conference with anz. Bednar!!! im so excited! i have never met an
apostle before (: Our mission is now getting ipads.... -__- but i wont be
here to use them because i go home 4 weeks after the conference...and
they have to do a lot of things first before the give them out. but its
cool....how can i be jealous of something i never had right?<br />
<div>
<br /></div>

<div style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
Its true anziano andersen is
getting transfered!!! it seems the time has gone by so quick! these past
three months flew so quick! we have some of the best memories of my
missiion together....but im really excited because he is my flight buddy
haha. hes going off to be a district leader and im staying here as zone
leader. my new comp is anz. tolman...i dont know much about him....solo
that hes from idaho and is going into his 13 transfer. im starting my
15.....this is the transfer i get my customs letter haha. im really
excited though about this transfer! we have a lot of stuff to do! and
there are a lot of new people in the zone that im really excited to

the zone haha! so this should be a really fun transfer! </div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

of our inv. so when my new comp. comes we are going to have to start
from the bottom....they all had weird reasons...but in the end it was
their agency...we still have contact with them and will do the best we
can to keep givving them interest. </div>
<div style="font-size: 12.8000001907349px;">

<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">so this city is really weird and something im not really used too....its
really cool i have a car but i have to wait to drive until i have
consiglio....we are also really busy all the time which definietly a
change for me. but me and my comp work really good together. are
teaching is very well and we just know how to get things done. we are
both really good with the language and being outgoing....its a really
cool experience. and we get a long really well. so i found out i know
his cousin by the way....trey branham whos in costa rica. so its a small
world haha. but i do have to admit we get a trunk fest going on
sometimes because we both go home at the same time haha. and we're from
arizona so we talk about home a lot haha. but its okay...it doesnt get
us distracted from the work! </span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">so this week has been
just me learning how to be a zone leader. which im really excited
about...most importantly its just more numbers haha. but its cool! being
a district leader has helped me a lot with all this stuff. so it was
sad saying by to everyone in pesaro...i miss them a whole lot :( because
i came here when they opened a companionship of sisters....so honestly i
havent had the biggest welcome here in this ward.....everyone cares a
lot about the sisters and im just shunned.....in a way its kind of
depressing but im not letting that bring me down...im just trying my
best to build a good relationship with the members by myself.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">the
weather is of course cold. wet. and cloudy all the time.....its a huge
bummer! but im not a lone when i complain about the weather haha. my
apartment is really cool and fun! we all get along so well and its a
blast! we joke all the time. also the sisters in the ward are so cool
also! one is brand new and is learning italian...which makes me laugh
sometimes because i used to be like that....it really shows how much
progress i have made in the past year and a half. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">things
are getting ready for natale! which is going to be fun! we're having a
dinner on saturday which should be really fun! its my chance to make
good friends with all the members. its crazy to thing this is my last
city! which is what we all think...its not certain but we can most
likely assume this will be my last city.....im so happy to be a
missionario here in italia! i have loved every single minute of my
mission and i am going to continue to push forward the work as best as i
can. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">a cool miracle we had was two people
from brasile came and we tought them already two lessons...and they came
to church for the first time! we had 4 new people in church this past
week! it was such a cool miracle! i know this church is true and when we
work hard heavenly father will bless us, i know he knows us better than
we think....and if we put our effort in he will make up the rest. vi
voglio bene! ciao!!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><b>HO COMPIUTO 21 ANNI!!</b></span><br />
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">mamma mia i cant believe i have
21 years haha. its really crazy!! so much has happened this past year,
in tanto age is just a number, the importance is how you act. you need
to take the experience you have growing up and everyday and use it to
better your life. but i im so excited, growing up i would expect to be
here in italy for my 21st birthday haha. im so blessed to be here!! but i
have been so busy! man what a week!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">okay
so for Thanksgiving (il giorno di ringraziamento) we had a little party!
it was really awesome!! especially since i planned the whole thing in
two days haha. and i made a Pumpkin Pie! it was like the one that moms
know how to make, but being in italia and having to do everything by
scratch i think i did really good. except the crust was really
salty...but everyone was very nice and said it was good anyway haha. i
guess there's always christmas!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">we have been so busy lately its insane!! the last few weeks of the transfer have been flying! we found out <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_463773292" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">this sat</span></span>.
if im going to get transferred....its a bittersweet. i really want to
see a new city! but i have build such strong relationships with everyone
here its going to be really sad to leave. but i know God has a plan for
me, and i know im need somewhere else in italy to help continue
bringing souls unto christ. but who knows, i could stay here haha.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">so
i probably havent told you guys but im the second counselor in the branch
here, we dont have enough people for another counselor, and because im
older as a missionary and in age i have been second counselor. but last
sunday was the first time i had to sit up at the podium haha, it was
really weird lol.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">cool thing, we had a scambio
this week, i was with Anz. Giles, and he taught me how to read and play
the piano....of course its going to take a lot of practice...but i have
the basics down and i can practice, so hopefully in 6 months when i get
home i can play something...im also practicing my singing so i can stop
sounding like a dying horse haha. hopefully i improve lol. then last
night we had inglish class! it was really fun! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">so
i have made almost everyones dream when they come to italy, beside
coming to italy, i have made good friends with 2 pizza places! haha,
they are so awesome! im going to miss them! haha im so thankful we live
in a world with Facebook haha, we can always have contact with our
friends from the mission(:</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">i love being a
missionary! i couldnt picture myself anywhere else in the world! i love
being a representative of Jesus Christ, i love wearing his name on my
chest everyday, and being called Anziano Orso haha. this past year a
half has been so crazy, and i have grown and changed a lot! its really
insane! and now im 21!! when did that happen, i feel like i just
graduated high school haha. life goes way to fast to just be lazy and
throw it away, we need to live life to the fullest and do the best we
can grow spiritually and mentally, im grateful for my savior and his
sacrifice. and im grateful for my heavenly father who cares so much
about us, we just need to open our eyes and look at all the blessing he
gives us. :) grazie a tutti, thanks to everyone for all that you do for
me! thanks for the prayers and birthday wished!! i want a sack of good
