Buon Giorno!
> Well it is finally winter here in italy. There is no snow but it is definately a little colder. We have been taking our coats with us everywhere. But maybe i will enjoy not having snow for a year since i cant play in it anyway. But these here are going very well. Zone conference was yesterday and it was great. I did not know where anyone in the mission was before yesterday because we find out at zone conference. I was really hoping that anziano Herrick would come down to the napoli zone, and i was guessing there was a fifty percent chance anziano Steiner would be the new assistant and i would get to see him. And both of them happened! So i was very happy to see them yesterday and the chances are anziano steiner will be assistant the rest of his mission so we will have served with eachother every transfer accept the last one. Such a blessing. Zone Conference was also very spiritual like it always is and we talked about gaining out own testimonies of the Savior Jesus Christ. It was really good. Arcangelo is still coming to church and meeting with us but he is having a hard time reading the book of mormon. He says he is still not in the right frame of mind. So if you could please pray for him. He is such a nice man and everyone at church loves him. Being here in italy makes me so grateful for the restoration because just talking with italians every day and them talking about the way the grew up and the things they were taught some of just the smallest truths i grew up with that the world does not understand. There is so much i have taken for granted in my life but i am so grateful for the knowledge that i have and the life i have ahead of me to live. Also this week we went to a city called Mondragone. It is about a hour and 15 minute bus ride from Caserta. It is also the home of Buffalo Mozzarella which is the best cheese in the world. So we definately had some of that while we were there and it was the best in the world. We went to Mondragone to teach the Gervasio family. The father is a member but inactive because he doesnt have a car to get to church. He was not married to long ago and they just had their first child a little girl. She had problems when she was born and so the elders gave the baby a blessing and the baby started healing quickly. The mother was able to see the power of the priesthood and wants to continue learning about our church. They have come to church the past 2 weeks and the lesson went really well. Hopefully their daughter will be able to come home from the hospital this wee and hopefully next week he can get a car. As we went to catch our bus that passes not often at all we sat down expecting to wait a while but the bus came within 5 minutes. It was such a blessing and a good experience. I know that the Lord is in this work. I love you all and appreciate all your emails letters and prayers. Have a great week!
