Italy Milan Mission Anziano Jackson Puzey August 2022-July 2024

Anziano Puzey did not write an email this week but the Milan Italy Mission Facebook page posted pictures from zone conference for the Verona and Venezia Zones, which Jackson attended over the weekend of February 18-19, 2023.

It was also a lot less stressful to pick up than it was going the first time. And it only took 3 hours. Since we took the Bolzano Anziani with us we also decided to show the new missionary the Duomo a...

This week was somewhat of a blur. I wouldn't say it flew by, but it also felt like it just was 2 days long. Since I don't have the most time (helping with transfers today!) I'll just share about the best Sunday yet! It started pretty slow and normal, until we were missing 3 families that normally come. It was sad but nothing crazy. Then as I knelt to bless the Sacrament 8 people rush into the room and filled the seats right infront of me. I look up, do some quick math and break more bread seeing as the amount of people just increased by 50%. I also notice one is wearing a cotapaxi (or however that is spelled) jacket. So I knew they were Americans. Problaby from Utah. As we were cleaning up after the lunch our member Consuelo (remember the mom who runs everything?) told us that everytime the branch is missing people, we have visitors. She said it's happened too many times to deny.  Then we waited at the church for our first meeting with Daslin! She is amazing. During a b...