for your all!! ciao!!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">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!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">City: Pesaro (still...)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">Comp: Anz. Cortes (hes from New Jersey)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">Transfer: 12</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">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</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">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. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">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. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">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! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">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. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">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. </span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">this week i did a scambio with anz. stringfellow, hes fresh out of the MTC so hes been in italy for about 5 weeks haha. its so funny and he makes me laugh so much...just because hes new and getting into the hang of things. makes me remember when i was a greenie and all new haha. we had a serata familiare with almost the entire branch! it was so fun!! i laught so much i couldn breathe. and scambio was funny too becuse i dont think stringfellow really knows how to ride a bike...and if he does not used to riding on a bike in traffic haha. becuase he crashed into me three times and almost went right into the middle of the intersection.....it was interesting haha. </span></div>
<div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">the mission is awesome!!! i count my blessings everyday and so happy for this chance i have to serve the Lord! Temples are amazing!! and its as close to heaven on earth!! life lesson i learned this week: i never completely understood how the spirit is so strong when your in the service of your fellow man. charity is really one of the biggest attributes of christ that works miracle! and this experience will forever be with me. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">another amazing week in the Pesaro Italia! i love being in this country!!! words cannot describe how much my love has grown for these people here.....even though at times it may be difficult i truly love these people. and thankful for every opportunity i have to serve them. this week was really busy! had two scambios with missionaries! i went to Ancona and Ravenna! so cool and loved every minute of my time there.</span><br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">not much really happened this week!!! just went and did missionary work to be honest! we set a goal to talk to a lot more people to get more investigators! a huge blessing this week was Ricky our bapt date came to conference! wahoo! it was really good and we really liked it.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">cool story this week! there are a lot of people here who smoke....so i made a goal to get cigarettes from people...but tell them its bad not just ask for a cigarete. well this guy we were talking to agreed with us and i asked if i could have his pack of cigarets and on the secong time i asked he said yes! wahoo! made my goal lol. dude gave me a whole pack! crazy! but i saved his life a few days lol. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">the work here is amazing!!! me and my comp had a really good correlation with our ward mission leader...its tough at times because our branch is the smallest branch in the entire stake! so its a lot of work for us....but we helped him realize that its not just us that can do it.....missionaries and members need to work together! it was really good. he told "wow anziani i really feel the spirit telling me that everything you've just told me we need to do" it was a really good meeting....and i felt the spirit really strong. because as missionaries we are in a city for a while...and we give all our heart into the city, people, and members....and we want them to be really good when we all leave, we say leave the city better than you found it. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">conference was stupendo!! i loved all the talks....how cool was it that we were given the translation in english for few talks this time? i love how the church is letting speakers talk in their own native tongue!! now more people are probly going to be able to talk! the church is growing! my favorite part was how they talked about the importance of having a profet! and how we all need to sustain and support him, i know that thomas s monson is called of God, and we all need to know that as the world changes Gods laws dont....and conference helps each of us everytime remember that. but also shows us that the changing in the world can be used for pushing the work of the Lord forward!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">i have had really amazing lessons this week with our simps! where the spirit has been so strong and we all share our testimonies! and they lessons have ended with baptismal dates(: wahoo! i mean who can so no when the spirit is so thick your whole body is numb and relaxed haha. i can really see myself stretching here! probly one of the most stretches i have in my entire mission. of course i can always improve everyday... im far from perfect. but the changes i have made in my life and the blessings i have seen from it is amazing! and i thank Heavenly father everyday, and all your support for this. im a changed person....im still Dominic, but im becoming the Dominic that Heavenly father wants me to be and who i know i need to be. missionaries are amazing! the church is True! Italia is beautiful! how lucky are we to have the full Gospel! vi voglio un sacco di bene! ci sentiamo!! ciao!!<br /></span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /><br />ciao
amici miei!! man this week has been crazy!!! being sick for almost a
week we have busy trying to see all of our investigators that we havent
been able to see. that was the worst sickness i have ever had on the
mission...but im all good now! one of the things that i have realized is
how important it is to stay healthy on the mission....and give your
body the rest it needs. because if your just pushing yourself a lot that
fine...but when your push to much...then you get sick and you cant do
nothing....so its not worth it. but im grateful for the blessing that my
banch president gave me.....1. first blessing i have gotten in italian
2. i felt the spirit really strong and i love our branch president so
much!!! hes a really awesome guy!<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">Thur. we finally
recovered enough to go outside and meet withs some of our investigators.
but it was tough to be honest....no energy to ride my bike haha. but we
did it...and it was good. <br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">fri: we did our weekly
planning and went to go to see our inv. in a city called Fano! which a
really cool old italian city.....they have one famous road that leads to
Roma! its kind of like our Route 66. and there are a lot of old
buildings and castles there...next time ill take fotos and show you
guys! it was really cool. we also went to the doctor.<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">sun:
we had church! and i had to give a talk....i thought it was good haha. i
gave a talk on the prophet jospeh smith! and my comp gave a talk too
haha. i swear every sun. me and my comp are part of the sacrament
meeting haha.....either hes talking or im talking haha.<br /><br />mon: we
had district meeting! which i have to say im really freakin excited for
this transfer!! all the anziani are so awesome!! and this transfer we
are doing a harry potter themed transfeR!! yup you heard right haha.
this is my third transfer as district leader in the same city! so to
keep me excited and coming up with new ideas i need to be creative haha
and all the 4 houses are in italian of course...we are in italia! haha
and i did an exchange with anz. Beaulac who is from canada....and hes
from the part that speaks french....so he tried to teach me a few
things.....i didnt succeed haha.<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">tues. we had our
inglish class and thats pretty much it.....we call that Pday eve and its
when we get excited ha party it up alittle haha<br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">today:
we went to a country....yes i said country named San Marino! its this
little country in the middle of italia haha. its so cool!! but all the
rules of italia dont apply there....and the day we went they were having
a little festival! they were changing their president.....so we saw
their new president and they had a marching band and eveyrthing haha. it
was a really cool experience.....too bad the weather wasnt really that
great. but theres always next time haha.<br /></span></div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">anyway thanks
fgor all the prayers!! im better now and ready to continue doing the
work of the lord!!! i love everything about my mission!!! i couldnt ask
for a better mission. and i love all the members and all my inv. hope

