was taken aback when I was greeted
by a girl speaking Italian. She said she was a sister missionary from that
area and had a referral to send to us, but it was not working the usual way.
And in the process, I learned that her parents taught her Italian even though
she’s American. So moments later I received a text about SN. Now referrals are
rare here, especially something like this one. I was beyond excited to see
where it led. I called his number immediately, only to be once again talking to
a woman in Italian, only this time she was from Modena (northern Italy...and no,
she didn’t want to learn about Christ’s ministry in America). Disappointed that
the number didn’t work, we made a plan to swing by the address we had on Sunday
night. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Sunday
night shows up. We are traversing the cold (-1°C), windy, and twisted roads of
the historical part of Perugia to find this address. After many wrong turns, we
find his name on the buzzer. We ring it. We wait. We ring again. Then we hear a
voice, “Chi è?” “Noi siamo i missionari morm-“ “SALITE! VENITE SU ELDERES!” So
for those who don’t understand that, he was expecting us. We walk up the steep
old Italian steps to his apartment and meet SN. SN was baptized when he was in
his twenties, but since moved to many places and never went to church much. He
still believes, and recently, his dear friends who are LDS from his country
(Ecuador) just went through the temple and invited him to put God first as
well. Well, this man has been prepared. He told us his story and how grateful
he was to see us. The joy he expressed when he heard there was a church here
was immense. He told us he wanted more than anything a fresh slate, a new start
to his life completely dedicated to Christ. He then told us that his was sad,
because all these years he hadn’t come to church and didn’t even have a Book of
Mormon. Then something great happened. I pulled a Book of Mormon in Spanish
from my bag and told him it was for him. This grown 45-year old man took the
Book of Mormon, he hugged it and told us how important it was. He told us how
he knows this is what he once had but was missing from his life - the full study
of Christ’s ministry. Then he asked if we could take a picture of him with it.
I obliged and I decided to take a selfie as well, to commemorate the miracle. To
say the least, this man followed a spiritual prompting to contact missionaries
and refer himself to us. He knows that following Jesus Christ is priceless
above all things.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background-color: white; color: black;">This week
we also organized a Thanksgiving celebration on Wednesday for the members here
to kick off “Sii una Luce” or the “Light the World” initiative this December.
It went very well, and we even had some cool new friends I made in Terni come
up! (Oh yeah, I did a scambio with Anziano Daniels in Terni). That event was
great, because now our relationship with the ward and the Gans (YSA) is strong,
and they are ready to help out in building the church here. </span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="color: #38761d;"><i>Click <a href="https://www.mormon.org/" target="_blank">here</a> for ideas on how to light the world with service this special Christmas season.</i> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: black;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Hey! Happy
Thanksgiving!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This was
a pretty sweet week. I had some scambi with Anziano Osmond, and saw some cool
success throughout.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So at the
beginning of the week we had the scambio. I loved working with Anziano Osmond.
He is a great missionary and a really hard worker. I saw his desire to serve
the Lord and it was evident that he has been giving it his all. We got to teach
a few great lessons together, during which we saw a lot of progress in our
investigators. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">One of
the awesome things we saw this week was in the P family. In their family right
now, only the 2 older daughters are members, and the mom is taking the lessons.
On the visit with Anziano Osmond, Sister P opened up and asked if the next time
we came we could give a blessing in her home. Fast forward to the next time,
the Spirit was super strong. We talked about how the Spirit really is our comforter
because of his role to testify of Jesus Christ and lead us to His truth. When
he does that, we receive comfort as we believe and gain the hope that comes
through Jesus. I then got the opportunity to bless their house, and the Spirit
was so strong, which was awesome because they also had their brother and sister
there who were not as interested. I know that in that lesson we taught exactly
what the Spirit gave to us in that moment. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We picked
up two cool new investigators this week, ZL and BL. They are married and have a
new baby girl, G. They are seeking the truth and are so excited to have met
with us and have found more of it. We are excited for them. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This
Thanksgiving, I am thankful for so many things: the mission, my family, all my
companions. But I think the one that sticks out to me the most right now is our
ever constant companion, the Holy Ghost. Truly he guides us, and helps us know
our true identities as children of God. He has so much patience when we don’t
listen or understand his whispered promptings and will always be there to
confirm the truth. This is definitely one of the greatest blessing of God to
those whole are baptized into the church, and one I will always be grateful
for.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I love
you all! Have a great Thanksgiving!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hey guys,
it’s been another good week in Perugia,<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was full, and we some some solid success. Especially with single women.
