Zone Conference is just amazing everytime. I love the time to learn and to see other missionaries. Slla. Kelly shared more of the History of the mission in Italy. It definately is true that Italy sta fiorendo as we say, which means, is flowering. There have been many miracles to bring this about. We also spoke a lot about preparing for all the new missionaries that will be coming. It means a lot to hear how much confience and trust he has in us. It will be a great adventure and we are so excited. I love a quote he shared, that change is a part of life and if we choose to be frustrated by change, then we are going to choose to have a frustrated life. However, it is truly one of the most incredible part of life that we can change. It is there for us to ask Jesus Christ to come help us change. I love hearing the testimonies of missionaries before they go home. To hear of their insights and how they have changed. We each hold the same ability. Elder Christiansen has said that there are times in our life when we are
On our way from Zone Conference, we were actually able to go by the temple site. They say that the walls may be complete by the end of the month. There is an excitement here as we work to encourage the members to prepare for the completion of the temple. There is a power in the temple. For every block of the temple that is laid, the power of Satan dimishes on the earth. I can't
We had a baptism this last Sunday of a little boy in our ward and it made me think of Karlie's baptism coming up.
Georgia seems to have decided to have conflicting feelings over her companion and the experiences she has had. She had her son call us tell her that she never wants to see us again. She knows that the Book of Mormon comes from God and loves how she feels when we are there. We have had so many amazing lessons with her that we hope giving her some time will make it possible for us to meet again.
Rossana is over eighty years old and so sweet. She has a short attention span in lessons, but has started reading the Book of Mormon between our lessons. Her grandson was born prenatal and grew in the hospital. Her family is everything to her, so she has a lot of anxiety over this. However, she recognizes that reading the Book of Mormon helps her to feel calm and peaceful. Through all of this, she has agreed to a baptismal date for December 15th. She needs to talk with her son, who we hope to meet soon, and we hope that it will all work out. She calls us her granddaughters and loves seeing us.
Fratello D'Angelo was ready to come to church, but thought that we were coming to pick him up.... We have made double sure that he knows the Anziani are set to pick him up this week. He showed his website that has a whole page for the church. We spoke about general conference and invited him to watch a talk. He immediately wanted to add the link to his wesite. He is great to share what the church through his own way.
Fiametta is so faithful, reading her scriptures everyday and come to church whenever she doesn't have work at the hospital, and has such a desire to go to the temple. The only part is her companion, Manny is also a less active, who left the church after seeing people not living what they said to believe. She loves him, but we will see.
