Last Week of MTC September 23 2022

Hello All,

It's hard to believe that my time at the MTC is almost over. I leave at 4:30 am Monday to head to Italy. I think that this past week has been the most enjoyable week yet. I've had a lot of great experiences here and look forward to more in the field. I think my biggest surprise was how much I enjoyed choir while here. Brother Eggit (?) is the director and I'm not sure exactly what his job is but he tells us stories about the new Hymnbook and when he has directed in General Conference so I'm assuming he's pretty high up. But he also gives amazing spiritual thoughts during practice that always tie into the song we sing. At the MTC its a weird feeling being surrounded by people who are all at the same point in life, or at least all doing the same thing. But in the field my companion and I will be the only people in the world assigned to our specific area. We are the only people assigned to that tree in His Vinyard. Brother Eggit said that to us it may look like a Charlie Brown tree but God still loves it. It grievith him that he should lose that tree. I'm very excited to see where my first area is and meet the people I will be serving. 

I've run out of time but excited to update everyone next week. 

Ciao,
Anziano Puzey

Visiting the Italy Milan Mission & bringing Jackson home -- Getting to Italy

Image
Dad, Mom, Madi and Carson traveled to Italy to visit Jackson's mission, meet the people he had taught and served, and bring him home. This a complication of notes, pictures, social media posts and memories documenting the trip. Sorry it is a little disjointed as some is in first person, some third, some present tense and some past tense. Wednesday July 31st (social media post by Mom) On his very last day as a missionary, Anziano Puzey was still able to be the answer to prayer. This story is what I call a divine signature. When things so miraculously align that it feels as if Heavenly Father puts His signature to it saying ‘I’m here.’ He was out touring Milan for his last pday with another missionary who is waiting on his parents to get there and they ran into my childhood friend’s daughter. She is a classically trained violinist and she was there for a 3 week program. The program ended today and she had to make her way to a hotel in Milan on her own to fly home tomorrow (her progra...

Temi & Israel

Image
I have already written about the people who were baptized this past week but as a little reminder: Temi and her 3 kids were invited to come to church in the middle of Febuary and have come every week since. We were able to give her the Book of Mormon on that first Sunday and explain a few things about our church and set up a return appointment. Israel and her other sons found friends in the primary and, for the first time, found a church they wanted to keep coming back to. As they kept coming, they truly became a part of the branch and are known by all. They were baptized just a few days after Israel's 8th birthday and enjoyed celebrating with the whole branch. It was a great ceremony and it was so amazing seeing everyone come together. Our primary played a big role. We had them give a special musical number and a few kids talked about their baptismal experience. We had a couple of talks given by the primary leaders that know Israel really well and I think it helped them feel so sp...

End of June

Image
June is already over! I feel like it is still supposed to be spring, how is it moving by so fast? These past couple of weeks have brought some of the biggest changes that I have seen. We have seen constant miracles and have grown so much here in Como! We took zone conference to heart, and we know that the Lord has prepared at least one person a day. And we have seen that tenfold (well okay not really but still a ton). And the weird thing is that I would say we have been putting in a similar amount of work, but the faith I had in my previous statement was just more true than ever. And this leads to some great things! We have had a woman chase after us asking if we could meet with her and her son. I have sat next to people on buses who said they ran into missionaries years ago and would like to meet some more. We were even approached on the train by a guy who said that he is just searching for this relationship with God like he hasn't had before.  Following the 2020 co...