Weird. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Starting
off the week at a good pace, Anziano Huntsman and I did a scambio here in
Perugia. For those who don’t know, Anziano Huntsman and I are from the same
home ward in The Woodlands, and we are good friends. To say the least, we were
thrilled to get the opportunity to work together. Huntsmans and Ridds seems to
work naturally well together, as we saw a bunch of success. And one can now
assume that rings true whether it is in business or teaching the gospel of
Jesus Christ. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The
reference at the beginning to single ladies was a reference to our amazing two
new investigators. Both of which were clearly prepared by God to receive us.
There is RL, who is pretty young. She was super interested when we taught
someone the Restoration on a bus, and wanted to know more. Then we have EL. She
is sooo nice and friendly. She wanted to know if we could teach her private
English lessons and we said we could - if we also teach the gospel. She said
yes, and it turns out that her English is nearly perfect and she is more
interested in the gospel. We are excited to continue teaching her. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">If that
wasn’t cool enough, we have a couple sweet miracles of the weekend. Both have
to due with some of my favorite people in Italy, G and C. First, C had a dream
that her grandmother approved of the Mormons, and she is now making steps to
follow the Word of Wisdom; and second, they both drove from Perugia to Roma (2
hours) to come to Stake Conference. There they met tons of their member friends,
along with the stake patriarch, President Pickerd, and the full stake
presidency. It was a fellowshipping miracle and they were the only 2 people
from Perugia there. Go and fellowship someone this week. I’m sure if you ask
the missionaries, they can put you to work. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Hey
family!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">As y’all
can imagine, this week was weird and long. But now things should be a bit more
consistent.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">On Tuesday
I received my new companion, Anziano Hughes. He is a good guy from Salt Lake
City, Utah. He is a very musical person, and it seems as if I am meant to learn
more about musical stuff/ musical theatre. Training again is strange,
hahaha. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then on Thursday,
we headed up to Rome to go to the Mission Tour. Elder Engbjerg of the Seventy
came, who is from Denmark. It was great, as my favorite thing taught by him was
“never give up.” He taught “don’t ever quit.” If it’s something that matters or
that’s good, then it’s always worth hanging in there. There is joy in finishing
what we set out to do and accomplishing. He then talked about his experience
with his sons, riding their bikes from NYC to San Francisco. He said at a
certain point, his son was in bad pain. They were so close to the end, but his
knee kept locking up. It got so bad that they stopped, and Elder Engbjerg asked
his son if he wanted to call a cab to take him the rest of the way. His
response: “Are you crazy? I have come all this way, and you think I could take
a cab the last bit?” I think whether we are at the beginning or toward the end
of our goals, the only answer we need is if it is worth it for us. If our goals
or pursuits make us better, and bring us closer to God - or they are something
we want - don’t quit. Chase what is most important. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">That was
also super cool because I got to see a ton of my friends here, and I got a full
family pic of my sons/grandson in the mission. I’ll throw that in here
too. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We had
some cool experiences when finding recently. One of my favorites is E. He is
from China, and moved to Italy because he is a convert to Christianity. I
talked to him on a bus, and he was so excited to hear about the gospel from
us. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">G and C
are still awesome. In fact, C got into my Italian genealogy, and because of her
vast knowledge of law, she revealed to me that I am the last generation of my
ancestors to be able to claim my Italian citizenship. So pretty soon I’m gonna
hit up my Italian passport and become an Italian. Pretty cool huh? That means
my kids can claim Italian citizenship too. Two thumbs up for C. 👍🏻👍🏻<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This
Sunday was fast Sunday, and President Pickerd came to our church. It was held
in Terni, because right now that is where we do fast Sundays. It was cool,
because after the meeting we had food and got to get to know some of the
members here. G and C came and also got to go see the new chapel that will soon
be done in Terni. They are excited because that is where they will be
baptized. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anyways
guys, don’t quit. Love you.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="background: white; color: black;">Hey fam!</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was crazy, but next week will be crazier, I’m positive of it. I got to meet a
ton of sick investigators that we have, and even found some in the process. In
the madness of it we also had a sweet District Meeting, which felt really good
because I got the whole district involved in it. I love being a District Leader
with so many great missionaries here. I’ll give a quick overview of who we
have. There is my companionship; then we have Anziani Osmond and Allred of
Perugia B; the Zone Leaders in Terni - Anziani Farinotti and Daniels; Terni B -
Anziani Bentley and Huntsman; and the SISTERS OF TERNI who just opened the area
to Sisters - Sorella Taylor and Worth. All amazing missionaries. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
I got the amazing opportunity to meet with the R family, the F family, and G and
C! The R family is a member family. Their daughter served a mission and is so cool.
