Quick lil update

I do not have much time at all but I wanted to give some highlights from the past couple of weeks. So with transfers my old companion left to go to the beach and party while I keep working hard here (aka he was transferred to la spezia). And I received a new missionary fresh from the MTC. But first let's back up a second. So the new missionaries are matched up with their trainers on Saturday. So what did I do for 3 days? Partied with Anziano Birchall. I stayed in his town (because he has AC) and we filmed some things for the mission. I got to say goodbye to so many missionaries going home and helped the senior couples cook some food and clean up. It was so much fun (and the food is SO good). Then saturday meet up with new missionary (anziano Greene). Boom then his first day here is sunday. Church goes great, I talk to members more than ever before. Boom monday we go back to milan for MLC (shoutout to sorella Zeidner reading this, my mission best friend). So basically even up until today my new missionary has yet to experience a typical day. I feel kinda bad. And a little stressed too. prayers please!

Anyway, things are going great. And I have grown a ton over the past transfer. I can see that missionary that I want to be. And with about a year left there is a chance of getting there. But having a new missionary as your companion, you do realize how far you have grown and have overcome already. It makes me grateful as I notice that the Lord has walked beside me through all of it. Helping me to overcome challenges and never give up on myself. 

We also had some bad storms, delayed trains, and soaked shoes.....ma Dio รจ buono!

This email is basically just for the photos, so here you go:

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...