<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">ciao!! how
is everything!!! this week has been a little chaotic!! but it was
really good!!! so for the weekend we had a lot of rain.....so it was a
huge bummer for all of us, because we're not fans of going around in the
rain everywhere. but it was okay. <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_118784960" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">this sunday</span></span>
was really good!! we had a few talks in church that were very
spiritual....and then we went to the branch presidents house for
lunch....hes really awesome!!! and then we went to the villajuans later
that day and they gave us dinner.....most meals i have ever had in a
day! so far since i have been here. then <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_118784961" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">monday</span></span>
we had zone conference. and we went (drum roll.......) Firenze!!!
wahooo!!! i missed it so much!! its such an awesome city!!! one of my
favorite cities in all of italy!!! and the best part was i got to ride
first class on the train!!! i tell you traveling in style is the coolest
things....and we got complimentary drinks haha. it was really cool.
yesterday i did an exchange with anziano pugsley, which i have alreay
done one with him in milano!! it was really cool because him and i are a
lot alike haha. so it was a fun scambio, we taught english class and
did all that good stuff. and then our branch pres., took us to go get
gelato! so good!! im in love with gelato!! and pizza! its going to be
weird going back to america and not eating food like this. so im going
to have eat as much as i can these next 8 months! so we think anz. moa
is going to be transfered :( we'll find out in about two weeks!! this
transfer is flying! its insane!! </span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">our teaching pool is good, we had a simp come to
church for the firs time last week!! wahoo! his name is christian! he
was really cool, of course we know it takes time to do stuff. but its
all good. everything will work out. we are seeing him later this week. <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">the
other day we got yelled at by an american....:( he started making fun
of us and telling us we're pathetic and that we should go home, and that
we are bunch of horrible people...and what we are doing is a loser
thing to do.....but its okay, because he was bashing us, and then i
asked him....well what do you believe, and he said i dont, im
athiest....and i said well that why you dont believe in anything we say.
it was better to not argue, because i believe in god and he
doesnt....so we wouldnt ahve resolved anything. but its cool!! moments
like these grow my testimony.....and i know God exists! and that
knowledge and testimony i have no one can take away(: </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">ciao!!! come state tutti??? so this has been a really crazy week in my mission.....so much has happened that its hard to explain it...but i will say i feel really blessed right now to have the companion i have, and thats im here in Pesaro right now. i have such a strong testimony for my comp. right now, and the strength that he has, one of the things thats i love about him. and im so glad that heavenly father has made me his comp, even though i cant compare his experiences to mine, or how hes feeling, but i have been able to help learn the things it took me a while to learn a lot faster. and it has been really tough because im seeing this happen on another side, another perspective. but its still not fun, because someone you love and care about is in pain. but i know that all will be okay. i can explaine how blessed i am to have him as my comp. we have moments togethr where its really tough for me because i just know how hes feeling, and its deja vu all over again for me. but i know heavenly father has put us together for a reason, and its so comforting to know that he knows us, and has a plan for all of us. this is a testimony to me that i know im suppose to be here right now at this time. and it has made me so thankful and greatful for the plan of salvation. my comp Anz. Moa is so awesome!!! and i ask you to pray for him and his family....because he needs to think about a lot of things this next week....and it gets me nervous, but i want him to stay, but what ever deciusion he makes ill support him cento per cento!!</span><br />