Right now we have been discussing the importance of faith with them.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The F family is one of the coolest Italian families I’ve met. They are investigating
and in their family there are A, M, An, L, and J. They are super awesome and
love to talk about Jesus. They live in Assisi, a city nearby which is famous
because it is stunning. I’ll send some pics. Hopefully we can help them to get
closer to Christ through the baptismal covenant. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Oh boy, G
and C. They are probably two of my favorite people on the planet. I met them
about a month ago while on a scambio in Ascoli. They are almost completely
converted already to the gospel. They are both lawyers and are so smart. I
think I have never met two people more cultured than this couple. History: they
know it; Art: they know it; Law: they know it; Science: they know it. Just
completely fantastic. We hope to be able see them coming closer to Christ
through the baptismal covenant as soon as the new Terni chapel opens!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Ok, I’ll
let you in on some crazy. So this week, I’m going to get my new Greenie. Anziano
Wijesundera is gonna go home and do his darndest to help his whole family
accept the gospel (along with his army of friends that he left there). My new
companion is Anziano Hughes, whom I don’t know yet, but will meet tomorrow.
This means I have the largest posterity in the mission (in the sense of number
of people trained by an Elder... crazy, right?). President just loves to mess
with me, hahahha. The third son!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
also will be the “mission tour,” which is sort of like a mission conference,
except Sicily gets left out,</span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;"> hahha. So we have a sweet (Norwegian?) Seventy who
will come and instruct us. That means I’ll have a full “Ridd family missionary
tree” picture for next week. Get hype! And I get to see all my companions in
the mission, hahaha. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So this
will be crazy! I am so excited to turn Perugia into a branch! President Pickerd
and I have been working together a lot to make it happen and make it structured
here. #makeperugiagreat<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Love you
all, <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hey guys!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was soooo pack with stuff. I mean, PACKED. This email is a small attempt to
explain what has been going on. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">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. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">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!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Then J,
one of the sisters' investigators, was baptized! So we got the chance to
witness that and congratulate her on following Jesus Christ. And right after, K
passed his interview for baptism and next weekend he will also be making
promises with God. We all are excited!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Following
the baptism of J, we had a ward talent show. It was magnificent. Let’s just say
that after every talent show, I feel so much love for the members and happiness
to serve with them. They are so talented. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So as an
appetizer to our mission conference this week with Elder Ballard, he did a
broadcast for the whole European area Sunday night, which was awesome. He is an
apostle of Jesus Christ. Anyways, I wanted to share a bit from what he said
because I loved it. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Elder
Ballard invited us to heed Jesus Christ’s advice to Joseph Smith to “be still
and know that I am God.” <i>(Doctrine and Covenants 101:16; see also Psalm 46:10)</i>.
