Ciao Tutti!! dont worry im still here and
alive!! i have been really busy with the work here.....and figuring
other things out. but im doing good! here is the update for me!
City: Pesaro (still...)
Comp: Anz. Cortes (hes from New Jersey)
Transfer: 12
District:
im still the district leader...but my district changed. we got put with
another city called Rimini, its a really cool city. much closer than
Ancona
this past week was really awesome! i got
to go back to Firenze!! wahoo! we had a conference with a member of the
70 Elder Fingerle....he basically talked to us about what elder bednar
said in a world wide broadcast....about using technology to push forward
missionary work. and we were all thinking "are we getting ipads??" but
thats not that case haha. our mission isnt ready for that yet haha. but
its a good idea to have us use the members to do it themselves...so we
are going to do out best to have our members share mormon messages...and
post stuff from conferences....im just hoping that they translate more
messages for us. the have some but not any of the new ones....so its
kind of difficult. technology can be a blessing or a temptation...it all
depends on how we use it.
then this sat i
will be going to Prato (which was my first city!!) because we are having
a stake conference!! it has been over a year since i have been
there...im really excited! ill let you all know how that goes next
week.
the branch is doing good here...this
place is like another family haha. i have so many families its ridculous
haha. but thats whats so great about missions, you realize we're all
part of one eternal family!
who are we
teaching?: his name is christian.....he has a bapt date and we are
preparing him for that, hes about 25 and hes from nigeria. but he is a
kid whos mind of the world. but our big focus these past weeks is to
prepare our priesthood holders to get the Melchisedic Preisthood.
because we have a lot of eligble men....they just need to learn and
prepare themselves.
how im holding up? im
doing good, id be lying if i said i dont get stressed or frustrated or
disappointed. but i have still so many moments when i can say im
blessed, happy and grateful. these past two weeks i read the whole book
of matthew. it was really good! all of us are fishers of men, we must
all develope charity, we must humble ourselves and become like a little
child if we want to learn and do the things necessary to enter in the
kingdom of heaven. Jesus Christ was a perfect Man, Teacher, Leader,
Example, Brother, and was the Son of God. i know that he lives and he
atoned for our sinces. im grateful for the light he brings into my life
and missionary work. im far from perfect and still make mistakes...but i
know that through him we all can be cleansed, find peace and joy and
return to our heavenly father.
