Italy Milan Mission Anziano Jackson Puzey August 2022-July 2024

  Hello everyone, I hope everything is going well!  Things are going well here in Como, it is somewhat hard to remember everything that happened the past 2 weeks but I will do my best to remember. -We had interviews, and got to have them at the mission office -Had another p-day in milan, this time visiting hard rock cafe, the duomo, and some other shops🤩 -One of the street vendors was actually a member of the church and showed us the missionary cards she had in her cart to give to customers -This p-day we got to go on a 2.5 hour boat ride to Bellagio! (saw the house of gucci villa)😌 -Our ads are still exploding after 2 days having to be down because I caused a fraud alert🥳 We had a great exchange this past monday. We were on the train back from switching comps when I sat next to a woman and felt like we should start talking. So after a little hype up talk to myself I started a conversation. And it was great! Then the woman asked if I was with the other american sitting...

We did not get an email this week from Anziano Puzey but he did upload a bunch of pictures to share with the family in Google drive. As the technology captain for the mission, Jackson attended the Mission Leaders Training meetings. He also took photos, videos and interviewed fellow missionaries.

Time is going by fast in Como. But also the mission seems to just get faster and faster. For actual Como things are going okay. We found some people that seem a bit interested, but the only lessons I've done have had to be over google translate into amharic. And sadly she is not legally allowed to come to church because she can't leave Switzerland... but she did enjoy the Book of Mormon we gave her in her language!  And in some ways it is good that things are not too crazy because I am having to spend as much time as possible sending out referrals from our tech ads. There are a lot of people that want to learn Italian from Spanish, and so far almost 1,200 of them also want to hear a spiritual message from the missionaries....I'm probably more than a week behind but they are being sent out to their local missionaries!  I have just felt very thankful the past couple of weeks. I'm grateful for my new city, my mission, all the things I get to be a part of, and how I am able...

Ciao everyone, it has been awhile. Quite a few changes have happened. After 19 weeks in Brixen/Bressanone I have moved to Como. It was a really hard goodbye to some of my favorite people. Especially the Branch President and his wife, I am as close to them as some friends at home... But I guess that is the life of a missionary. I've been in Como for a week now and it is beautiful too. I like being so close to the lake and our church building is pretty amazing. And serving in a big ward is such a big difference. I had some great pictures of the things I just mentioned but sadly my SD card broke so I do not have them anymore...Some were posted on facebook though!  The Italian is coming back. I get the chance to use it daily again which has been great. It takes some patience and can be scary but that's what learning is all about. Our main finding city is actually Chiasso in Switzerland, and multiple members live across the border. It actually does feel surprisingly different after...