With that, he shared an experience he had when he sought to follow the will of
God and was led to ask a blessing upon the land of Ethiopia. Because of that, the
drought that was in the land was broken, and every day he was in Ethiopia it
rained. He goes on to say that this had nothing to do to him; it had to do with
his willingness to seek the will of God and believe in miracles. He then said
something that I have realized here in the mission: The greatest miracle is the
miracle of accepting the gospel of Jesus Christ. I realized that if we seek the
will of God, He will always lead us to people who are ready to accept His word,
and we will see the miracles in their lives. I hope we all choose to help someone
accept the gospel this week, and help bring a fullness of joy into our lives
and theirs. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I love
you all a ton! Believe in miracles, and take time to know the Lord and his
will.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507562905093_15609" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week was pretty good, and it was just full of hard work. Sometimes the work truly is just hard for a bit, but when you have a great companion like Anziano McConkie it’s always fun. </span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507562905093_15610" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyways, this week we made good progress with K. He is working on being baptized pretty soon, and is learning a ton every day as he is reading the Book of Mormon. Sadly, it seems we have been cursed during the last week with a lot of people who either broke their phones or lost them...that doesn’t help the work, to say the least.</span></div>
<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507562905093_15612" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white;">

<div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1507562905093_15613" style="-webkit-padding-start: 0px; background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But we trust in the Lord. For example, the curse also included us. Last P-day, at the end, we realized we had lost our phone. After a couple of minutes of searching at home, Anziano McConkie and I looked at each other and both received an answer to where it was at the same time...the beach. So we quickly left to go find it, and what do ya know, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">it was on the beach, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">just where we imagined it. Thank goodness we trusted that quick prompting though, because a missionary is nearly powerless without a phone now days. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Some experiences we have had recently have made me reflect on the thought - Trust in the Lord. I have seen in my life, when things don’t go as “planned” or the “way we wanted” we have 2 options. Show faith and go on with a good attitude and turn to the Lord for the answers we don’t have, or be miserable and stop progressing. As we trust in the Lord every day - in the little things - we see miracles. When you get stood up at a lesson, it’s easy to get upset or annoyed. The hard thing to do is trust He has a plan for you that hour...a plan that will bless your life or someone else's life. I’ve seen this so many times first-hand, so next time you feel things are not going right, look around. See if you can bless the life of someone else and trust in the Lord.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This week was super sick due to General Conference. I'm writing late, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">because not only did we see conference, we also had zone conference </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">yesterday.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">So the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles has decided we need to turn our </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">presence on social media from a trickle - which it is right now - </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">into a flood. This was a big topic of zone conference. We are now </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">authorized to use Facebook and share the gospel through it. This is </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">great because it will help so much here in Italy. The miracle of it </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">though, is it has no bounds. It has the opportunity for limitless good </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and to connect and contact nearly 2 billion people with Facebook </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">accounts. We also have no boundaries as a mission. If someone </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">wants to know what I am doing out here, and wants to know what I am teaching, or would like to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">come closer to Christ, we can Skype and teach the first lesson to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">those people with our mission president's permission. I guess that's an </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">invite for you! If you want to, send me a message, and we might be able to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">work something out.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'm very excited for this, but General Conference is always my favorite </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">weekend of the year. So I'm going to chat about that. First of all, we </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">are led by a prophet today who receives revelation from Christ himself </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">to guide us. Second, I know the Quorum of the 12 are true Apostles of </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">the Lord, and speak 100% truth. And third, being true to my childhood nickname</span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">, "sunshine boy," I love light. President Uchtdorf talked about </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">how the Light of Christ is always shining, but sometimes there are </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">times of darkness. But like night, we don't just assume that the sun </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">is no longer there; we know there is a shadow, and the sun will come </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">out. I know that the light of Christ is always shining, and like the </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">earth, we need to be in the right position to feel His warmth and </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">love. <i><span style="color: magenta;">To listen to this awesome talk, please click <a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2017/10/media/session_3_talk_7/5594565577001?lang=eng" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></i></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="font-size: small;"><br />Hey
Family!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="font-size: small;">This week
was exciting with the opening of the first church building in Pescara.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="font-size: small;">Our
awesome investigators made some good progress this week. One awesome thing that
happened is L, the footballer from Liberia, totally did a five day fast to get
his answer if the church is true. He is now running down the path to baptism.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="font-size: small;">Also the
opening of the church happened this week. It was amazing. The members in this
area have been faithful for so long and worked very hard, and are now seeing
some of the fruit of the labor. With the opening, we had the full stake
presidency there and also President Pickerd. Then we had a ton of investigators
and non-members from the area show up. The chapel was full, and it was a great sight.
Pescara sta crescendo!!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="font-size: small;">A
highlight I had is that IG and B showed up. B looked like a Laurel, hahahah.