<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">but anyway this week was also filled with good things!!! but first i only think its appropriate that i explain a little bit our baptism!! allora! so it was not my fault in the beginning, because he wasnot getting baptized in the first place, and then it all happened so sudden and quick it was hard to rememebr all the things i wanted to say. but his name is Prince, and hes about 35 hes from Nigeria, hes really cool! such an awesome person....and he really loves us, its the funniest thing because he cant even say my name......its four letters but for some reason he cant seem to do it....dont worry, im getting him to practice it everytime we meet haha. and the funny story about how he chose me to baptize him....well we were planning his baptism and we asked him who he wanted to baptize him and he said his exact words "i want the white man to baptize me, so it shows on my record i was baptized by a white guy" so me and my comp looked at our skins, hes hawaiian, and everyone else in our branch is peruvian.....so that was me...but he was happy about it, and i was blessed to do it. Anz. Moa gave him the Holy Ghost. and now hes getting the Priesthood in a couple of weeks!! wahoo!! im so happy how this branch is going lately. we're really doing our bestt o build the branch, so they dont alway need us missionaries doing everying. we're really important in this branch, which is good, but its our calling to help sustain them. and we're seeing a lot of success with that. </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">other than that i have had a good week!!! we have a lot of work we still want to do! im praying everyday for my comp. and that heavenly father blesses us with miracles!! but i know that i have been blessed so much on my mission already!! and im so grateful! </span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">so nothing is really changing here for me! this is transfer week and me and Anz. moa are staying together!! but im losing a whole bunch of friends, they're all finishing their missions, :( all the girls who left after the age change. so all these girls left on missions. now they are now finishing their missions. and this week starting the first group of girls going home.....in December the sisters that came with me go home....then ill have 5 months left!! crazy! i realized my missions is flying by a lot quicker than i thought it would haha. when you have a leadership position and you know people going home your mission just flies! but its okay, i know there is still a lot that i can do, and i have to do.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">i have a lot to do this transfer as district leader.....i have to write a report on the work not only in my branch, but also in another city ancona. but cool news! nothing is really changing this transfer in my district, but one missionary is leaving, and we're getting Anz. Puggsley! he was in my district in milano, and he was comps with my comp right now. so it'll be really cool to do an exchange with him. we're are doing a lot of finding this transfer because our teaching pool is dropping, but we got a lot of referals this week, so we're going to be busy contacting them this week. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">well we have been having some ups and downs with our simps. one was suppose to be baptized last week, but went into the hospital, because he went blind for a couple of days. he got out and we were going to baptize him the next week, well we decided to pass by him and right then we saw him light a cigarette. and we were like "what the heck! he said he doesn't really have a problem, but now we have to make sure he stops smoking for good. the other ones are good, a lot of problems here with the law of chastity and word of wisdom! and they worst part is some people don't think its wrong. so we have to work with this kind of stuff all the time. but all is good and we're pushing forward! i have high hopes for this transfer. im starting trasnfer 10 of 16 next week....weird haha. ti voglio bene!! ciao!!</span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; color: #444444;"><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">this week i have been on the road let say! i did 2 exchanges, and had to travel for all of them. then </span><span class="aBn" data-term="goog_1512521213" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">on monday</span></span><span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> we had interviews with president. man im so tired of trains haha. we dont have cars so we have bikes, trains, and buses haha. wahoo for public transportation...especially during strikes!! NOT! thats the worst part of having to rely on them haha. but trains make it real easy to talk to people! because when you sit next to them, they cant run haha. not trying to sound like we try to trap them haha. </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="color: #444444;">we started a new finding method, there is a book called my family, its about genalogy, its fun and easy! and as missionaries we had to make a book ourselves. so now we take this around with us to go finding, its fun because we just talk about families with people, and some even show us fotos of theirs! because i have fotos on mine. gotta love how clever the lord is in helping find new ways to find people! </span></span></div>

