Good 2 Weeks

It's email time again! The weeks have been flying by pretty fast here; I can't believe it has been 19 weeks in Como already. And I still don't want to leave in 5 weeks since so many good things are going on! Let's catch up on some of our friends:

-Villanueva family: We have only done a couple lessons so far but they are a cute little Peruvian family that is so sweet. We were also instantly invited into their house which is somewhat rare. We also take our amazing member Fernando with us because he speaks spanish so he is able to clear up those things. 
-Micheal: He is already a missionary. I found him like a month ago now and honestly felt kinda bad that I was even reporting him as a find because I could not tell how interested he was at all. But he agreed to meet again so I had faith. The first time we went over he invited his son and they were so into it. And the next time he brought another friend to join us who was more interested than the first two!
-Jose: He is just the kindest person ever. He has come to church 2 times now and is super excited about the Book of Mormon!
-Fabio: Honestly I can't say how interested he is but he has come to church a few times now! He also is just trying to set me up with his niece. 

It has been very exciting this past transfer as all of these people have been really found and started progressing this past transfer so we are in the beginning with all of them and I can't wait to see how much they grow over the next few weeks. 

Hope you are all doing well!

No pictures from Anziano Puzey this week so including this picture from a church member who took multiple screenshots of him and his companion (Greene) while they were on a call with her. Candid 'day-in-the-life' shots of a missionary.

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...

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...

1-2-3 Formaggio 🧀

Well last p-day was full so this is another bi-weekly update (what is the distinction between twice a week and once every two weeks?)  Last week was great! I was able to attend my first MLC (mission leadership conference). I was able to be officaly introduced to the mission as tech leader. I received ALL of our gear the night before, which means I was running around the metro system of Milan with a suitcase, a backpack with two tri-pods sticking out, a brief case, and a ring light being flung everywhere. I sure used my Italian telling everyone around me how sorry I was. We stayed the night with the Elders in Cimiano and in the morning we met up with the Cimiano sorelle and the other sisters they were hosting and played some spikeball and basktball. Not having planned for this I only had my pajamas and church shoes to play in. It was a pretty good outfit. It was so great getting to meet all the ZL's & STL's from across the mission seeing as I still feel like I don't know...