She and IG stayed all 3 hours and loved it. The other youth were awesome in
friendshipping them. All in all, it was a very wonderful and historical moment
in Pescara.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="font-size: small;">This
upcoming week is General Conference. It will be super cool, </span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: small;">because
right before, we have a zone conference. So I'm getting ready for some spiritual
TNT. Go listen to the prophets speak this weekend!! <i><span style="color: #3d85c6;">Click </span><a href="https://www.lds.org/general-conference/live-viewing-times-and-options?lang=eng" target="_blank"><span style="color: purple;">here</span></a><span style="color: #3d85c6;"> to listen or watch inspiring talks from General Conference, held this Saturday, 9/30 & Sunday, 10/1.</span></i></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Helvetica Neue";"><span style="font-size: small;">And
finally, Sunday night we ended with fufu night with A, </span></span><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: small;">L, and F.
For those who are not educated in African cuisine, fufu is a very famous
African dish that consists of fufu (a dough made from pounded yam) and soup
(depends on the style). We had okra soup and fufu made by the wonderful chef, F.
It was delicious and an extremely interesting experience. I recommend it, if
you ever get the chance.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hey guys!!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week was a rollercoaster ride. But like any
rollercoaster, there </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">are ups and downs, but if you are a fan of the unexpected
you </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">definitely finished satisfied. And so...let's go for a ride.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">At the beginning of this week, along with our investigators
that we </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">have been teaching for the past few weeks, we picked up a
few new ones </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">for whom I am very excited. On Tuesday night, we called up
out buddy </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">LU. We played some b ball, then taught him about the
restoration of </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">the Gospel of Jesus Christ. He was pretty dang interested
and decided</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">to give it a try. When we met him at the church a few days
later, he </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">was a fireball. He had read and prayed and had some great
questions. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We taught him about how he can grow in faith and learn the
truth using </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Alma 32 and it hit him. He said as he read the scriptures he
felt at </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">complete peace and all warm. He continued to describe and
eventually </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">said, "It is like someone took a needle and stabbed me
in the heart... </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">but it's not the pain part." The spirit of God like a
big old needle. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Did I mention that this guy is 17, speaks English, Japanese,
Italian, </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">and Spanish, he raps in Spanish and Italian, he beatboxes,
he is a </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">cook in cooking school, and is a professional magician? And
we met </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">this Cuban friend balling up at the park. What. A. Stud. (Click <a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/32.21" target="_blank">here</a> to read Alma 32). </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We also have some sick other new people, like AL, but maybe
I'll </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">include more down the line for these guys.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">So all week, I was straight up hyped for Friday. Friday was
the day MK returned to Pescara. Or so we thought. As we were organizing </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">appointments with MK, we realized that he was planning on
coming to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Pescara later... which meant some problems because he needed
a</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">baptismal interview to be baptized next week. Well, as we
talked with </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">him and his father more, we learned that Mark had changed
his </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">decision. But thank goodness it was only his decision to
live with his </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">mom here in Pescara, not baptismal decision. He is getting residency </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">in Rome, so he will be where I met him the first time, in
Rome 1 and </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">will be baptized there! I'm excited, but of course there's
always that </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">part of me that wishes to see him get baptized. He will be
in Pescara </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">this week though, so we will get to see him and show him the
NEW </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">CHURCH!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">The new church is so amazing. Guys, there is a DRINKING FOUNTAIN
in the church. That's some state of the art stuff right there. It's beautiful
and I can't wait to fill it this Sunday!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">What touched me the most this week was that three of our
investigators </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">had some of the most sincere prayers to find the truth.
That's very </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">important, because an eternal truth is that if you ask with
real intent, and seek, then you will ALWAYS find. These investigators will always
receive an answer to know that the Book of Mormon is true as long as they
continue to pray with sincerity and read the Book of Mormon. I know that to be
true, and to be true always.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">I love y'all tons!!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">PS - My companion (an amazing singer) and our investigator
(who is an </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">amazing piano player) put on a mini impromptu show in the
center </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">piazza of Pescara. There was a large crowd and a great
opportunity to </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">share the gospel. He became the popstar of Pescara that
night.</span><br />

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Hey fam!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Wow,
these weeks go by pretty quick. This week was pretty awesome and </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">full of
success. Let's look forward a bit. MK gets home this Friday </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">from
Rome, where the other missionaries were teaching him, and is </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">excited
for his baptism the week afterward! This next Sunday is our </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">last in
the old chapel, and then we go to the new chapel.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
we met with some great investigators, and even gave a few </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">some
baptismal dates. LA and KE are two guys from Africa who are making great
progress toward Jesus Christ and membership in his </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">church.