<span style="background-color: #cccccc; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">i love my new area!!! its so pretty!! and next to the sea!!! and the weather isnt that bad, because we get the cool sea breeze!! we dont get really rain here, and if we do, its for about an hour and then the sky is all clear again haha. i love my comp. his name is anz. Moa. hes from hawaii, but we knew each other in Milano, so it was cool to learn i was going to be comps with him! the lessons are good, we have a lot of simps. but non really progressing, so we teach a lot, but i get frustrating with people sometimes.....cant control their agency. but its a good way to help me grow. and being district leader has given me a lot more responsibilities that i now have to be more focused, with my work and the work of my district! but i love it, the missionaries here are awesome!!! im making good friends!! there isnt really less actives here, and the ones that are, we are talking to them already haha. btw we have a really old apartment, about 15 yr. ago they had church in our living room haha. funny. but thanks for eerything and all the love and support!!! ti voglio bene!! the key board is making it hard to write a lot. talk to you later!! ciao!!</span>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07733875279479039021noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5577373315260895641.post-67868278201318469022014-07-06T22:54:00.002-07:002014-07-06T22:54:52.655-07:00Anziano Orso Letter July 2, 2014<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">Ciao Tutti!! sono arrivato a Pesaro con sicurezza!!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"> how is everything!!! this week has been so exhausting!!! i honestly thought i would be going to another place and it would be more relax, because milano was so insane! i love the work, it was just really stressfull sometimes. so when i found out i was going to Pesaro i was excited, next to the beach, trangquillo, i and go back to doing finding every once and a while. NOPE! i get sent to one of the busiest cities in the mission! yes all the other stuff is true, but i have been on the go since i got here. and im on a bike again.....been six months since i last rode a bike, its weird not to rely on public transportation.....but thats what happens. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">my new comp is Anz. Moa! hes from hawaii! its really cool because i knew him before, when i was in Milano, he was in como, and we were in the same zone! and this week has been a blast, we have a good time and get a long really great with eachother. we teach really good together too! i hope i get to serve with him for atleast two transfers. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">so this week was good! the weather is very bipolar, because we're next to the ocean no one can really predict the weather. good thing the city isnt that big, and we can go home a change really quick if we need to. but this place is so pretty!!! im basically in toscana again! its not exactly toscana, but the hills and green look like it. its another region i cant remember, ill tell you next week! on one side of the city is the sea! so we get that nice cool, breeze during the day. its hot like arizona, which i love. on the otherside there is mountains and hills, when your think of italy you think of this scenery. im so excited to be here!! one of my prettiest cities i have served in!</span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">the church here is pretty small, its a branch, its weird to go from 170 members a week, to 15 members....its really weird. but there is so much work here! so im really excited. working with africans again haha. half of our simps are african, its weird, because up north all i spoke was italian, now i have to speak inglish a lot....but i can speak the language now, so that wont be a problem. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">

BUT I GOT THIS! all the anziani in my district are so awesome too! there is Anz. Howell (has twin brothers), Anz. Hallulli (has twin siblings) Anz. Berg (has twin Siblings) Anz. Moa (has twin Siblings) me! i am a twin, and then theres Anz. Gomez (who doesnt have any twins in his family) its really funny how almost all of us are related to twins! but im so excited! im the second oldest in the district in the mission! the other is one transfer above me. its weird to start being this old......im love my mission and excited for my new adventure i have here in Pesaro!!</span></div>

<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">thur. we had an emergency transfer, so now im still in a threesome, but im with anz. briand, and now anz. alder, him and i are from the same MTC group, its weird to be with someone in the same group, because we talk about how we're going home next year, and we talk about the MTC, its pretty fun. then over the weekend we just finished strong teaching and finding new simps. ill tell you i am so tired, but its good, because it means you working if your tired haha. i love my mission so much!!! i couldnt have been blessed with this chance i have if it was for heavenly father helping me, and with all the love and support from all of you at home. and this past week i have been thinking a lot because i could be getting transferred now, which means ill have to say goodbye to everyone, and this is going to be one of the hardest things to do here in milano, because i have been here from 6 months, these people are my family and i have made strong great and strong relationships. only thing that is a bummer about the mission, saying by way!!! tooo!!! much!! me and my comps have made a deal, only speak italian, in all places, except now....and when we have to talk to someone who only speaks english, its pretty hard, but i have seen a massive improvement in myself and how fluent my language is. if anyone has to learn another language i would recommend doing this, it will help you learn the language so much quicker. so this week i have never ran so many times in my entire mission, i hate public transportation, i will never live in a big city haha, its hectic, i had to catch a bus and a tram, which i had to run to both of them, such a tiring day. these past couple days have been good too!! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_225266049" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">monday</span></span> was the start of the week, and we taught and had a serata familiare with a member! it was good, the spirit was really strong. yesterday for inglish class we watched a movie! "the prince of egypt" it was a good movie, ill tell you i kinda miss movies haha. but its not on my mind all the time. and today we went to switzerland again, its so cool to just cross the boarder and go to a different country, and then come back to italy, if i could choose a place to live so far, it would be switzerland haha.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: #cccccc;">we are working hard trying to find investigators, we had a few disappointing experiences this week, we got dropped by two people, which was hard, because they were so close and then some how they just got scared or worried. but we are still working with some awesome people!! this south american family who has a brand new baby, i met them for the first time and they seem really awesome. then teresa, who has to wait to get divorced, but because the law changed she may be able to get remarried sooner, and then baptized! then we have the teen his name is alberto! hes cool we hadnt seen him for three weeks, and now im sad because i should be leaving, hes an awesome dude! as you can see its going to be hard to leave this city, and a cool thing there is an activity <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_225266050" style="border-bottom-color: rgb(204, 204, 204); border-bottom-style: dashed; border-bottom-width: 1px; position: relative; top: -2px; z-index: 0;" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ" style="position: relative; top: 2px; z-index: -1;">this friday </span></span>multicultural night!!! we are excited!!</span></div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
this week has been really crazy! but so much fun and rewarding.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<div>
thursday! we went to the family giavazzi, they are so awsome!!! one of the coolest families that i have met on the mission. welll if you remember a while ago i went to the military base in Vicenza, well i bought a Dr. Pepper, the dad speaks inglish and italian, and has heard about dr. pepper, but they dont sell it here, well i brought it over and had them all try it, they were really excited haha. it was pretty funny. but also that day i we went to the park with all the filipini, and played soccer, basket, and just had a BBQ it was really fun. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
friday!! we went to the mission office, and i had to figure everything out with my card! the guy was from georgia, hardcore accent! but then i was able to call mom!! even though it was only a little while it was awesome!! a sneak peak for this week haha. then we had to take the metro all the way from one end of the city to the other because we had to run an errand. i tell you, taking the subway stinks sometimes, its full most of the time, so you definitely get over any claustophobia you have haha.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sat. we had a lesson with clarence, i dont think i told you but we set a bapt. date with him!! so we're really excited!!.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sun. was church, we visited three families, our ward is really pushing family mission plans, so we have been asked to visit as many families as we can. its good and bad, good, they get family mission plans, bad, we eat everytime so we're become balloons haha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
mon. was zone meeting! it was fun, i got to see all the missionaries in my zone, and my comp gave his last testiomony because he goes home next week, weird to think that he goes home, but i have a year left haha. but we got caught off guard, this sisters in our district are moving to a new apt. so last minute we have had to help them for the past two days!! which is fun, but i have helped moved missionaries in every single on of my cities haha. im becoming quite the handy man, ill be set for my family when i go home haha.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
tues. same thing, we helped the sisters pack and move all their new stuff in the apt. a lot work because me and warnock had to move a washingmachine. but we managed, then we had to hurry, go home, and change for inglish class and serata familiare. it was fun as always!! i have made quite the group of friends haha. theyre all my age, so we have good times talking, i have made good friends with this kid named angelo, hes not a member, but still really legit, the sisters are teaching him, so im praying he'll get baptized soon!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
wed. today we have planned to go to the other church and play soccer with all the missionaries practically in the zone, im excited, its fun to hang out with them. im curious, because i see other missionaries go do things with sisters, on p days, in my mission we cant do anything wit the sisters, the only time we see eachother is on sun. and church activities, wierd......</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
im so very thankful for this chance i have to serve a mission, i love being a missionary, and i still have one whole year left! i know that God loves me, and he loves all his children, and i know that as we continue to follow his example, we will find happiness in this life, that will carry on to the next. </div>

<div>
Buona Pasqua! (Happy Easter)</div>
<div>
<div>
ciao tutti this week went really good!!! we did a lot of member finding, this ward is huge! there are about 600 members, but only 200 come to church, so either they moved or are less active, so we have the job of hunting them down. its pretty crazy because italy is insane and the street make no sense, so we get lost a couple times haha. because italy doesnt have a grid system. so the streets are everywhere haha. anyway this is how my week went!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
thur. we went to the family Giavazzi! and you wouldnt guess what they made us for dinner......you probly will guess haha, because i mentioned it before they made us Ossobuco! with polenta! it was so good!! i have to ask the him for the recipe! hes from around torino too so its a dish from that part of italy. so good! then we had a very spiritual message with their sister who isnt a member, we watched the restoration and had a good discussion why faith is important.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
fri. we did a lot of member pass bys, it was raining too, and the worst part was the streets werent accurate.....so we were pretty irritated, and we were in just a ghetto area (i mean dirty) which is actually pretty much all of italy haha. but later in the day we had an appointment with this guy named Gian Pierre, hes so elect and prepared! he met the missionaries about 5 years ago, he came to church once, and english class, but then stopped. he was 15 at the time. so now hes about 21 and said that his mom wants him to join the church, and his dad said he will support him. he still needs to learn a few things, but hes open to the gospel! it was just a cool miracle!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sat. we got stood up all day! it was lame :( but we still had pass-bys that we could do, so we did that for the night! could find anyone like usual, but it was good because we talked to a lot of people.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sun. BUONA PASQUA (happy easter) it was good! we ate at a families house for lunch, and then did pass-bys again! we thought for sure that everyone would be home, its easter! but there was no one, and in fact! everyone was in the streets partying......wierd for a christian holiday.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
mon. rained.....rained.....rained..<wbr></wbr>..and there was suppose to be an activity in the park but there was rain.....so we invited everyone to the church, only the flipino members came haha, but it was really fun! then we did more pass-bys! im telling you! our list has over 100 people on it! and we have to take a bus and metro everywhere.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
tue. we had serata familiare! and corso d'inglese! it was really awesome! one of my favorite days of the week!!! and we are starting to get so any more people coming to class!!! its awesome! when i got here we had about 3 now we have atleast 10 and FHE we have over 15-20 its so awesome!! one of my favorite wards in the mission, i hope i get to stay another transfer here to be honest! i would be okay with that!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>