They came to church and loved it too. We have a bunch of other </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">investigators
who are progressing well. We also gave a bunch of our</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">investigators
to the sisters, because they are girls and they can </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">teach
them better than we can. :)</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
I was asked to give a talk. Often this happens and they just </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">assume
I'll talk about missionary work, but this time I was given an </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">assignment
to speak on MODESTY! So yeah...I talked about modesty </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">while the
other talks were about the Book of Mormon...I'm a little </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">bit
confused still, but - go modesty!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">A sick miracle
happened this week. AR, an investigator from the </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Philippines,
moved into Pescara so it's now way easier to meet and </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">come to
church! It's so awesome, because he is searching hard for the </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">truth.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">That's
all for this week! Love y'all!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today was
the last day in Italy for my sisters (MTC group). That means </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">that it's
been 1 1/2 years since the MTC. Sometimes it's crazy to see </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">how far
we have come.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">This week
was cool. We taught a good amount and have been always doing work. I went on a
scambio with Anziano Mayer this week. He is a stud from Missouri. We enjoyed
our time together and the opportunity we had to work.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">Today,
for Pday, we went to a little town called Ortona. It was pretty </span></span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">dang
awesome and we saw the castle there. It also has the church where </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">the
apostle Thomas was buried. So I'll attach a bunch of sweet pictures so y'all
can see what I have been up to.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; font-size: small;">We taught
the plan of salvation this week. I always had liked to divide the lesson up
into three parts: Where did we come from, Why we are here, and Where we are
going. Logical right? Anyways, this week I have been feeling that the plan of
salvation can be taught in a different way. So this week, we taught the plan of
salvation completely centered on Jesus Christ and his purpose. I learned a lot
from it and it was very effective. One thing I learned is that many people
don't know why Jesus Christ is our Savior. In fact, a lot of people don't know
why we have need of a Savior. So, take some time this week and think - why do you
have need of Jesus Christ? What did He do for you? I know that He saved us from
inevitable death - of the physical and spiritual sort - and through Him we
receive the strength to change and progress. Only through Him can we receive
the power to overcome these things.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The theme
of the last few days is that everything around me is </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">breaking,
faster than I can fix it. This week I had a clogged sink, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">broken
bed, and shirts. I started to fix the problems - I fixed the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">pipes
under the sink, readjusted the bed, fixed a shower, and bleached the shirts.
Turns out the curse runs deeper, because the bed broke again in a different
way, I ripped a pair of suit pants, broke plates, pots, and the buttons of
everything I own are unsewing themselves (collar buttons are killing me).
Anyways, let's hope bodies don't get involved with the rampage and less things

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">So real
quick, the work is going really well. We have had a sick </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">miracle
with a guy named IG. Here is his story. While finding, </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Anziano
McConkie and I were on a bus. We saw guy around 20 years old, and we struck up
a conversation. He was Brazilian and pretty nice. We didn't think anything of
it, because he didn't seem that interested in religious things. The next day, we
saw him again with one of his friends, who called us over to them and asked
us to teach them and touch their hearts. We taught a few basic principles while
testifying, but before getting their number, they had to run and catch a bus.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">The
following day, Anziano McConkie and I prayed to find IG again. As we went out
to find that day, we talked to a small family on a bench, whom we made eye
contact with. We asked their names, and the first thing that came out of the
mouth of the 16 year-old boy was...IG. Not the same IG, a different one. Five
minutes into the conversation, we knew the Lord had led us here to meet and
teach this IG and his girlfriend. This boy has nothing but a hard life at this point,
and has had massive trials in self-worth. As we talked, these people were pretty
much begging us to teach them the good gospel standards. The next day, we met
again to give them Books of Mormon and teach them a bit about the
restaurazione. <i>(The Restoration). </i><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">God is our Father and He knows us. If we need help, like our friend IG, He will provide help for us. When we have a question, He will give an answer. Ask and ye
shall receive, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you.