<div>
so this week has gone by so quick!! i cant believe it!! its already wed. what the heck? haha. that just means im losing myself in the work, which is good because it helps me be more open to the spirit. the weather is really bipolar here! today its chilly, but all weekend it was really hot.....and to be honest i miss the arizona heat, only because its a dry heat and not humid! it SUCKS here!! haha. and maybe you forgot, italians dont have AC in their houses.....its crazy but its true, so everyone always had their windows or doors open, which is good for finding, because we just yell in the house threw the window haha. they usually shut the window and ignore us, but we try haha. but ill give you a run down on my week.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Giovedi (thur) we did a lot of finding, we made a couple of pass bys where we got stood up, but good news is we had a family that we went to go see, her daughter is less active and their sister is not a member, they are the coolest family!! they are so funny and we had a really good time, my comps birthday is in a couple weeks, so everyone is inviting us to their houses for their birthdays. we have a lot of parties for this kid haha. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
venerdi (fri) we did weekly planning and did more finding, its starting to get hotter so more people are out in the parks, which is good, we have tlked to so many people! its insane i lost count after 1,000,000 haha. we found this one park never to go to again, its a camp of hobos....at first we were confused where we were, but then realized that everyone in this park are hobos... its sad, but they dont want to listen, they alway want the church to give them money.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
sabato (sat) nothing really big happened, we did a lot of finding, and spent the afternoon tracking down less active members that have disappeared in the church records.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
domenica (sun) we had church, made appointments for the next week with the members, and then later that day we had dinner at a families!! it was really good!! this family is really awesome too!! this is a really good ward with really amazing and big hearted members. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
lunedi (mon) we did a lot more finding, found a lady in the park taught a nice lesson, but she said she wasnt really interested. its sad, but we gave her our number.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
martedi (tue) it was such an awesome night!!! we had inglish class, we taught the english class while the sisters taught family home evening that we do every <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_680185565" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">tuesday</span></span></span>. we played two truths and a lie, about everyone, helped them learn new words and sentence structure, because italian and english are way different in grammer. for FHE we played a game called fruits or something, every person had a fruit and when that fruit was called you had to switch seats. if you were in the middle three times you had to dance, sing, or have everyone in room tell you to do something. i didnt lose but everyone wanted me to dance, so at the end they made me do Gangnam Style for 30 sec.....it was really funny! missionaires have to have fun everyone once and a while haha. especially with members.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
miracle: so a random guy came into english class 30 min. early, his name is gian pierre, he met witht he missionaries 5 years ago, and decided to come to english class and serata familiare. it was really cool. we got his number and we're planning a day to meet up with him. awesome miracle!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
funny story: so at FHE i showed everyone the family picture we have of all of us on christmas, but its without brittny. well i told them "ci e' mancata lei" which means we were missing her. but the translation in that sense made everyone think she died. so for a while everyone thought brittny died, but i had to explain she stills lives haha. i was laughing really hard.</div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
vi voglio bene!! ci sentiamo!! ciao!!</div>

ciao tutti!!! this week is a lot different then most of the weeks! and i think this transfer is going to be a lot different too! 1. this is the longest i have stayed in a city. 2. im the oldest person in the city of the missionaries. 3. my comp is going home in six weeks, so hes really excited and it makes a little home sick. 4. its starting to get hot! which means humidity and BUGS!! but other than that im really excited about this transfer! im getting older in the mission which is weird, because i can remember when i first got here in italy! ive changed and so has my ideas and thought about how to be a missionary.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
this week i got my new companion, his name is anziano warnock! hes really cool, hes from Bountiful Utah! and he goes home at the end of the transfer (6 weeks) which makes me kind of jealous haha. but hes really cool, hes only a little taller than me, which makes me happy because all of my comps have been giants haha. ( yes i know im small) so the first couple days i was just showing him around the area, told him all about our investigators. this is all new for me because my first two cities i was new, so my comps had to do all this for me, its weird being the other person ahaha. its definitely making me grow, and i have to do a lot of the talking right now to because he doesnt know the simps, i do, so i have to help break the ice haha. </div>

anyway how it works in italy for conference! sat evening they show a recorded sat. morning session. then sun. at 10, we watch priesthood 2 we watch sat. evening, and 6 we watch sun. morning live from utah! its a long day because we have to stay at the church the entire time, but it was fun because there were about 16 missionaries there. of course we're the only ones in the inglish room too haha. we all loved conference!! priesthood was so good! i got good notes and i cant wait to put them into practice for the work here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2076179033" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">monday</span></span> was good!! but while we were studying we heard a huge BANG! then we heard "AIUTO (HELP)" we looked outside and a car nailed a dude on a motorcycle! that is the third one i have seen in the city in the same intersecion, everyone was okay!! i will never drive a motorcycle here in italy haha. but later that day we went to a lesson with a family!! theyre so awesome! i love getting a new comp, because you take them around to all the members and simps and we get fed a lot! which is good and bad, good: because they cook amazing!! bad: because all we do is eat and we get fat haha.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2076179034" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ">tuesday</span></span> we had inglish class and family home evening!! its was FUN!!! we played games, and i had to teach the lesson, which is pretty easy now because i can speak italian, not very well, i can comunicate and have a conversation, but one can always do better. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
im so thankful for this opportunity i have to serve a mission, as im coming up on my year mark i think of how my mission has changed me so far, all the changes i have seen with my life, my investigators, and my friends and family at home. i love this chance i have to serve the lord and be his tool in blessing the lives of his children. im so thankful for the knowledge and blessings i have from this church, the bible and the book of mormon. which i know without a doubt that when one reads that book, will gain a testimony that it is true, that jesus is our savior, and that god loves us. im thankful for the testimony that i have of the book of mormon. and i know that i can continue to grow my faith in god and jesus through it. </div>

<div>
this week has been really good!! <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2017568009" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">friday</span></span></span> the sisters had a baptism! this girl named sanndy, shes so awesome, shes from south america, her parents are members of the church, and she randomly came into the church one day. well during church and family home evenings we have had good talks and talking about how i joined the church and why she wants to join the church. well she asked me if i could baptize her! it was really nice that i was asked, but of course shes south american, so i had to practice all four of her names, they were easier than some that i have heard haha. we give a lot of blessings in the ward and there are a lot of people from the filipines, south america, so their names are pretty crazy sometimes haha. but i love helping the people and using the priesthood.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
so <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2017568010" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">this monday</span></span></span> we found out im staying here in milano for another transfer (6 weeks) but my comp is going to leave, so <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_2017568011" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">tomorrow</span></span></span> im going to get another comp, his name is Anz. Warnock, hes going to be in his last transfer, so a term we say in the mission, is when a mission finishes his missions, that means he "dies", and his last comp in the mission is the person who "kills" him. so this is the first missionary that im going to "kill" haha. im excited, because this means he has been in the mission for a long time and im excited to learn new things from him. but this means i have to say by to my comp right now, anz. miller, im going to miss that guy! hes really awesome and we have some good memories!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
im really excited for general conference next week, one of the best times to be on a mission is during general conference! im so excited to hear from the prophet and apostles. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
the weather is starting to get hot....im not going to like it because it gets really humid, and italy has HUGE bugs!! its crazy! but good news is that means more people are out in the city which makes it easier to do finding work! our invest. pool kinda slowed down, but we have good goals for this next transfer!! we're going to baptize!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
i love my mission so much! im am learning so many things, about myself, heavenly father and others. im making friends and helping others come closer to heavenly father. i know that this is the true church, i feel it confirmed through the holy ghost. i know that my savior loves me and all his children. being a missionary is a way of life for me right now, i couldnt go back to the real world haha, i love this opportunity i have help others. im feeling amazing! </div>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
vi voglio bene!! ciao!!</div>

sorry i dont have a lot of time but <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">this week has been really good, we set a bapt. date with an investigator that we met in the park, hes really awesome! we found him in the park doing strada, his name is giorgio, hes 50 years old, but has an amazing spirit, and our last lesson we was telling us how he know that hes changing his life, when he talks to us he likes the feeling he gets when he talks to us and loves us and the gospel. we're very excited to keep seeing him and help him progress, the lesson we had was with our bishop, it went really good, they are all awesome people, i love all the members here in the ward. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
we are still working with alfredo, hes really awesome! he has an amazing spirit and loves when when we come over, sometimes its frustrating because his phone doesnt work, so we can only pass by, and its takes about 45 min, by subway and bus to get to him. then hes not there......so it stinks a lot. but we continue to go see him atlest twice a week, because somedays we score and hes there! his next step he needs to do is come to church.</div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
nothing really crazy happened this week, just been really busy, we went over a filipino family for lunch <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_234074413" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">on sunday</span></span></span>! it was really good, that family is so awesome, they dont speak italian so we have to speak english with them. im starting to wonder if my english is sounding weird, only because we dont hear american english everyday, only italian english and filipino haha. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
last night we had serata familiare with members in the ward, every <span class="aBn" data-term="goog_234074414" tabindex="0"><span class="aQJ"><span style="color: #222222;">tuesday</span></span></span> we have english class and family home evening! last night was really fun! we played a scripture scavanger hunt in the church! and my team won! there were three teams! it was really awesome! but it helped us all learn that the scriptures can mean different things, as long as we apply it in our lives for good it will bring us blessings. </div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
another cool experience that we had was we got a referall for a less active member, we called her and she said we could come by and see her at work. we passed by and come to find out shes a nanny for a family, the husband is a writer and the wife is a tv host! we new they were wealthy right when we saw the door haha. but they are a nice family! so we are trying to see if we can go back share a message with the family. </div>
